While some are undertaken in collaboration with industries & utilities, others are taken up in-house to develop the

expertise and infrastructure to serve the power sector. The project proposals are planned well in advance

keeping in mind the needs of the industry / utilities and are cleared by the Committee on Research. The project

monitoring committee was constituted for the purpose of periodical review of the progress and to suggest measures

for timely completion of the projects as per the project implementation plan.

During the year under report 5 projects with total outlay of Rs. 171 lakhs were investigated. Among the projects

investigated 4 projects have been completed during the year. Nine new projects were sanctioned with a total outlay

of Rs.161.50 lakhs. The list of ongoing and completed projects is enclosed at Appendix-VI.

Some of the completed projects have resulted in development of products and processes and the end results are

directly available for commercialization, thus benefiting the power industry. List of developments are given below:

1. Development of polymer nano composite for electrical Devices

The objective of the project was to develop polymer-nanocomposites with high dielectric properties for making

polymer components in power system devices interacting with Industries, to establish the relationship between

structure/morphology and electrical properties of polymer-nanocomposites and to equip the polymer-laboratory

facility for undertaking enhanced consultancy and testing services.

Achievements:

Useful data were generated on the curing and glass transition behaviour of polymer nanocomposites based on

epoxy resin matrix. Pultruded fiberglass reinforced epoxy nano composites were made, with the help of Industries,

useful as centre rod for High voltage Insulators. The “International conference on Polymeric Materials in Power

Engineering”, CPRI, October 4-6, 2007, was conducted to interact with experts, discuss the results of the above

work and explore for other topic of emergence in future. The paper entitled, “Characterisation of Epoxy

Nanocomposites in Thermo Mechanical Analyser By Cyclic Run- Rerun Method”, has been presented in this

International conference. The study has a potential scope for giving technology transfer or know-how support for

preparing epoxy composites incorporating nanofillers in electrical and other process industries.

2. Evaluation of shunt reactor current switching capability of Medium Voltage vacuum circuit breaker

IEC Report 1233 requires carrying out tests to establish the capability of circuit breakers to switch shunt reactor

currents. Tests are required to be carried out at currents of 500 A and 1200 A. While switching these currents

overvoltages are generated. It is to be verified if the circuit breakers are designed to withstand these overvoltages.

There has been request from clients to carry out these tests. At present there is no facility at CPRI to carry out

these tests.


1212

Achievements:

Switching tests conducted on the 36 kV circuit breaker with the reactors procured for the purpose. The facility

created can cater to shunt reactor current switching tests on 36 kV circuit breakers for current of 1600 A, 3

phase & 500 A, 1 phase and 12 kV circuit breaker for current of 500 A 3-phase. Based on the experience

gained in this study, new facility is being created for conducting shunt reactor current switching tests on circuit

breakers of class 66kV upto 245 kV . Procurement of the reactor loads is in progress and the facility is

scheduled to be operational from Feb 2010.

3. Study on enhancement of capability of conducting capacitor current switching tests on 245 kV Cir-

cuit breaker from Voltage factor of 1.2 to 1.4

The test facility at High Power Lab was designed in the year 1980 for conducting short circuit tests & switch-

ing tests on circuit breakers and other power apparatus. Facility was provided for conducting capacitor current

switching tests on 245 kV circuit breakers with voltage factor of 1.2. In the present programme it is aimed to

study the feasibility and quantify the gaps and assessing the precise requirements for enhancing the facility

upto voltage factor of 1.4.

Achievements:

Capacitor current Switching tests was conducted on the 245 kV circuit breaker . The results of the test indicated

that the variation of the supply voltage was around 10 % ,as against maximum variation of 5% as permitted by

IEC-62271-100 ,which puts the test circuit breaker under higher stress . It was concluded that it was not possible

to conduct capacitor current switching tests using the direct test method. The direct test method can cater to

circuit breakers upto 145 kV class. In the light of this other methods were explored. As a further work it is

planned to establish af Synthetic capacitor current switching test facility. On establishment of this facility, we will

be in a position to conduct capacitor current switching tests upto to 245 kV circuit breakers. This facility will be

operational from June 2010.

The feasibility of the developed Functional Link Network (FLN), scheme has been tested through computer

simulation studies on different balanced distribution systems of various sizes and on one three phase unbal-

anced radial power distribution system. The applicability of both the functional and tensor model of FLN has

been investigated. the developed technique has a potential for providing reasonably accurate on-line estima-

tion of loads with significantly reduced cost.

2. Design & development of a 5 kVA, 3 phase, 415V v/f inverter for AC rail coaches.

N ATIONAL PERSPECTIVE PLAN FOR R&D IN POWER SECTO R

National Perspective Plan Projects

The National Perspective Plan report was brought out n the year 2001 by the Ministry of Power to identify major

areas of research & development, funding requirement in the power sector up to 2012 and beyond. Subsequently,

several research organizations were pooled together and many R&D projects were formulated & approved for

implementation. Currently, 5 major projects mentioned below with a total out lay of Rs. 11.5 crores out of which

MoP contribution is Rs.5.67 Crores are in various stages of progress at Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd, CDAC-

Trivendrum, EMCO, National Matelorgical Laboratory, CPRI & Electrical Research & Development Agency.

1. Development of Silt Erosion Resistant Material for Turbines of Hydro generators (NML – Jamshedpur)

Progress

Samples of under water parts from Salal and NJHPS were received and laboratory evaluation is in progress.

Erosion set-up is made as per ASTM G-32 and Characterization of two samples were made. The activities

concerning (i) Various heat treatment parameters on two samples are under way to optimize erosive wear

property (ii) Slurry erosive wear studies for benchmarking of 13Cr-4Ni steel has been completed with the set-

up of IIT-Roorkee. Flow Modelling through CFD analysis has been initiated.

2. To develop a prototype of 132kV Optical Current Transformer for use in the 132kV system (Electrical

Research & Development Agency, Vadodara)

Objective

The objective of the project is to develop optical current transformer using optical fiber as a sensor medium. It

is a new attempt to develop an optical transformer using Faraday Effect. If an optical fibre carrying a polarized

laser beam is wound over the conductor, then there will be a change in the polarizing angle due to the

presence of the parallel magnetic field. By measuring the change in the angle, the current passing through the

conductor can be obtained. The project is based on this principle.

Progress

The experiments were extended using optical fiber as a sensor instead of a quartz crystal. The results of

Optical Current Transformer with half cycle current & half second current are obtained, thus the principle of the

OCT based on Faraday effect is proved. Half second reading is more reliable. Signal conditioning to convert

detector signal into equivalent current signal is in progress. Results of Optical CT and that of Conventional CT

were compared and agreement between the two was observed to be very good.

Other activities carried out are :

• Application of the polarization principle in the filed of power system is well known, and for better understanding

the principle in presence of magnetic filed number of experiments has been conducted.

• Studies concerning to various optical components, methodologies required is completed.

• Demonstration of the Faraday principle using quartz rod and laser source is completed.

Initial experiments carried out with the laser source and detector and the results are encouraging.

of the network and poor voltage regulation etc. The proposed STATCOM will have special power circuit con-

figurations and control functions for compensation in the unbalanced conditions as well as harmonic compen-

sation.

Progress

I am extremely happy to present the notable achievements of Central Power Research

Institute for the year 2008-09:

Testing & Certification and Consultancy have observed notable increment wherein 23383

samples were tested with 60060 tests performed as against 20242 samples and 49922 tests

performed during the year 2007-08. This has resulted in reaching a record revenue of Rs.77.41

crores during 2008-09 as compared to Rs.52.16 crores during 2007-08. The officers and staff

of CPRI are to be complimented for their sincere efforts in achieving the set target. The

Institute has rendered 76 valued consultancy services to Power Utilities & Industry.

Most of the CPRI laboratories have been accredited and reassessed as per NABL 17025 norms, during the year

to help clientele in export of their equipment overseas. CPRI added its credentials with Accreditations from ASTA,

Intertek Asta and ISO 9001:2000 Certification. Some of the Officers of the Institute have also been appointed as

ASTA Observers for witnessing tests under ASTA Certification Scheme. CPRI is continued to be the Member of

Short Circuit Testing Liaison (STL).

On the Research front, 4 projects were successfully completed during the year. viz. (A) Development of polymer

nano composite for electrical Device (B) Evaluation of shunt reactor current switching capability of MV vacuum

circuit breaker (C) Study on enhancement of capability of conducting capacitor current switching tests on 245 kV

circuit breaker from voltage factor of 1.2 to 1.4 (D) Building up Research Infrastructure projects.

CPRI had established Centre for Collaborative & Advanced Research in the year 2006 and during the year, CPRI

entered into MoUs with 6 Institutes of technology to carry out research in the areas relevant to power system and

also to conduct short term course for Power Utilities of the country. Scientists and Engineers of the Institute

have published 88 technical papers for various National & International forums.

During the year six capital schemes were completed as scheduled. The important amongst them are:

i) National/International accreditation for CPRI laboratories ii) Rotor System with exciter for the motor of 2500

M VA short circuit generator of C.P.R.I., Bangalore iii) Augmentation & Modernization of CPRI Laboratories iv)

Relocation of Regional Testing Laboratory, RTL Muradnagar, U.P. to Noida v) Development of a Centre of Excellence

for simulation of power system and failure analysis vi) Refurbishment of 1500 MVA Short Circuit Generator

The Institute is also rendering Consultancy to the Electricity Regulatory Commission in estimation of losses in

Distribution to enable them to finalize tariff structure. CPRI successfully completed the consultancy project

regarding “Augmentation of Power System Network” for SAIL – Rourkela Steel Plant, Rourkela.

The CPRI has also been functioning as Third Party Inspection Agency (TPIA) in three tier Monitoring of RGGVY

programme for Idukki District in Kerala, Chamrajnagar , Kodagu, Mysore, Mandya and Hassan Districts in

Chamundeswari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) , Gulbarga District in Gulbarga Electricity. Supply Corporation
