*connectedthinking

PwC

Foreword
The Ministry of Power, Government of India has envisaged a capacity addition of 78,577 MW and 86,500 MW in the 11th and 12th Plan period respectively. A corresponding plan for new investment and R&M is also conceived for the Transmission and Distribution segments in line with the National Electricity Plan and the Integrated Energy Policy. This accelerated pace of capacity addition is expected to create a significant demand for electrical equipments and services in the years to come. IEEMA has engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) to conduct a study on the demand for electrical equipments in the various segments of the power sector viz Generation, Transmission & Distribution and power intensive industries over the period 2008-2017. PwC has conducted this study across central sector entities and selected state utilities assessing their capital expenditure/ capacity addition plans in the next 5 10 years. Interactions were held with 25 power intensive industries to understand their requirement of electrical equipment. The study also covers segregation of demand for T&D equipments across Greenfield (i.e. Capacity expansion related requirement) & R&M requirements (Revamping & Modernization which includes all replacement requirements). We were guided by respective division chairmen of IEEMA for each product category covered under the scope of this study. We are thankful to the following personnel/ organizations for sparing time out for this study and providing us with their valuable inputs.

T&D PROJECTS Present Scenario
Indian Transmission and Distribution industry has witnessed a strong all round revival in the last couple of years, with growth rate averaging over 15% per annum after having been through a severe slump for over a decade. Poor financial health of SEBs and reduced orders from POWERGRID, the key customers of the T&D sectors, had affected the companies negatively. The industry derived its growth mainly from Transmission line projects, Rural electrification projects, and projects under the APDRP scheme in the recent past. Post Financial Year 2003 the industry witnessed robust growth. The major factor that has contributed to the revival of T&D sector has been the Electricity Act, 2003 and the resultant power sector reforms that led to unbundling of the SEBs and corporatisation of the T&D sectors. The sustained focus of the government on these new enterprises to be commercially viable, has led to the implementation of practices for reducing AT&C losses and effect better grid management for billing and collection of dues. The Government of India has embarked upon an ambitious mission of POWER FOR ALL BY 2012. This mission would require that our installed generation capacity should be enhanced by an additional 100,000 MW by 2012 from the present level of 127,000 MW. A Perspective Transmission Plan has been drawn up indicating the major inter-regional transmission highways to be developed by 2011-12. This will ultimately lead to the formation of a strong National Grid. These highways are proposed to be established in phases matching with the requirement of inter-regional power transfer. The enhancement of inter regional capacity to 37,000 MW by 2012 would require adding of over 60,000 ckt kms of transmission network. The Government is planning large transmission projects on the lines of the Ultra mega power projects, and 14 projects have been announced which would be set up on BOO (build, own, operate) basis. Rural electrification projects, under Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana, form a substantial chunk of order book backlog for T&D companies. APDRP scheme, launched in FY01 to contain loses of SEBs, is under revamping, and substantial business is expected in the near future from APDRP projects.

Transformer Industry Present Scenario
There are around eighty to ninety Transformer manufacturers in organized sector and few hundred more in SSI sector primarily catering to local demand of small distribution transformers. The organized sector manufacturers supply Power and distribution transformers. The industry is growing at an average rate of around 20% (In quantity terms). Historically it has been noted that majority of the orders for transformers have come from the SEBs. This is expected to continue going forward as SEBs act as nodal points for execution of governments mission of "Power for all by 2012". SEBs have in the past accounted for 60-70% of the total transformer demand, followed by industrial (15-20%) and export demand (10-15%). Private sector demand from various industries primarily includes viz steel, aluminium, cement, oil and gas, automobiles, engineering, mining and minerals, paper pulp, chemical and petrochemicals etc. The leading players in the industry have technical tie-ups with global players and are using various modern techniques of production. The design capabilities in the country are comparable to the global standards. Availability of skilled work force makes India a preferred destination for power transformers sourcing. The Indian multinational has arrived in this industry segment. One of the Indian manufacturers has recently taken over a couple of European manufacturing units and is tapping developed markets. Although, domestic players have been able to face threat from imports in the past, especially from China. Certain big players in China may venture into India to take advantage of high demand. At present the Chinese players are catering to their internal demand, which if exhausted over the next 2-3 years could result in shifting of focus to India. With huge demand growth expected to come over the next five years and fair operating margins being a characteristic of the industry, there are chances that some of the other foreign players may also enter the Indian market in future. Major issues and Concerns are: Dependence on government plans & funds Dependence on imported CRGO which is about 28-30% of net sales Rising raw material prices - CRGO and Copper High debtor days in government projects Threat of imports of cheaper variants from China Inadequate testing facilities in the country Lack of supporting infrastructure

Switchgear And Control gear Present Scenario
Switchgear and Controlgear industry in India is producing, supplying and exporting a wide variety of switchgear and Controlgear items needed by the power sector and other industries. This industry segment caters to the entire voltage range from 240 V to 800 KV. The technology prevailing in the country for switchgear and switchboards is generally contemporary. The industry has tried to reduce the adverse impact of internal factors by cost cutting, improving productivity and updating technology. The industry is competitive in the field of design and engineering, as the skill sets available in the country are relatively less expensive. The Made in India brand has begun to gain more currency / trust in the global markets in this segment. It is estimated that the present size of the switchgear market, not including domestic switches, is around Rs 6750 crores and the total industry grew by 19.5 % in volume terms in 2006-07. The growth in demand has been supported by the developments in infrastructure and building industry and also growth in export market. The LV switchgear industry has grown by more than 25%, due to sustained demand from the all sectors. The LV sector demand growth is expected to sustain for some time to come. Medium voltage switchgear industry has registered a growth of 15 %. The MV switchgear segment has reported order books of about 6 months. The demand growth for MV switchgear is expected to sustain for at least next three to five years. The numbers of players have increased substantially in this segment. High Voltage (HV) and Extra High Voltage (EHV) segment has shown a growth of about 10 % in 2006-07. Industry experts are of the opinion that the growth will continue for the next few years and the industry is geared up for augmenting their capacities at short notice in order to meet this increased demand. Major Issues and Concerns: Unprecedented increase in Raw Material Prices like copper, Aluminum, globally has pushed the prices upward. One sided contracts by the user industries Lack of adequate HV & EHV switchgear testing facilities Low investments in R&D Integration /Assimilation of new technologies into development of new products in the sector needs improvement

Distribution Level SCADA
SCADA is an important tool for load management. In number of state headquarters, SCADA has been introduced (Hyderabad in AP, NDPL supply area in Delhi, Vadodara in Gujarat, BEST & REL in Mumbai, Chennai in TN, Jaipur in Rajasthan, Trivandrum in Kerala). Hyderabad city is now fully controlled through SCADA system. SCADA also helps in fault localization, facility management and trouble call management. The cost of introduction of SCADA in Hyderabad is estimated Rs. 40 crores which has a population of 36.37 lakhs as per 2001 census. The 11th Plan targets that all the million plus cities (27) should be covered under SCADA. Using the fund requirement in Hyderabad, the working group on power has estimated the total fund requirement for SCADA in the million plus cities to be around Rs.1000 crores. Taking achievements similar to Sub-transmission MVAs, the anticipated investment is estimated as in the adjacent table.

Gas Insulated Sub-stations
The task force constituted by Ministry of Power, Govt. of India under chairmanship of Member (Power Systems) ,CEA in 2005 has recommended that In order to reduce problems of land acquisition and related R&R, efforts should be made to reduce substation land requirement by evolving & adopting compact layouts, compact switchgear & GIS substations. During deliberations, it emerged that GIS substation price have come down considerably in the recent times. Therefore, in the urban areas, GIS substations should be considered as a viable option. The number of GIS installations has increased manifolds from just 20 25 in 2001-02. However, due to lack of past data and detailed project wise plans for the country as a whole it is difficult to ascertain the demand for GIS bays. The various interactions held with central & states level institutions has reinforced that the usage/ demand for Gas Insulated Substations has huge potential provided the costs for such products are reduced. It is expected that with the entry of BHEL and recent reductions in the cost of manufacturing of GIS equipments the demand shall witness high growth rates similar to the HV & EHV cables product category. Indicators of Demand for GIS Bays
Entity Hydro Power Plants Findings 220/ 400 KV GIS bay requirement for the 11th plan has been projected at 134 & for 12th Plan at 234. The total requirement in the next 10 years is 368 GIS bays. The requirement of GIS bays of 220/400 KV level from PGCIL projects as per available information is estimated between 7 8% (8 10 sub-stations) as per the number of Substations planned. Delhi: 4 out of 15 Sub-Stations planned are on GIS base in the 11th Plan period. Mumbai: 15 -20 GIS based sub-stations are expected in Mumbai & adjoining areas in the 11th Plan period. Rajasthan: 3 GIS based hybrid sub-stations are planned in the 11th Plan period in Jaipur. Uttar Pradesh: 4 at 400 KV & 8 Substations at 220 KV level have been planned on GIS in the 11th plan period West Bengal: WBSETCL has planned to introduce GIS S/S in urban areas in 11th Plan.

Instrument Transformers Present Scenario
Current transformers and voltage transformers of various rating including 400 KV, for indoor and outdoor applications are being manufactured in India. The Instrument Transformer Industry has registered substantial growth in the last year. The estimated value of instrument transformer industry is about 700 crores; comprising 500 crores for CT and 200 crores for PT. The demand for current transformers (CT) and potential transformers (PT) in voltage range upto 33KV has registered remarkable growth. This has mainly been fuelled by the numerous projects under the APDRP scheme. Though orders book position is satisfactory, price margins for CT/PT have been found to be very low due to existence of a large number of players and also new entrants in this voltage range. The hike in prices of steel, oil, porcelain, and copper has made the situation difficult, especially for the orders with fixed prices. CT/PTs above 400 KV have also registered good demand whereas in voltage range from 132KV to 220KV are the growth has been comparatively lower. Industry experts have reported that the existing production capacity is not being fully utilized. As per the present statistics production for current transformers has increased by about 35% whereas voltage transformers has shown an increase of about 7%. The major buyers of CT/ PTs are mostly SEBs and Public Utilities. New buyers of CT/ PTs in the form of Project Houses who are executing Turnkey Power Projects on behalf of SEBs / Utilities. The practices of closed tendering and post-tender negotiation by SEBs, Govt. agencies has had its negative impact on the industry as a whole. Stringent technical parameters during the initial enquiry stage and further changes in the parameters at post tender stage has added complications to a number of transactions. Apart from this, certain manufacturers have also faced difficulties due to demands for hefty amounts for enlisting as a registered supplier. Looking at the international market, Indian manufacturers are competent to provide quality product. Indian products have been supplied to the markets in South American countries like Brazil, Vietnam etc., African countries like Kenya, Libya, Asian countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka. etc. In addition to these, substantial export orders for 66/132/220 KV CTs from Syria, Iran, Iraq have also been reported. Despite of heavy competition, Indian manufacturers have been able to establish themselves in the International markets. Certain overseas customers do not accept CPRI testing certificates, this results into additional financial burden to Indian manufacturers.

Capacitor Industry Present Scenario
In India, there are about 10 large manufacturers in the HT power capacitor segment whereas in the LT power Capacitor sector the it is more than 50. The estimated turn over of the total power capacitor industry is Rs. 500 cr. The turnover of other type of capacitors is estimated around Rs. 250 Cr. Though the Indian Capacitor Industry is very small in comparison to the global market its acceptability and presence in certain foreign markets has strengthened in the recent past. A significant content of the supplies in India are being made to state electricity boards, DISCOMS and utilities. The policies and practices in the power sector utilities are undergoing changes in view of the demand of quality power from consumers and new regulatory requirements which are acting positively for the Capacitor industry, however the pace of these changes is still not very satisfactory. New opportunities continue to emerge in the transmission segment for the HT Capacitor industry due to the strong push given to HVDC projects and Series Compensation systems. As per IEEMA statistics, the production for the HT power capacitors has decreased by about 12% whereas production for LT capacitors has gone up by around 18% in 2006-07. The LT Capacitor market is estimated around 10,250 MVAR and is expected to grow further. Electricity Boards and utilities are encouraging the installation of such capacitors by the industrial & commercial consumers through a combination of stiff penalties and significant incentives in the electricity tariff structure. The order book position for majority manufacturers is good. With increased indigenous manufacturing capacity coupled with growth in imports, pricing is once again expected to come under pressure. With the existing huge installed base within the country and additional competition from the foreign suppliers the price realization for LT power capacitors has seen some downslide. Globally, the capacitor industry is undergoing fairly deep changes due to relocation of manufacturing facilities from high cost countries to the developing countries. This is creating new challenges for the Indian Capacitor Industry, which will now have to face a real time threat of ensuring global competitiveness in place of being competitive in the Indian context. Some of the major issues before the Industry include: Human Resource availability Globally competitive pricing Volatility in input costs Competition between capacitor technologies Volumetric delivery capability.

Cable Industry Present Scenario
Power cables The Indian cable industry is manufacturing cables up to 220kV. Indian cable manufacturers from the organized sector have by and large tried to be in line with the latest technologies to keep pace with the rapidly changing market condition and maintain quality standards to meet the international requirements. There are few manufacturers who currently manufacture cables up to 220kV grade whereas a larger number of manufacturers are in medium voltage range up to 33kV, besides LV cables. With the substantial rise in demand for last few years some of the manufacturers are adding capacities. In year 2006-07, the production of LV PVC & XLPE cables was about 1,50,000 kms whereas for HV & EHV PVC & XLPE power cables (above 3.3 & KV), the production was about 16,500 Kms. The industry size for power cables is about Rs 7,500 Cr. Demand for power cable has shown the increase of about 33% over the previous year (2005-06). The growth in value terms is almost 86% mainly because of global price rise for copper and aluminium. Control Cables Control cables segment comprise of wires and cables used by control and instrumentation Industry, panel Manufacturers, automobile industry etc. Majority of these cables is manufactured by SSI sector. This sector produced about 1,50,000 kms of Cable the value of which would be about Rs 2,500 cr. Apart from meeting the domestic demand, Indian Cable manufacturers are also exporting the cables to Middle East, Far East, South African countries, and South American countries. At the same time, cables of higher voltage above 220kV are being imported. The total import of power & control cable has been Rs.200 Cr. during the year 2006-07. Out of this, the import of EHV and HV cables was about Rs.125 Cr. and was mainly from China, Thailand and Korea whereas the import of LV cables, which was imported mainly from Sri Lanka, Turkey, was about Rs.75 Cr. The export for LV, HV & EHV Cables as well as control cables during 2005-06 was about Rs.115 crores. Issues and Concerns Rising prices of copper and aluminium globally Cable manufacturers are spread across the country. Some state level incentives create uneven field for manufacturers out side the state.

Lightning Arrestors Present Scenario
There has been a little over 3 % growth during the year 200607. LT LAs up to 433 V have registered a growth of 109%, Class I/II up to 30 KV 25%, Class I/II 31 KV to 72 KV 35%, Class II/III 62% and Class III / IV 217 KV & above 7%. Exports have nearly tripled. All these positives are camouflaged by the 6% drop in distribution level LAs up to 30 KV which though small in rating and value, accounts for over 80% of the market by number. Capacity in the industry is still significantly more than demand impacting realisation. There has been shift in buying pattern in the recent past. Sales through EPC contractors account for 60 to 65% of the business with direct procurement by the utilities making up the rest. Enquiries from EPC contractors are piecemeal as against bulk orders from Utilities earlier. Consequently for the same business, number of tenders and hence follow up and order servicing cost have increased. In Distribution class unorganized sector has taken over a higher share. Also, certain EPC Contractors are setting up their own manufacturing facilities, particularly in the 11 KV range, so also are Transformer manufacturers. These trends are further eroding share of organized Surge Arrester industry. In Distribution class market access is deteriorating while in the HV segment it is improving. Raw material prices have been volatile while majority of the Utilities and other buyers insist on fixed prices. With the Insulator industry giving preference to solid core insulators for bus support and isolators, hollow insulators for arresters is at a premium. Utilities are increasingly switching over to Polymer housed Arresters.

Energy Meters Present Scenario
The Indian Energy Meters industry is in existence since 1950. Initially, few companies were licensed to manufacture energy meters with total capacity of about 6 lacs meters per annum. Today, there are around thirty companies manufacturing almost 15 million energy meters. Indian Electricity Act, 2003 provided much-needed legal support to implement reforms in the power sector. 100% metering of power supply connections insisted by many state regulatory commissions and also support by Ministry of power through various reform programmes has provided the impetus to meters demand during last few years. Thus the overall environment for metering industry as far as demand is concerned, has been very conducive. With the advent of static meters, energy meter industry in India changed dramatically in last 4-5 years. The Central Electricity Authority has recently issued a guidelines which have mandated the use of static meters. The Indian Energy meter market in next 2/3 years will definitely shift to Static Meters though Conventional Electromagnetic Meters do have some market shares even as on date. Out of the total market of around 15 Million energy meters, the share of Conventional Electromagnetic meters is about 15%.
Picture Source :http://securemeters.com

The demand for meters is expected to remain good for next 4-5 years. A large flow of enquiries with short delivery time has been observed from various electricity Boards. Although the prospects of the meter industry are improving, the basic underlying problems have not really changed and some of them are actually found to be on the rise. Varying tender specifications, decreasing prices, practically no consideration for quality in the procurement procedures, etc. continue to bother good quality manufacturers.

MAJOR TECHNOLOGY TRENDS


The increase in demand for power brings with it multifarious challenges of setting up new systems and replacing/ upgrading the old systems, which are better placed in terms of cost, operational efficiency, size and environmental safety. The more we add capacity and the more we integrate our transmission and distribution systems, the more are the needs for the systems to improve grid control, system stability, power quality, equipment efficiency and reduced environmental hazards. This creates a huge gap and requirement to develop and establish new technologies. World over leading organizations are working on developing new technologies which are under various stages of development and testing. Developed nations like US have envisioned path breaking changes in the next few decades which will change the face of power transmission and distribution across the globe. The primary focus of research and development is in the areas of advanced materials with high current carrying and storage capacities, designing better data acquisition, modeling and control systems & advanced power electronics. R&D of new technologies has been put as a priority focus area in the 11th & 12th Plan. POWERGRID being the pioneer utility in Power Transmission in India has been the leader in implementing new/ advanced technologies. We envisage that in the next decade, the technology trends would be more towards improving efficiency, reliability, capacity and environment friendliness of the equipments and system.

Limitations of the Study


The accuracy of the calculated CAGR required in supply over the next 5/ 10 year timeframe depends on the authenticity of the Industry data (IEEMA + Non-IEEMA) provided by IEEMA. It also depends on the share of the power sector that has been assumed in the overall sales against each product category. The CAGR required in supply only corresponds to the equipments demand w.r.t. the power sector and not the entire market for the product as a whole. The demand estimation has been done using norms, which gives an indication of the actual equipment requirement as per the capacity addition/ R&M planned. The actual equipment will depend of the detailed project reports (DPR) based on specific requirements, thus the requirement might vary from what is indicated in this report. In the absence of any better information, we have assumed the capacity addition in the 12th plan period i.e. 2012-17 on the basis of the 11th plan for the Power Transmission & Distribution segments. Since the plans made by the Government of India are mostly 5 year plans especially for Power Transmission & Distribution segments, the growth rates arrived at in this study are also corresponding to 5 year periods i.e. the 11th & the 12th Plan periods. The values against different scenarios indicate the requirement of equipments under the envisaged scenarios and not necessarily sales of equipments during the plan period. The assessment of equipment requirement has been done using the country level plan for all the segments i.e. Power Generation, Transmission & Distribution in the absence of detailed plans for each state/ utility. The information collected from various entities was found inappropriate for assessment of country level demand of T&D equipments, however whatever data that was collected from these entities were aggregated to vet the appropriateness of the country level plan. The complete details regarding requirement of SCADA & GIS systems by various utilities and also the past production/ sales by manufacturers is not available.

The DOCT, Digital Optical Current Transformer consists of a transducer in the primary circuit connected by an optical fibre to the interface unit in the control room. In the transducer, the current value is measured with a magnetic current transformer, a shunt or a Rogowski coil. After sampling and conversion into digital form by the DOIT electronics, the current value is transmitted as an optical signal in the fibre to the interface in the control room. Power to supply the DOIT electronics is simultaneously transmitted as laser light from the interface to the transducer, using the same or a separate optical fibre. Key features of new technology-DOIT

Trends Recent trends in Power Transformers focus on reduction in transformer no load and full load losses in consideration with environment and life time cost. Two new products have been recently launched: Powerformer, a new generator that can be directly connected to the transmission network and an oil free power transformer, Dryformer. The Dryformer is an innovative high-voltage transformer design that eliminates the need for oil by using high-voltage crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) instead of oil/paper in the construction of the transformer windings. The new concept is the result of the marriage of high voltage cable technology and transformer technology. Key features of new technology

Trends The Powerformer combine the functions of a conventional generator and a step-up transformer. Thus it is a high voltage generator which can be connected directly to the power network without the need of a step-up transformer. The novelty of the new generator concept is the use of proven power cable as stator winding. Although Powerformer is not a transformer, it does away with the necessity for a generator transformer. The conventional generator design is based on rectangular armature slots and conductor bars and the maximum output voltage is limited to the order of 25-30 kV but is usually fixed at around 13.8 kV. In contrast, the Powerformer operates at a relatively high voltage and low current. The new generator has armature windings with a cylindrical cross-section based on proven solid dielectric power cables, like in the Dryformer. Key features of new technology

Trends Conventional power transformers have copper coil and iron core. With change in voltage heat dissipation takes place in the form of I2R losses. Along with this load loss there is also no load loss in the core of power transformers. Superconducting power transformers uses HTS materials such as BSCCO (Bismuth-Strontium-Calcium-Copper-Oxide) for coils and some transformer design come with features with no core at all. HTS materials have a unique property that they transmit power with absolutely no resistance at some particular temperature. This way superconducting transformers have almost no losses.

Trends Initial cost of Gas insulated switchgear as compared to Air insulated switchgear is more however high operational efficiency makes it better choice for HV. The advantages of GIS technology over AIS technology are mainly that it offers greater compactness, and insensitivity to pollution, in particular at the busbars. In addition, in order to clean the insulators of a GIS substation, it is generally necessary merely to isolate each bay in turn, whereas in order to clean the insulators of the busbars of an AIS substation, it is necessary to isolate all of the busbars. Key features of new technology A hybrid substation consists in progressively replacing GIStechnology equipment with AIS-technology equipment of equivalent function, starting from the equipment situated in the vicinity of an overhead feeder and going towards the busbars. The optimum configuration that satisfies the above-mentioned objectives consists firstly in equipping the substation with metal-clad (GIS) busbars and disconnectors, and secondly in using conventional AIS technology for the remainder of the equipment.

China is currently planning to build one 800 kV DC line per year over the next ten years, with a capacity of between 5 000 and 6 400 MW per line. India plans to expand hydro power in the northeastern part of the country. As in China, the demand for power is far away from the resources, so also in India the power will have to be transmitted as far as 2000 km (up to 1 200 miles). India is currently planning to build one 800 kV DC line every two years over the next ten years, with a capacity of 6 000 MW per line.

Trends Test on single phase 50 HZ l1/0.23kV pole mount distribution transformers with amorphous core and liquid nitrogen filled in transformer tanks shows reduction in losses then using silicon steel with conventional transformer oil. A number of effects have been observed with respect to temperature and the losses associated with the transformers. Liquid nitrogen temperature essentially has no effect on core losses. This is an important result which may indicate that the reduced core material resistivity is balanced by the reduced depth of current penetration. This means that full immersion liquid nitrogen techniques can be considered in power transformer design. Key features of new technology

Significant reductions in transformer losses can be made if silicon steel is replaced by amorphous steel. The saving in standing losses may pay off the extra 20% capital cost of the transformer.
