Cyberattacks are carried out with malicious intent, and have the potential to compromise the power supply system and render the grid insecure. They can result in equipment maloperation and damage, and may even have a […]
Utilities across the power sector value chain are adopting information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) for increasing process efficiency, reducing costs and enhancing consumer services. With the increase in decentralised generation, penetration of renewables […]
New and emerging technologies such as internet of things (IoT), digital substations, blockchain and remote monitoring solutions are revamping the way utilities operate and maintain their assets. Power utilities are increasingly deploying sensors and intelligent […]
The power sector is experiencing a growing adoption of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT) solutions aimed at improving system efficiency and resilience, optimising costs and accelerating clean energy transition. Technological advancements, declining costs […]
Efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) of equipment and systems is one of the top priorities of utilities globally. Keeping transmission assets in good health is essential for ensuring uninterrupted power supply and maintaining a congestion-free network. […]
At the COP26 conference, India pledged to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 GW, meet 50 per cent of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030, and achieve net zero by 2070. Hence, […]
The transmission grid faces numerous challenges. Renewable energy integration is the biggest challenge. Based on the agenda of COP26, India needs to integrate over 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030. Thus, the transmission segment […]
The Indian power transmission segment has grown significantly over the years to cater to the rise in generation capacity and power demand, making the country’s electricity grid one of the largest synchronous grids in the […]
The role of thermal power plants (TPPs) is changing at a fast pace with the shifting fuel mix, led by the increasing share of intermittent renewable energy sources. TPPs, which have been the main source […]
Smart metering is crucial for the efficient distribution of power in India. Over the past decade, there have been targeted efforts to revamp the country’s metering infrastructure, with smart meters playing a pivotal role in […]
The Indian power grid is becoming increasingly complex owing to the integration of large-scale renewables, growth in decentralised generation, penetration of electric vehicles and rise in digital loads. This necessitates electric utilities to take steps […]
Smart meters are becoming increasingly prominent in the power distribution segment, owing to their ability to improve the operational and financial performance of the utilities. As of February 2023, the total number of smart meter […]
A smart grid is an electric grid equipped with automation, communication and information technology systems that can monitor power flow from the points of generation to the points of consumption, and control it or curtail […]
India and its neighbours, Bhutan and Nepal, are actively engaged in harnessing and utilising the hydropower resources of the region to meet the rising electricity demand. The profile of power demand in these countries complements […]
Hydropower is set to play a key role in the transition to renewable energy, given its ability to address the intermittency and grid balancing requirements. As the largest and most readily available source of flexibility […]
Digitalisation of hydropower plants improves power plant performance by optimising asset management and reducing operations and maintenance (O&M) costs. Digital solutions access and analyse plant performance data to derive actionable insights for making the right […]
