As per the key statistics data of IEA With electricity consumption reached to 1,164 TWh in the country till November 2019, India ranked third among the top ten electricity consuming countries across the globe.
The methods often employed in practice to improve system stability are: 1. Increasing System Voltage 2. Reduction in Transfer Reactance 3. Using High Speed Circuit Breaker 4. Automatic Reclosing 5. Transient Stability 6. Turbine Fast Valving 7. Application of Braking Resistors 8. Single Pole Switching:
The electrostatic stress in a cable is not uniformly distributed. The potential gradient is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the cable. Hence, it will be maximum (gmax) at the surface of the conductor and goes on decreasing until it becomes minimum (gmin) at the surface of the sheath. That means electrostatic stress in the dielectric of a cable is maximum at the surface of the conductor and minimum at the surface of the sheath.
