Industrial visit to Maharashtra State load dispatch Center

As part of our academic curriculum and to gain practical insights into power system operations, we undertook an educational visit to the State Load Dispatch Center (SLDC) located in Airoli, Maharashtra on 22nd September 2025. The primary objective of the visit was to understand the real-time monitoring, scheduling, and coordination of electrical power flow across the state's transmission network.

The SLDC plays a central role in balancing electricity supply and demand, maintaining grid frequency, and ensuring the safe, reliable, and economic operation of the power system within the state.The State Load Dispatch Center (SLDC) acts as the nerve center for managing Maharashtra’s power grid.
