Areva T&D India's transmission business (now a part of
Alstom Grid) has entered into a memorandum of
understanding with Power Grid Corporation of India to
provide ultra high voltage technology for the upcoming
1,200kV national test station at Bina in Madhya Pradesh.
As per the MoU, Areva T&D India will provide 1,200kV
capacitor voltage transformer, disconnectors and digital
current transformers. All these high end products have been
developed, manufactured and tested at Areva T&D India's
world class factories at Hosur and Padappai—both in Tamil
Nadu, a statement by Areva T&D noted.
PGCIL is in the process of establishing a 1,200kV UHVAC
transmission system at Bina. This pilot project will facilitate
field testing of equipment before deploying the technology for
commercial purposes.
