NTDC improves power supply in south region

LAHORE: The National Transmission and Despatch Company Limited (NTDC) has installed a shunt reactor on 500kv Guddu-Rahim Yar Khan transmission line to enhance power system stability.

The shunt reactor was installed on Bay-02 of Guddu-RYK transmission line and after all testing was energized successfully. The NTDC is vigorously working on stability of the power transmission system, especially in the south region.

The newly-installed shunt reactor will help control power system voltage more efficiently and enhance the overall power system stability of the NTDC network.

Energization of the shunt reactor will not only improve the voltage profile of the system in the region but also enhance the operational performance of the system.

It will also help improve voltage profile of 500kv Guddu-Rahim Yar Khan, 500kv Guddu-Muzaffargarh transmission lines and the power evacuated from 747mw Guddu power station. NTDC Managing Director Dr Rana Abdul Jabbar Khan has appreciated the efforts of Project Delivery (South) teams on completion of the project.
