The commissioning marks an important step in enabling more sustainable high-voltage grid infrastructure and supporting ongoing decarbonisation efforts across the power sector.Siemens Energy India Limited on Monday commissioned its first sulfur hexaflourie-free circuit breaker at the 145 kV level for the Goa Electricity Department (GED), marking the deployment of its blue high-voltage technology in India.
The commissioning marks an important step in enabling more sustainable high-voltage grid infrastructure and supporting ongoing decarbonisation efforts across the power sector, as per the official release.
“As India’s power system continues to evolve, the focus is expanding beyond how electricity is generated to how it is transmitted and managed. As the demand for power increases, there is also an opportunity to reduce the environmental footprint of the infrastructure that carries that electricity. The commissioning of the 145 kV Sulfur hexaflourie-free circuit breaker in Goa is an important step in bringing cleaner high-voltage technologies into India’s transmission ecosystem,” said Guilherme Mendonca, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Energy India Limited (SEIL).
High-voltage circuit breakers are critical components of the transmission networks, helping protect the grid by safely interrupting electrical currents during faults and enabling reliable power transmission.
As India progresses towards its long-term climate and energy goals, reducing emissions across the electricity value chain is becoming increasingly important. Alongside cleaner sources of power generation, attention is also turning to the infrastructure that transmits electricity.
Technologies that reduce the environmental impact of grid equipment can play an important role in building a more sustainable power system, the company said in a statement.
