Next Higher AC Transmission Voltage
2.6.10 The adoption of 800 KV class as the next higher AC
transmission voltage in the country had been accepted by the
Govt. of India in October, 1988. The decision had been
conveyed to all State Electricity Boards/Power Utilities, etc.
With a view to bring uniformity in the development of future
800KV systems in the country, the Standing EHV Committee
had constituted 10 Working Groups with representatives from
Electricity Boards/Undertakings, CPRI, Industry and CEA to
take up the work of standardisation of 800 KV class
equipment/transmission line material. Based on the studies
carried out by the Working Groups and the detailed discussions
held by them, a report on Standard parameters of 800KV
transmission system in India had been brought out by CEA in
September, 1990. This report has been circulated to all the
Electricity Boards and Power Utilities etc. for their guidance
and adoption of recommended parameters.
