The Nakkalagutta substation at Hanamkonda and AJ Mills substation at Warangal on Wednesday became the first substations to be upgraded into unmanned substations under the Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited (TGNPDCL) jurisdiction.
According to NPDCL Chairman and Managing Director Karnati Varun Reddy,
the company was planning to convert about 20 substations into unmanned operations by September 30 in Hanamkonda and Warangal Circles. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, these substations would be monitored and controlled entirely from the SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) centre from the corporate office situated in Hanamkonda, he said.
