en.Wedoany.com Reported - Toshiba Transmission & Distribution Systems (India) Private Limited (TTDI) announced the successful delivery of its self-developed 132kV mobile gas-insulated switchgear (m-GIS) system to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), marking a new milestone in the company's efforts to strengthen localized grid infrastructure solutions.
This delivery follows TTDI's recent launch of India's first localized 220kV m-GIS system, further expanding its portfolio of mobile high-voltage transmission solutions. These solutions are designed to support grid modernization, enhance operational resilience, and align with the Indian government's "Make in India" initiative.
According to TTDI, the 132kV m-GIS system was developed and manufactured in India leveraging Toshiba's global engineering expertise, advanced technology, and local manufacturing capabilities, while integrating POWERGRID's specific technical, operational, quality, and safety requirements.
Hiroshi Furuta, Chairman and Managing Director of TTDI, stated that this delivery demonstrates the company's commitment to providing innovative and localized engineering solutions that enhance the reliability and operational flexibility of transmission networks.
The mobile GIS system is designed for effective operation under harsh site conditions and adopts a standardized "connect-operate-disconnect-redeploy" configuration, enabling rapid deployment and redeployment across multiple locations. Its compact and modular design allows the system to be transported using standard trailers, making it suitable for emergency response, temporary power supply needs, transmission maintenance activities, and grid restoration efforts.
TTDI noted that the system can withstand transportation stresses and mechanical vibrations while maintaining critical electrical clearances and ensuring seamless integration into operating transmission networks. Its compact footprint also makes it suitable for space-constrained environments and rapidly expanding transmission corridors.
The company stated that the 132kV m-GIS solution can serve a wide range of stakeholders, including transmission utilities, renewable energy developers, disaster response teams, and grid operators requiring fast and flexible mobile power infrastructure.
With the increase in renewable energy installed capacity and growing electricity demand, this delivery supports POWERGRID's efforts to enhance transmission system reliability and strengthen India's evolving power network.
Building on the successful deployment of 220kV and 132kV mobile GIS systems, TTDI revealed that it is currently in the advanced stages of self-developing a 400kV m-GIS system, expected to be delivered later this year.
