Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), (NSE: POWERGRID, BSE: 532898) is an Indian state-owned electric utilities company headquartered in Gurgaon, India. Power Grid wheels about 51% of the total power generated in India on its transmission network. Power Grid has a pan India presence with around 82,045 Circuit-km of Transmission network and 135 nos. of EHVAC & HVDC sub-stations with a total transformation capacity of 91,945 MVA. The Inter-regional capacity is enhanced to 22400 MW. Power Grid has also diversified into Telecom business and established a telecom network of more than 21,000 km across the country. Power Grid has consistently maintained the transmission system availability over 99.00% which is at par with the International Utilities.

In 1980 the Rajadhyaksha Committee on Power Sector Reforms submitted its report to the Government of India suggesting extensive reforms in the Indian power sector. Based on the recommendations of the Rajadhyaksha Committee, in 1981 the Government of India took the policy decision to form a national power grid which would pave the way for the integrated operation of the central and regional transmission systems. Pursuant to this decision to form a national power grid, PowerGrid was incorporated on October 23, 1989 under the companies Act, 1956 as the National Power Transmission Corporation Limited, with the responsibility of planning, executing, owning, operating and maintaining the high voltage transmission systems in the country. The Company received a certificate for commencement of business on November 8, 1990. Subsequently, the name of the Company was changed to Power Grid Corporation of India Limited with effect from October 23, 1992.

POWERGRID has enhanced the inter-regional capacity of National Grid to 22,400 MW.India is divided into 5 Regions - Northern Region(NR), Eastern Region(ER), Western Region(WR), Southern Region(SR) and North-East Region(NER). Out of all these Regions the NR,ER,WR and NER are synchronized which is known as NEW Grid. Whereas SR is not synchronized with the rest of the regions with AC lines and hence runs on a slightly different Frequency. SR is connected with WR and ER with HVDC links only. When PGCIL was formed then the responsibility of Regional Load Despatch Centres(RLDCs) was handed over to POWERGRID by Central Electricity Authority(CEA). On 25th February,2009 the National Load Despatch Center(NLDC) was inaugurated. Now these Regional Load Despatch Centres(RLDCs) and National Load Despatch Center(NLDC) is a separate Organisation named POSOCO (Power system Operation Corporation), a wholly owned subsidiary of POWERGRID.

John Barnett painted by Charles Baugniet in 1839

John Barnett (July 15, 1802 – April 16, 1890) was an English composer and writer on music.

Life[link]

Barnett was the eldest son of a Prussian Jew named Bernhard Beer, who changed his surname on settling in England as a jeweller. According to some he was a cousin of the composer Giacomo Meyerbeer. Barnett was born at Bedford, and at the age of eleven sang at the Lyceum Theatre stage in London. His good voice led to his being given a musical education, and he soon began writing songs and lighter pieces for the stage.

In 1834 he published a collection of Lyrical Illustrations of the Modern Poets. His opera The Mountain Sylph - with which his name is nowadays most associated - received a warm welcome when produced at the Lyceum on 25 August 1834, as the first modern English opera, and was given over 100 performances, which was an unusual success. It was followed by Fair Rosamond in 1837, and Farinelli in 1839, but Barnett never again achieved the success that he had enjoyed with The Mountain Sylph. Disappointed with his reception as a composer, Barnett retired to the country. He had a large connection as a singing-master at Cheltenham, and published Systems and Singing-masters (1842) and School for the Voice (1844). Barnett wrote several songs for the theatre with the actor, playwright and theatre manager John Baldwin Buckstone, and also some instrumental works, including three string quartets and a violin sonata.

Amongst his light music is a piece for Concertina and Piano called Spare Moments composed in 1859.

One of his daughters Clara Kathleen Barnett became a singer and composer. His nephew John Francis Barnett (1837–1916) was also a composer.

Although The Mountain Sylph is all but forgotten, it inspired parts of Gilbert and Sullivan's 1882 Savoy Opera, Iolanthe.

Peter John Sanderson, Jr. (born April 25, 1952) is a comic book critic and historian,^[1] as well as an instructor/lecturer in the New York area concerning the study of graphic novels/comic books as literature.^[2]

He is best known for his work as a researcher at the two main American comics companies, DC and Marvel, where he helped to catalog the various fictional characters that comprised their respective continuities.

Biography[link]

As a teenager, and later, at Columbia University, Sanderson's first involvement in the field was as a "letterhack," a frequent contributor to comic book letter columns. His missives impressed DC Comics editor Julius Schwartz enough for Schwartz expand the letter columns in some titles to a second, separate page (such as "Flash-Grams — Extra", "Letters To the Batcave — Extra", and "JLA Mailroom — Special Peter Sanderson Edition") to facilitate Sanderson's analysis.^[3] In the early 1980s Sanderson wrote for comic fanzines.

From there, Sanderson broke into the comic book industry proper; he was first hired by DC Comics, where he was given the task of reading every comic book published by the company since 1935. His research was used by Len Wein to write Who's Who in the DC Universe.^[4] Sanderson then went to work for Marvel as their first (and only) archivist,^[5] and contributed as a researcher on the various Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe series in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Sanderson was also the writer of the Marvel Saga and Wolverine Saga limited series. These titles did not follow the typical art-centered comic book format; instead, the two series focused on text chronicling the fictional histories of comic book characters — rather than writing new exploits of the characters — that Sanderson culled from previous titles Marvel had published over the years. The text was supplemented by individual panels excerpted from the comic books that served as Sanderson's sources.

He writes an online column entitled Comics in Context, which (in Sanderson's own words) is "a weekly series of critical essays on comics, cartoon art, and related subjects" ^[6] (those "related subjects" can run the gamut from film adaptations of comic books, to other media that have been influenced by comics, such as Star Wars). The series started on July 8, 2003 on the website IGN.com, but then moved to the Kevin Smith-affiliated website Quick Stop Entertainment on June 23, 2006; according to Mr. Sanderson, the "Powers That Be" in charge of IGN's comics section began to tamper with the titles of his columns and complain about some of the topics he covered, whereby a "change of scenery" was necessary.^[6] After a seventeen-month hiatus, Comics in Context returned to the newly-rebranded A Site Called Fred on January 19, 2010.^[7]

Outside of his online writings, Sanderson has also had a number of books published (including The Marvel Vault and The Marvel Travel Guide to New York),^[8] taught the class The Graphic Novel as Literature at NYU,^[9] curated an exhibition on Stan Lee for the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art,^[10] and reviews the latest in comics and comics-related material for Publishers Weekly.
