thermal power development - Infraline

Central electricity authority Annual Report 2009-10
were discussed. Some of the important decisions
taken in the meeting are as under:
1) The Central PTCC decided that the private
parties who intend to erect EHT power lines
of voltage level 220 kV and above should
submit their PTCC route approval proposals
directly to CEA. For power lines of 132 kV
and below, the PTCC route proposals
should be submitted to member power state
transmission utility / central power utility/
SLPTCC of the concerned State.
2) The PTCC Manual was finalized by the
sub-committee formed for revision of PTCC
Manual. The draft of the PTCC Manual
was placed before the Central PTCC in the
90 th Central PTCC Meeting for acceptance.
The PTCC Manual was finalized after
incorporating minor changes.
3) On the request from Director (Telecom),
Railway Board, a five day refresher training
course on PTCC was conducted by CEA
officers in the month of June 2009. Thirty
five officers from all the 17 zones of the
railways attended the refresher course.
The training was conducted at IRISET,
Secunderabad.
During 2009-10, 140 new cases of EHT
power lines (220 kV and above) were received
for processing of PTCC route approval. A bar
chart indicating the number of cases received for
PTCC route approval during the last five years is
given below:
During 2009-10, CEA has sent Induced
Voltage (IV) comments for 110 cases to
DEs (T), PTCC, BSNL for issuing necessary
PTCC route approvals. About 3200 ckms of
220 kV lines, about 5450 ckms of 400 kV
lines and 1800 ckms of ± 500 kV HVDC lines
were accorded PTCC clearance to enable
Power Utilities to commission their lines on
schedule.
A bar chart indicating the Circuit
kilometers of 220kV, 400kV, 765 kV and
± 500 kV HVDC transmission lines for which
PTCC route approval was accorded during the
last five years is given below:
