1. Introduction to Power Engineering 1.1 Power System Functions The traditional power system is arranged as a hierarchy. Generators feed into a high voltage transmission system that facilitates bulk transfers of power over large distances. Connected to the transmission system are medium voltage distribution networks that take power from grid supply points and deliver it to the customers who are supplied a low voltage. For a lot of its history‚ the electricity supply industry has operated as

March 2011. The power sector added record conventional capacities of 12‚160 MW during 2010-11. However‚ despite the Indian power sector having shown substantial growth during the post-independence era‚ the sector has been ailing from serious functional problems during the past few decades. In 2010-11‚ India faced power deficit of 10 per cent and peak demand shortage of 13.3 per cent. In this backdrop‚ Power sector reforms were first initiated in India in 1992 by the Ministry of Power (MoP) to invite

POWER LINE COMMUNICATION “Power line communications (PLC) is a global technology with worldwide interest in its development. In its simplest terms‚ PLC modulates communication signals over existing power lines. This enables devices to be networked without introducing any new wires or cables. This capability is extremely attractive across a diverse range of applications that can leverage greater intelligence and efficiency through networking.” - Texas Instruments.
