The adoption of smart meters is an essential requirement for modernising the power distribution infrastructure. Smart meters are useful for aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) loss reduction, renewable energy integration, demand forecasting, load management and […]
The emerging electric vehicle (EV) market is expected to impact both the road transportation and power sectors significantly. On the one hand, increasing penetration of EVs will reduce the heavy dependence of the transport sector […]
Over the years, the growing interconnectedness of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT), emergence of bidirectional power supply, deployment of smart meters and growing use of microgrid and energy storage solutions have increased the […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are ushering in the next wave of digital transformation. They are transforming businesses, that is, the way they run, compete and thrive. The key drivers of AI and […]
Smart grid development is expected to transform the Indian power sector into a secure, adaptive, sustainable and digitally enabled ecosystem, which provides reliable and quality energy for all, with active participation of stakeholders. To realise […]
The India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF), which was set up in 2010, has been a key agency involved in furthering the development of smart grids in the country. Ahead of its flagship event, India Smart […]
Smart metering is an essential tool to track the electricity consumption of users, and curb aggregate technical and commercial losses of distribution utilities. Smart meters are also expected to help distribution utilities in improving their […]
Cyberattacks on smart grids can disrupt the entire power sector. The risk of cyberthreats extends to all interconnected components across the generation, transmission and distribution channels. Being constantly connected to the internet, a smart grid […]
Data analytics has emerged as one of the key focus areas of discoms. It is aimed at improving their operational performance and enhancing consumer satisfaction. Utilities are increasingly undertaking data analytics to predict load growth […]
High transmission and distribution losses in the power sector have put discoms in a vulnerable financial position. The power sector is gradually transforming from being a producer monopoly in a localised market with unidirectional flow […]
Energy storage is emerging as a critical requirement as the country moves towards smarter grids, renewable energy integration and greater uptake of electric vehicles (EVs). At the grid level, storage systems can be installed to […]
