Tata Power-DDL, a joint venture between Tata Power and the Delhi Government, has teamed with Japan-based Nissin Electric Co Ltd. The collaboration has commissioned India's first micro substation with power voltage transformer (PVT) that will provide a low-cost and reliable power supply to consumers. The project is a part of International Demonstration Project on Japan's Energy Efficiency Technologies, publicly solicited by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organisation (NEDO). To commence this project, Tata Power -DDL and Nissin Electric signed a project agreement on August 21, 2024.

What is a Micro substation with PVT? 

A micro substation with PVT technology can convert high-voltage power directly from transmission lines to low-voltage power, suitable for residential consumers, a statement said. The introduction of such a substation is primarily aimed at low-cost and reliable power supply to remote load centers with challenging terrains. It will also be helpful in urban landscapes where there are challenges for network extension to meet the growing load.
