Discussion
Given below are two statements :
Statement I : The power grid system is divided based upon the different regions in the country.
Statement II : The load demand during peak hours is required to meet from the other generating system in other region or part of the country.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Answer: D
Both Statement I and Statement II are true.
Statement I is true: India's grid was planned and is still operated as regional grids: Northern, Western, Eastern, North-Eastern and Southern. Each has its own Regional Load Despatch Centre under the national centre, even though they are now synchronised as one national grid.
Statement II is true: peak demand in one region often falls at a different time from another region's, or when another region has surplus generation. Inter-regional links let peak demand be met by power transferred from generating systems in other parts of the country, which is a main reason for interconnecting the grids.
