Ashok Sethi, COO & Executive Director, Tata Power, discusses how the Indian power sector being one of the prime sources of pollution, is presently going through a major transformation to ensure reduction in emissions.

One of the most versatile electrical products with a wide application spectrum ranging across computers, televisions, appliances, automobiles, aircraft, domestic and industrial equipments, power electronics, drivers, UPS; capacitors are not just energy storage devices, but are also used for signal filtering, processing and power conditioning (power factor correction and transient suppression (harmonic filtering).

Despite having been a part of the India power T&D for over 50 years, lack of awareness and expertise of utilities, have left monopoles as yet obscured.

Strongly supported by Guangdong Government, with the goal to produce 400 million kilowatts from photovoltaic power generation in 2020, based on 100 million kilowatts in 2015.

In conformity to the development trend of China's PV industry, PV Guangzhou 2016 emphasised on distributed PV system and related modules.

A recovery in Asian demand and supply constraints in the global market has sparked an increase in price of commodities like copper, pushing manufacturers to increase cost of low-voltage electrical equipment. Electrical equipment such as circuit breakers, switching and control and metering products are used extensively in industrial, commercial and residential segments, with a significant chunk used in the power sector.

“By allocating coal blocks to power companies, the issue of receipt of poor quality coal from mines through the coal linkage system while be taken care of since the power companies will mine and beneficiate coal for their economical usage. However, indiscriminate mining or unscientific mining of coal has to be guarded against in our national interest,” he added.

India has become a net exporter of electricity for the first time, the power ministry has said, adding that upcoming cross-border transmission lines with neighbouring countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar will only increase sales.

Power Mech Industries is so oriented that it is able to provide and facilitate service to thermal and hydro power plants. The facility is also extendable to cover the 'renewable energy' sector which is likely to be the future of the nation.
