Advanced Transmission Network Planning for a High-Growth Power System
World region: South Asia
Sector: Government Agency
Year: 2024-2025
Impact: More efficient planning
Development of a long-term transmission expansion strategy for the State of Haryana using advanced power system modelling and optimization tools.
Pharoes supported the development of a comprehensive transmission network expansion plan for the State of Haryana, one of the fastest-growing electricity systems in India.
Using the CERES power system planning platform, the project evaluated future grid reinforcement needs under multiple demand, generation, and flexibility scenarios. The analysis considered conventional network expansion measures together with modern flexibility solutions such as battery storage, FACTS devices, and demand-side flexibility.
The work included international benchmarking of transmission planning methodologies and detailed simulation of least-cost system expansion pathways.
Key Impact
