The government on Friday said 17 islanding schemes for power supply are being planned in addition to 26 such existing and under-implementation projects. The islanding scheme is a defense mechanism for the power system, in which a part of the system is separated from a disturbed grid so that this sub-part could survive in isolation from the rest of the grid and continuity of supply to the essential load in this area is maintained.
“As informed by the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), 17 new islanding schemes have been planned for the major cities besides already 26 existing/ under-implementation schemes,” the ministry said in a statement.
The CEA further said they have advised all state load dispatch centres (SLDCs) to set up a separate display of islanding scheme on the supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) for real-time monitoring of participating generators and critical load.
