The Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Ltd (TGSPDCL) has decided to regenerate the existing transformers with high-capacity ones successful the substations and organisation lines registering precocious load-growth, with 16 MVA capableness powerfulness transformers successful the substations and lines with 1,000 kVA organisation transformers successful spot of 500 kVA ones.
The determination was taken astatine a reappraisal gathering jointly held by the authorities of the TGSPDCL and Telangana Transmission Corporation Ltd (TG-Transco) present connected Friday and chaired by Chairman and Managing Director Md. Musharraf Faruqui and Directors of the 2 utilities. Existing transformers, some PTRs and DTRs, would beryllium replaced with high-capacity ones successful the areas registering precocious load growth, arsenic portion of plans to conscionable the maturation successful request during the coming summertime season.
Mr. Faruqui stated that the highest powerfulness request adjacent twelvemonth (summer season) was expected to summation successful the scope of 19,500 megawatt to 20,000 MW and the request successful the Greater Hyderabad portion was apt to beryllium 5,000 MW. It was being planned to upgrade 3,866 organisation transformers (DTRs) and 431 powerfulness transformers (PTRs) to grip specified an summation successful the request successful the Southern Discom areas, helium noted.
He explained that the capableness of powerfulness transformers would beryllium accrued astatine substations successful Jubilee Hills, Madhapur, Manikonda, Gachibowli, Medchal, Shivaram Pally, Medipally, Patancheru, R.C. Puram, Bollaram, Borapatla, Narsapur and Palamakula areas.

In the Greater Hyderabad areas, 500 kVA DTRs presently registering implicit 70% of the load capableness would beryllium replaced with 1,000 kVA transformers.
Similarly, 33/11 kV substations, mostly successful the Greater Hyderabad limits, would beryllium equipped with 16 MVA high-capacity PTRs. He noted that installation of the large-capacity transformers would importantly mitigate the contented of abstraction constraints.
