In a demonstration of collaborative efforts between emerging superpowers, India along with China, Brazil and South Africa, has decided to work on developing a sophisticated high voltage direct current (HDVC) technology for enabling transmission of power from hydro power resources of North East to the rest of the country, chairman and managing director of Power Grid Corporation of India Limited R P Singh said on Tuesday.

Speaking to reporters here after a International Council on Large Electric System (CIGRE) Administrative Council Meeting, Singh said "China, Brazil and South Africa also faced a similar problem of uneven distribution of natural resources. Hence such a joint study and project would benefit all the countries since it would greatly cut down on the cost factor as well as ensure safety and reliability," he said.

He said the entire concept would have to be developed and tested before any concrete implementation.

On the various future plans for the power sector, Singh said the modernization of the national grid, setting up of national load dispatch center at Delhi and back up center in Kolkata would greatly boost the power sector in the country.
