Hearty greetings to all!
It gives us great pleasure and happiness to be awarded yet again, the prestigious Indira Gandhi RajbhashaAward or the year 2010-11. The H`ble President o India Shri. Pranab Mukherjee gave away the award on14th September 2012 on the occasion o Hindi Divas.
We have reached another milestone in successully carrying out short circuit test on 100MVA, 220/132kVauto transormer. This is the highest rating o transormer tested within India so ar, which was hithertodone either at KEMA, Netherlands or CESI, Italy.
In time to come as we are moving towards smarter grid - Electric vehicles are going to play a major role inreduction o carbon oot print. In our quest or a green campus, we have introduced electric vehicles in thecampus that would be ultimately confgured to give back energy to the grid.
Among the plethora o training programs and conerences, the IEEE 10th International Conerence on
Properties and Application o Dielectric Materials (ICPADM) stands out.Its gratiying to see many clients rom countries like Aghanistan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Sri Lanka utilizeour evaluation acilities. This is only a small step in our dream to turn CPRI into a truly internationallaboratory, and we will keep innovating in this quest and request support and eedback rom our stakeholders.

SHORT CIRCUIT TEST ON 100MVA, 220/132KV AUTO TRANSFORMER
The High Power Laboratory (HPL) of CPRI, Bangalore has created arecord in the history of CPRI and India on 24 August 2012 bysuccessfully carrying out a short circuit test on 100 MVA, 220/132 kVauto transformer for M/s Kanohar Electricals Ltd, Meerut. This is thehighest rating of a transformer tested within India so far. Earlier,manufacturers performed transformers rating at KEMA, Netherlandsor CESI, Italy. The next target transformer to be short circuit testedat HPL is 160 MVA, which is likely to be taken up in the near future.
The augmentation of an existing bus bar system and switch yard isunder way after which the capability of the laboratory to test 400 kVtransformers will go up to 120 MVA, 3-phase.

In our endeavor towards Smart Grids, CPRI has procuredtwo electric vehicles that can be charged withphoto-voltaic modules. In case o a grid ailure orrequirement, the vehicles can give back power to thegrid. CPRI has a sprawling campus o about 120 acresand various laboratories situated in dierent locations.These vehicles are a boon or moving around thecampus, making CPRI campus a green campus. It is alsoa process to reduce the carbon ootprint. These vehiclesalso ulfll a long-time request rom our clients. TheDirector General o CPRI inaugurated the shuttle serviceo the electric vehicles in the campus.

The Utility Automation Research Centre has established a state-o-the-art protocol testing laboratory, which is the frst and only acility o itskind available in the country. The laboratory is equipped with test tools authorized by international agencies. The Substation Automation
Laboratory is accredited by Utility Communication Architecture International User Group (UCA IUG), USA as a Level A laboratory (Level Aimplies independent third party test laboratory). The conormance certifcate issued by CPRI carries UCA and CPRI logos, which are acceptedworldwide. Tests are carried out as per the latest release o UCA test procedures.
IEC 61850 is an open standard or substation automation. The standard defnes rules or realizing interoperability between unctions anddevices used or protection, monitoring, supervision and control in substations. Conormance testing is a process to veriy implementation onIEDs and communication with the external world according to the standard. The laboratory is equipped with tools or conormance testing orIEC 61850 server devices. The laboratory has been unctioning since 2008 and it is being utilized by various manuacturers and developers. IEDso various types including RTU, Protection IEDs and Gateways are being tested in the laboratory. It is also used to provide developmentassistance to various developers and manuacturers or the development o IEDs as per IEC 61850.
This acility o CPRI is an important contribution to the power sector or promoting substation automation, as it supports interoperability. Thisstandard is identifed as a core standard or Smart Grid.
