Tata Power : launches India’s first Self-Healing Grid technology for Mumbaikars; ensures uninterrupted Power Supply

Tata Power, India's largest integrated power Company, has always been mitted to providing quality and uninterrupted power to its consumers, while developing a robust network backbone to support its growing consumer base. In line with its mitment to constantly innovate for the benefit of its consumers, the Company today announced the adoption of Self-Healing Grid technology at its 11 kV Distribution Network in Kandivali, the first of its kind in India to be implemented by the Company as a Distribution utility.

The purpose of the Self-Healing Grid technology is to help automate the process of restoration of power supply to keep interruptions (if any) to a bare minimum. Unlike the conventional centralised control approach, Self-Healing Grid (SHG) is a totally decentralised approach where, in case of power fault, every substation municates with each other and executes the best possible instruction for rapid fault isolation and restoration of supply in the network. In case of power interruption, the average restoration time with SHG is less than a minute, unlike the conventional restoration time which usually takes about 15 minutes. In addition, the Self-Healing Grid concept requires no manual intervention, thereby minimising all errors or delays in the restoration of supply to the consumers. SHG's less than a minute power restoration turnaround time is extremely useful in case of essential services like Hospitals, Banks, and Data Centres, and the technology also reduces emissions & carbon foot print.

Speaking on the initiative, Mr. Ashok Sethi, Executive Director - Operations, Tata Power stated, "Tata Power is mitted to empowering its consumers, and has been undertaking various initiatives to ensure the best possible service to the Mumbaikars. Self-Healing Grid is an innovative step towards addressing power interruptions in an optimal way. The Company will continue to develop a robust network backbone and, to facilitate the same, it will continue to deploy innovative technologies to overe all constraints, and serve growing demand of consumers."

Tata Power aims to deliver the best by incessantly introducing new and innovative solutions. With its track record of technology leadership, project execution excellence, world class safety processes, customer care and driving green initiatives, Tata Power is poised for multi-fold growth and mitted to 'lighting up lives' for generations to e.
