POWER- CITY NEED AND SUPPLY

1.0

Introduction
Thane Municipal Corporation area having population more than 15 Lakhs is passing through a phase of continuous and rapid development in residential complex, commercial complex and industrial activities. It is well known fact that the availability of adequate, uninterrupted and quality power plays crucial role in development of any city. The consumption of electricity per capita is one of the important indicators for deciding the development of any city. All the civic amenities and utilities are dependent on availability of power.

Presently, Govt. of Maharashtra has designated 'Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd' (MSEDCL) as a licensee to distribute the electric power in Thane Municipal Corporation area.

2.0 2.1

Present scenario Power requirement and Infrastructure of MSEDCL for TMC area ;
At present there are 27 nos. of 22/11kV transformers with installed

capacity of 215 MVA . The peak demand is 190 MW. This capacity is just enough to feed the present load & it will not be sufficient to meet future demand. Further the 22kV network is 30-40 years old & deteriorated causing frequent Interruptions. The 11 kV cable network is also old & deteriorated. The tower & 22 kV lines are also old & rusted. As regards distribution transformers , it is are loaded Up to 70 to 80 % hence it is seen that almost all the DTCs

3.1.2 Additional Sub transmission of 22 / 11 kV transformation capacity. At present there are 22 Nos. of 22 / 11 kV transformers with installed capacity of 205 MVA for connecting the load of LT Industrial, Commercial and Residential power and 11 kV and 22 kV HT consumers. But this installed capacity is not sufficient to meet the further load growth in coming years. To meet the future required load growth, 3 No. of 2 x 10 MVA 22 / 11 kV transformers Sub Stn. and 2 Nos of 22 / 11 kV augmentation to 20 MVA capacity is proposed to increase the total capacity of the sub transmission transformation capacity to 305 MVA which will be adequate to meet the future growth in demand. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------468

3.1.3 Improvement in 22 kV feeders : At present there are 27 No. of 22 kV feeders, out of which 11 Nos are for the 22 / 11 kV sub stns. and for 22 kV H.T. consumers. 22 kV Upvan feeder is having old 22 kV 3 ph 95 sq.mm XLPE cable laid 20 years back and having No. of joints and hence breakdowns and interruptions are more. . Hence, replacement of the above cable by 22 kV 3C/ 300 sq.mm XLPE cable for 3 km is proposed. At present 22 / 11 kV Thane (E) Valmiki Receiving Stn. and Central Railway, Thane is feeding through the 22 kV tower line emanating from 220 / 22 kV Colourchem Receiving Stn. This tower line is 30-35 years old. Some of the towers of this feeder in the portion from Central Railway gantry are deteriorated and requires the immediate replacement. The D.P. structure is to be erected to terminate the tower line for connecting the cable to be laid upto Railway gantry structure. Similarly, the 22 kV O.H. 0.2 ACSR feeder from 220/22 kV Kalwa EHV S/S is feeding to 22/22 kV Bharat Gear S/s at Mumbra with single circuit causing over loading problem. To overcome this problem a new 22 kV / .2 ACSR HT circuit from Mahape S/s to Bharat Gear S/s is proposed. Also 22 kV new additional. O.H. feeder to Diva section is proposed from 220/22 kV Manpada Dombivli S/s. 3.1.4 Improvement in overloaded 11 kV Feeders : The 11 kV network in the Thane city is feeding with 59 No. of feeders having 197 kms in length, out of which 50 kms of 11 kV feeder is of PILC cable which is 35-40 years in service. Hence, frequent breakdowns are occurring on these feeders and hence the interruptions are more. This old cable is to be replaced and hence; Replacement of 45 km old PILC cable is proposed with 3C/ 300 sq.mm XLPE cable to make the system healthy and to avoid the breakdown and to minimize the interruptions. In addition to this new 11 kV feeders for 64 km length are proposed to inter-link the S/s to each other and for new transformer centers. The entire 11 kV network will be healthy and can take the further load and the interruptions can be avoided and consumers satisfaction can be achieved.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------469

3.1.5 Improvement in Distribution transformers capacity and LT network : At present the Thane city area is fed with 866 No. of Dist. transformers of various capacities with 1210 km of LT cable network of various sizes to feed the LT consumers. The LT cables are very old are laid before 25-30 years and having number of joints and needs replacement. Hence, 90 km of cable replacement is proposed. New LT cable laying for 65 km for new LT circuits are also proposed. The distribution transformers capacity is required to be enhanced by n 1) New DTC - 31 Nos. of 22kV (13 x 630 kVA) (10 x 500kVA) ( 8 x 315 kVA) Total DTC 82 Nos.of11kV (82 x 630 KVA) Total TOTAL 22KV&11KV capacity 2) By augmentation of the capacity of existing DTC to 630 kVA of 22/0.433kV- 36 Nos 1) 500 KVA to 630 kVA = 18 Nos 2) 400 KVA to 630 kVA = 6 Nos. 3) 315 KVA to 630 kVA = 12 Nos.

In addition to above 60 KM LT cables are of having Nos. of joints. This results in frequent breakdown and interruption to the consumers. To avoid this replacement of total 90 KMs of LT cables are proposed herewith. New LT cable is to be laid for new DTC, interlinking etc.. for which LT cables of 65 Km in length is proposed. LT Pillars 470 Nos of various ways/types are also proposed to make existing LT distn. Systems healthy to cater future load growth. 3.1.6 Improvement in existing 22/11 kV substations The following 22/11 kV Rec. stations the 22 kV breakers, 11 kV switchgears, battery chargers are not in condition. The 22 kV breakers are of MOCB type and required more restoration period, thereby increasing the interruption. 11 kV switchgears are also 30-35 years of old and MOCB type. They do not withstand the current fault-level and thereby causing frequent flashovers. It also causes the accidents to persons working around. To re duce the downtime/breakdown period, also to have maintenance free 22 kV breakers and 11 kV switchgears the following replacements are proposed. As the new breakers, 11 kV switchgears have 30 Volt DC control level, suitable capacity of 30 Volt battery set with battery charger are also to be replaced. In some Rec. s/s. With 25-30 years old installed LT distribution system , is also required to be replaced.

The energy saving measures adopted are as follows 3.2.1.1 Street lighting

TMC has installed microprocessor based cyclic almanac timer in cont rol panels of streetlights, which switches ON/OFF street lights precisely at almanac time considering seasonal changes. During late nighttime need of lighting level is reduced due to reduction in vehicular and pedestrian traffic. These microprocessor based cyclic timer switches OFF street lights alternately at predetermined time and manner, say at certain roads 1/3 street lights are switched OFF alternately at 11.00 PM and further 1/3 street lights are switched OFF at 1.00 AM and remaining 1/3 street lights remain ON up to sun rise. 3.2.1.2 a) Municipal Buildings In case of HT connections power factor improving equipments have been provided and thereby incentive in electricity bill has been earned from state electricity board. Various measures have been undertaken for reduction in energy consumption of air conditioning machinery viz. providing timers for window AC, optimizing the use of central AC plant, improving the efficiency of chiller system, installation of FRP fan for cooling towers etc. Installation of energy efficient tri phosphor T tube lights with electronic -8 ballast . Thane Municipal Corporation has installed variable voltage variable frequency drive for water pumps & motors of central AC plants. This has resulted into 25% energy saving. 3.2.1.3 a) Water pumping Refurbishments of pumps have been carried out. The clearances of rotating parts of pumps have been reduced to designed parameters. This has resulted in 7.5 % increase in water delivery. Also kWh per MLD has reduced.Also inefficient pumps have been replaced by new one, wherever required.

ABOUT BIOMETHANATION PROCESS The BDO and COD in the sewage wastewater and total solids in the organic waste decompose rapidly (i.e. is highly putrescible) and therefore these wastes can be treated by biomethanation process (more commonly called Anaerobic Digestion, AD) in more effective manner. In this method, the liquid and solid waste is treated in closed vessels where, in the absence of oxygen, microorganisms break down the organic matter into a stable residue, and generate a methane-rich biogas in the process. This biogas can then be used as a source of renewable energy to produce electricity. The solid residue which remains after biomethanation process comprises solid / fibrous material and liquid, which can be separated and rendered to meet local needs. The fiber represents an effective organic material, which can be sold as manure or blended into organic compost. The aqueous liquor is a nutrient-rich fertilizer, which can be used to recycle nutrients back to agricultural land. The treated waster is then further treated using Diffused Aeration and Chlorine disinfection methods. Therefore, in this particular case, treated liquor discharge can be permitted to water sources. THE ADVANTAGES OF BIOMETHANATION PROCESS Treated water conforms to river disposal norms laid down by MPCB.
