NEW DELHI: Keeping up the information technology (IT) momentum in the power sector, the Union Power Ministry and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) are joining hands to help power-related public sector units (PSUs) imbibe IT into thinking, research, planning and management and create common technology products and solutions.
The Power Ministry had already asked Infosys Technologies to prepare a detailed design of new generation smart and green grids network using IT. The new initiative has come at the instance of the Minister of State for Power, Jairam Ramesh, who had detailed discussions with TCS chief, S. Ramadorai, on this issue last week.
Mr. Jairam Ramesh said that Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL), will join hands with Computational Research Laboratory (CRL), set up by TCS in Pune, for research and development of new generation turbines and other power plant equipment. The Minister said that TCS would also work with National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) to develop India’s second power trading exchange. TCS will also revive memorandum of understanding (MoU) with NTPC to provide IT-based consultancy. In addition, TCS and Power Grid Corporation of India (PGCIL) will jointly establish laboratory in IIT, Mumbai, to develop simulation and forecasting models for real time network management and for developing power system network analysis application services over the web. Similarly, it will explore with Central Electricity Authority (CEA) initiatives on clean carbon and heat rate optimism. Mr. Jairam Ramesh said TCS would also explore partnership with the joint Damodar Valley Corporation-IIT, Kharagpur Power Research and Development Centre being established in Kolkata.
It would also explore with Power Finance Corporation IT-based initiatives as part of PFC financing of projects.-Hindu
