Can India have 24/7 uninterrupted power service all year?

Its a very serious issue because not only for our development but in our day to day life we are hugely dependent on power & apart from all odds if proper planning extra efforts towards more generation of thermal power & enough consideration to use of solar power is given gaining 24/7 uninterrupted power is definitely possible.

Actually the Electrical Power started at hundred years back in India first time in Asia continent. Using abundant water resource by construction Dams againast main stream of water.

The deeper dams constucted at elevated area, highrer dams at low laying area, such way that the more water column is required for kinetic enegy. By enhancing the water management we can generate more power.

Any how water and wind are regerated naturally we have to utilised it. Similary wind energy also like that. Both hydal and wind Projects boost the envionment.

So on priority basis we have to handle the huge project in all engineering aspect have to complete it. Once for all as totally called as a System Engineering.

Let us not wait a single day now onward.

Yes India can have 24\7 power service all year especially it is possible in small villages  if there is some will to do it from locals & government.Power can be generated in the village itself by implementing some hydro project which will also be helpful in providing employment to the natives.As the situation is in some villages there is lots of rainfalll but due to lack of systematic collection of water there is drought like situation after monsoon.So by proper planning & implementation it is possible . In case of villages where there is lack of rainfall alternate methods can be used for power generation.But all this is not possible without help of natives  & government.There is lots of wastage due to power thefts if this can be sorted out by devicing measures to detect power theft  &  hefty fine to these theives something can be done. But all these things will take time & proper implementation.AS they say if there is a will there is  a way.

we already have 24/7 uninterrupted LAN/WAN of minds...

We can have 24/7 power supply throughout India if we put in some important measures into our power management system. It can be noticed that we loose a lot of power when our street lights are switched on long before sunset and sometimes even runs through the afternoon. If we replace this manual switching devices by automatic timers which automatically switches on/off at the stipulated time then we can save a lot of energy.  Also we are not using the abundance of natural energy sources available in India such as sunlight, wind and water energy.  We have a lot of dams but there is no proper control on them.  Hence we require proper management of our renewable energy sources.  When it comes to nuclear energy, we have not yet ventured fully into it.  India can acheive 24/7 power supply and this will be possible within a few years as we are growing at a fast scale compared to other nations of the world.

hello shikha,

Now the thing is every one is saying about harnessing renewable technologies for the surplus requirement of energy. But looking at the pace of development it doesnt seem true for atleast next 25 years. You are telling that our T & D losses are also very high and yes its a fact. Alongwith this, there is frequent theft problems, blackouts, approach network to remote places and many more. Then what is the guranttee that this all things will not effect on the energy supply after getting back-up from Renewable energy resources.

So, for now the best option is to first upgrade our existing grid system and convert our grid sytem into smart grid system as soon as possible. Also, the Decentralised generation for remote places can result in better option for providing electricity and not giving extra load on grid system.There are as much as 18000 villages in India which are remote and connecting them with grid system would result in a costly affair. So, these can be provided with Decentralised energy systems using renewable energy sources available at that place thus also reducing transportation cost required for providing fuel for decentralised system.

Renewable energies cant replace our present conventional power station as the amount of electricity required is to high but we can get a substitute or back-up support for grid system using renewable energies. This will also help in making our proposed smart grid system more efficient.

So, the answer is we can achieve the 24X7 electricity goal but will have to go steadily and in more sustainable manner so that it will not boomerang us again and will help in our round-the-clock energy requirement.

India is still on its path towards development. New techniques have been implemented for power generation. It is expected that renewable sources of energy will gain importance in near future. So, it can be expected that India will have power supply for 24/7 all round the year.
