3. Generation History Manual logging of Data Lots of people required. Too many instruments required. Persons expertise required to run the machines. Manual follow up for running equipment in sequence. Many errors occur during running. No automatic alarm generation in case of fault.
4. No analysis provision available in the case of fault. Analog instruments have no data logging provision. Auto staring of equipment in case of failure of one is not possible. Rigorous monitoring of all critical equipment. Remote monitoring and control not available. Untapped hydro potential.
5. Transmission History Analog meters need logging of data by persons. Controlling of over drawl by utilities is not possible. Lot of time is required to collect and summerise data for transmission lines running in 100’s of KM. No Grid discipline. Localised operation were possible. Quality parameters( Voltage, frequency andPF) monitoring was missing Non availability of monitoring system was one of the reason for not connecting different regional grids.
6. Distribution History Power cuts Poor network. Long distribution lines. Outdated equipment. No Preventive maintenance No power in most of the villages even cities face the same problem. Low level of Generation Lack of Transmission network. Power to all by 2012. Loss level of Rs 26000 Crore. National Level of Loss 55%. High T&D Losses. No MIS Generation.
7. Commercial losses. Theft of Electricity Non Payment of Bills Faulty meters No proper reading of meters Long processing time for Bills Manual bill preparation for energy consumed. No tracking of non payments. Loop poles in the billing system and high level of erroneous bills. Free power to vote banks. No asset management No balance sheets. IT implementation in piece meal basis. Core business operation having no IT implementation.
8. Parameters for Monitoring Revenue Enhancement Cost Reduction Shorten consumption to collection time Outage time / PLF Units Generated Quality Stable Voltage and Frequency. Enhanced customer Experience. Loss level monitoring( Energy Audit)
