New Delhi: In a pioneering step toward sustainable energy infrastructure, the Chairman and Managing Director of Power Finance Corporation (PFC) has inaugurated India’s first energy-efficient Micro Substation with a Power Voltage Transformer (PVT).

This first-of-its-kind initiative has been developed in collaboration with NISSIN Electric (Japan) and Tata Power-Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL), with crucial support from PFC and Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).

Global Collaboration for a Smarter Energy Future
This micro substation project is part of NEDO’s International Demonstration Project on Japan’s Technologies for Decarbonization and Energy Transition. Through this initiative, NEDO and NISSIN Electric aim to promote low-environmental-impact power solutions in countries like India, where grid development varies significantly across regions.

The technology is being demonstrated in a substation on the outskirts of Delhi, operated by Tata Power-DDL, to assess its real-world reliability and performance.

Direct Conversion from EHV to Low Voltage Power
The micro substation, equipped with a Power Voltage Transformer, is capable of directly converting Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission power into low-voltage electricity – a capability that eliminates the need for multiple stages of power transformation.

This innovation not only improves power quality but also aims to establish a stable, efficient, and decentralized power supply system for rural, semi-urban, or grid-deficient regions.

Demonstration Phase Begins
With installation complete, the demonstration phase is now underway. The project will evaluate the long-term reliability, efficiency, and energy loss reduction potential of the micro substation under real distribution conditions. The insights gained will help guide future implementations across other underserved or remote areas in India.

A Model for Decentralized, Green Power Distribution
The project represents a major advancement in India’s ongoing efforts to promote clean, efficient, and inclusive energy infrastructure, aligning with national priorities under the Energy Transition and Decarbonization roadmap.

PFC’s leadership in facilitating this collaboration underlines its role as a catalyst for next-generation energy technologies, while Japan’s involvement through NEDO signifies growing global partnerships in the green energy sector.
