Delhi Transco Limited is the State TransmissioN Utility of the National

Capital Territory of Delhi. It is responsible for transmission of power at

220KV and 400KV level, besides upgradation operation and
maintenance of EHV Network as per system requirements.

After the enactment of Electricity Act 2003, a new department under

the name and style of State Load Despatch Center (SLDC) under Delhi
Transco Limited was created, as an Apex body to ensure integrated
operation of the power system in Delhi. SLDC Delhi started its
function on the First of January 2004. SLDC is responsible for the real
time Load Despatch function, O&M of SCADA System and Energy
Accounting.

 Acquiring data in real time is the fundamental function of SCADA
System.

This is required for visualizing the state of monitored system in

real time.

In our case monitored system is DTL network as well as northern

grid which consists of sub-stations, generating stations etc..

The communication and that data transmission from one substation
to another substation is carried out by means of PLCC system.
PLCC utilizes high frequency channel in the frequency range
between 50 and 500kHz. The high frequency data is transmitted
through the power line conductors. PLCC is also used for
protection.
1) wave trap
2) Coupling capacitor
3) line matching unit
4) Transmitter, receiver and other electronic equipment.
PLCC is used for voice communication, telemetry, telecontrol,
network monitoring, SCADA.
 WAVE TRAP-Offer negligible impedance to power frequency & high
impedance to carrier frequency.
COUPLING CAPACITOR-This is used for blocking the high voltage
entering to the PLCC equipment.
LINE MAtCHING UNIT-The output of PLCC is connected to the
matching unit before the power line to achieve the proper
impedance match & protection between PLCC equipment & power
equipment.
CO -AXIAL CABLE-This is used for inter connection between PLCC &
LMU for carrying the high frequency signal.
 OPGW is a composite
wire which serves as a
conventional overhead
ground wire, with the
added benefit of
providing high-
capacity and reliable
fiber optic
communication.
Fig. 4
Suitable for Transmission lines of 132KV and above.
Acts as earth wire cum- OFC.
Right of Way (ROW) readily available on transmission
lines
No forest Clearance etc are required
Transmission infrastructure is sturdy, stable, free from
vandalism and rodent menace.
Faster Roll-out. Mostly Live line installation without
disrupting power flow
Longer Life of OPGW
Use of fiber optic based communication offers
availability of phenomenal bandwidth. Not only
this, it also offers low attenuation and capable of
covering large distances with higher transmission
rates. Currently the OPGW of single mode fiber
type has experimentally established that almost
400 kms distance can be covered without repeater
for transferring the status of various data
measurements and protection control signals and
other parameters to the SCADA. Such OPGW
makes use of optical signals of 1310 to 1550
nanometer (nm) wave length in 6-12-24-...-144
core.
 SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy)

DWDM (Dense Wave Digital

Multiplexing)

PDH(Plesiochronous Digital
Hierarchy)

Depending on the medium , various

types of end equipments (Transmitters /
Receivers) are deployed for collection /
transmission of voice , Data & Video
SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) aggregates a number of lower-
speed electrical or optical signals into a single higher bit rate signal for
transmission over a single fiber using a single wavelength. Time division
multiplexing (TDM) or statistical TDM is used. Generally suitable for
access networks. Both PDH and SDH are terminologies associated with
digital multiplexers used in exchanges. The different hierarchies having
different bit rates are combined.
The signals from telephone exchanges or computer network
such as Ethernet or data from RTU (Remote Terminal Unit) or
connected to the SDH gate way through specialized equipment
called primary multiplexer at the sending end. At the receiving
end these are again dropped out of SDH gateway through
another set of similar equipment and connected to the exchange
or ethernet. Providing this OPGW over existing comparable
communication links of Electricity board achieve increase band
width at a low investment with increased automation being
taken in terms of computerization of billing and collection,
accessing their main load center points.
