Rural Electrification with Loss Minimization Through different Strategies for Sustainable Infrastructure Development
Krishnakant Gautam*, Vijay Bhuria**
*PG student, **Assistant Professor Department of Electrical Engineering, Madhav Institute of Technology & Science, Gwalior (M.P)

Abstract—The problem of electricity supply with minimum possible losses is the challenge to countries like India where 72% of human resources inhabited in 600 villages. Electricity on one hand is identified as key component of socio economic development, at the same time it is also identified as a commodity to be traded and large scale restructuring of power system is being taken up with vertical unbundling. Rural electrification is an important component of Integrated Rural Development. Rural electricity distribution is costly due to dispersed distribution of loads in spread over areas. The problem needs to be addressed from several view points as social, economic, and technological advancements. This paper emphasizes on development of new techniques for minimal power loss in electricity distribution system .The proposed high voltage distribution system being cost effective on one hand is equally applicable to urban areas as well. Index Terms— High voltage, line losses, feeder,

I Introduction
Expansion of electrification and electricity services are vital to both the economic and social development of India. The current state of electricity services in most of the states of India is worse than ever. Some of the signs of this crisis are severe shortcomings in a) Access to electricity for rural and urban poor,

b) Generation capacity that cannot meet peak demand and c) Reliability of supply, in terms of predictability of outages and quality of power supply. According to National statistics,

    The last decade has been harsh enough for the people of Nepal. The power cut being hiked up to 16 hours a day in 2009 provides testimony to the fact that Nepal has been hard hit by energy crisis. Given the over-increasing population, along with rapid industrialization and urbanization, the demand of electricity continues to mount, especially in urban and commercial areas. The nation, however, has not been able to supply enough to meet its demand. This year itself the power cut roared up to 80 hours a week. The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) concedes that severity of load shedding will not diminish in the short term (refer to “Bartaman Load Shedding Lai Tat Kaal Samadhan Garni Upaya Haru Ko Sammandha Ma Sabai Pakchya Haru Ko Adhyan Gari Sujav Dina Jal Shrot Mantralaya Ko Nirnaya Anusar Gathit Samiti le Pesh Gare Ko Pratibedhan report originally available at - www.nea.org.np)…

    Electrification

    2. Summary: Rural electrification is a pro-poor flagship program of the Philippines’ Department of Energy (DOE), the aim of which is to improve the quality of life in rural areas through the provision of adequate, affordable and reliable energy services in a sustainable manner. The government has set an ambitious target of 100% electrification at the barangay (village) level by the year 2006, implying electrification of about 8,300 barangays during the period 2001-2006. However, many of the non-electrified barangays are in areas that are not viable for grid extension, due to their remoteness and/or low density of demand. In addition, even in “electrified” barangays, many households remain unelectrified, sometimes because they are in isolated pockets which are too expensive to connect to the local grid. Hence only about half of the unelectrified barangays can feasibly be connected to the main grid, while the other half (the “offgrid” areas and the isolated unserved pockets in “electrified” barangays) will have to be served by decentralized systems (independent minigrids and individual systems). The challenge of implementing off-grid electrification is inextricably linked with the need to address deep-seated problems in the rural power subsector. These include serious financial and capacity constraints of the lead rural electrification body, the National Electriifcation Administration (NEA), and of many of the rural electric cooperatives (ECs). These constraints have led to the vicious circle of underinvestment in rehabilitation,…

    The power sector is one of the most prominent sectors of an economy and a growth in this sector definitely fuels the growth of the economy. The power sector has received adequate importance ever since the process of planned development started after the Independence. The generation of Thermal power started with the construction of first thermal power unit (1MW) at Calcutta in the year 1898.Back then, generation and distribution of electric power was carried out by private entities like Calcutta electric which is still existent. Electric power was limited to few urban places and the rural places were devoid of any power till independence. But, after Independence the entire…

    Power Crisis in Bangladesh

    Power plays a great role wherever people lives and works in industry, agriculture, and transportation etc. The living standard and prosperity of a nation vary directly with increase in use of power. As technology is advancing the consumption of power is steadily rising. Sufficient and reliable source of electricity is a major prerequisite for a sustained and successful economic development effort and poverty reduction. In Bangladesh, 90 million of the populations out of 140 million do not have direct access to electricity and remaining 50 million people have access but reliable and quality power is still beyond their reach (BPDB, 2007). In order to achieve the growth rate, availability of a reasonably priced and reliable source of electricity is a prerequisite. Present generation of electric power in Bangladesh is not sufficient to meet the consumers growing demand. So it is not possible to ensure a constant supply of electric power to all consumers throughout the country. Moreover the demand is increasing day by day. So it is essential to set up more generating station for over demanding load.…

    As a result of the drought in 1979, the Indian economy received a severe jolt. All of a sudden it was reported that there was acute power-famine. There was a wide gap between demand for electricity and its supply. Power cuts were imposed for long periods. To conserve electricity, market timings were changed from 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. Electricity was not supplied to consumers for several hours every day. Power-cuts were imposed even on industrial concerns, resulting in a slackening of the pace of industrial production. Enough of electricity was not available even for agricultural purposes.…

    Another significant step in this direction would be to bring down the wastage of energy. In India about 23 per cent of electrical energy is lost during transmission and distribution. This can be curtailed by adopting appropriate measures. Penalty may be levied and legal actions initiated against power pilferage. Privatisation is another suggestion which can obtain desired results and improve the generation, transmission and distribution in the power sector. Energy is key to the modern…
