World’s Highest transmission voltage
YITS3
Introduction
To develop 1200 kV AC Transmission System and associated equipment indigenously, a joint initiative is taken by POWERGRID, CPRI and Equipment Manufacturers to set up a 1200 kV Testing Station and an experimental line at BINA in Madhya Pradesh.

HOW POWERGRID PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE POWERGRID plays a significant role in socio-
economic development of the country and in pursuing clear objective of transmitting power across the country
In a bid to further boost the transmission capacity of the country, India has moved towards Ultra High voltage (UHV) transmission level.

Need for UHV voltage level to transmit power over large distances was always felt.
Table I gives he comparison of Power transfer capability (MW/m) for transmission voltages in India.

Bundle Conductor Selection
.
PGCIL carried out these tests in a Corona cage at UHV test lab at CPRI, Hyderabad. Octagonal Bersimis ACSR (Die 35.1mm) bundle conductor was chosen. Three types of bundle arrangements. with different sub conductor spacing of 350 mm. 450 mm and 550 mm were adopted.

1200kV Wardha-Aurangabad Line It’s India’s first 1200 kV UHVAC Transmission Line –
400kV Double circuit line upgradable to 1200kV
Towers and Foundations are designed considering 1200kV parameters
Tower designs are suitable for operation of two circuits of 400kV

Conclusion: According to my view, India has quite an
experience in 11 kV to 420 kV systems. But in 800 kV AC system, it has only limited exposure. In this context, the Power Grid was in the forefront of indigenously developing a 1200 KV UHV electrical transmission system. The UHV transmission system, would go a long way in helping to conserve the right of way (as it would replace three 400 kV transmission lines).
