Even today, whole human history bewilders with the most erstwhile
invention of fire which was basically for producing heat. But
process proceed, we learned conversion—fire under a kettle
produced steam. Watching over the human condition through that lens,
while resources may be limited but human ingenuity so far has seemed
boundless.
Now, in a compelling way, this is the condition in which global energy
producers now find themselves. There have been years you’re hearing
about future of energy, power application’s next generation or the
upcoming future utility business model. Everyone is probably getting a
little tired of it. But indeed something is changing all around us that might
not come to your notice. It is the development in the way we control,
design, operate and maintain energy plants — at outset using those tiny
rooftop PV arrays to now going with the most remote, biggest, offshore
wind farms: everything is turning digital.
Digitalization has come up all on a different level, where hardware is
experiencing a brain so as to easily fetch the data, analyze it, and compile
the decisions without any human intrusion.
Softwares are playing an important role in the lives of energy stakeholders.
Companies in an urge to get better working hard towards making power
plants smarter with installing cloud-connected sensors. Mergers of solar
with storage technologies is getting higher to reduce annual peaks in
microgrids.
It’s no secret that bluer oil prices and upcoming scenario where fossil fuels
are diminished, is encouraging a serious rethinking to energy companies.
Some governments are attempting to switch vehicles that use combustion
engines with electric vehicles, thereby easily cutting oil demand and
emissions. With this huge step, concerns about local air pollution and
climate change, some or all will get justified.
Talking about energy, India is remaining true to its determined renewable
energy targets, which could be observed with the deduced data, which as of
April 2017 account for 17.5 percent of the total energy source. This is
remarkable growth in renewable energy installations in India. India also
aims for reaching 170 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, out of
which 100 GW is to come from solar.
Evident for a while, solar and wind stand poised to reform energy markets.
And world is taking a transition from a hydrocarbon-dominated system to
one where renewables started to shape influential market share, enthusiast
players in energy will definitely leverage all present technologies —from
established to upstart.

UL – South Asia
COVER STORY

As a global leader in the
testing, inspection and
certification (TIC) industry
with a rich legacy of 123 years, UL
sets global benchmarks for safety,
quality and performance of products
spanning a wide range of industries.
UL’s internationally renowned
authority in safety science has enabled
its expansion to over a hundred
countries worldwide. This reflects in its
now two decades long presence in
India.
UL in India is driven by the company’s
mission to make the world a safer,
more secure and sustainable place. The
company has worked relentlessly to
craft and deliver on an ‘In India for
India’ strategy; and has executed this
ambitious plan through significant
investment in building world class
testing and engineering capabilities as
well as developing bespoke solutions
for addressing needs of manufacturers
within the country. UL also has long
standing relationships with the
Government of India, and with leading
academic institutions, with whom it
undertakes pioneering research in
topics such as solar energy and fire
safety.
In more ways than one, UL’s growth in
India mirrors the changing policy
landscape in the country. While India
still has a long way to go to compete
globally and improve quality and
safety standards to match those of
mature economies around the world,
there has definitely been rapid progress
in this regard over the past few years.
It is heartening that the government
and manufacturing communities are
recognizing the importance of
establishing safety and quality
standards for the domestic market as
well, rather than just focusing on the
exports.
Through the Looking Glass – A
History of UL
UL was founded in 1894 by William
Henry Merrill, a 25 year old American
electric engineer, who was
commissioned by insurers to examine
the safety of the electrical wiring in the
‘Palace of Electricity’, an exhibit at the
World Columbian Exposition in
Chicago that was held to mark 400
years of Christopher Columbus’s
discovery of the Americas.
Sensing the need for electrical safety
and the market potential that electricity
driven technology posed, Merrill’s
landmark experience at the World
Columbian Exposition prompted him
to form the Underwriters Electrical
Bureau as an ode to his service as an
insurance underwriter. The
Underwriters Electrical Bureau was
then renamed as Underwriters
Laboratories in 1903. Merrill soon
began the process of evaluating
WORKING
for
a Safer,
Secure &
Sustainable
WORLD
“ “

hazards and launched tests to set safety
standards. UL published its first
standard, “Tin Clad Fire Doors,” in
1903. The following year, the UL Mark
made its debut with the labeling of a
fire extinguisher. In 1905, the
organization established a Label
Service for certain product categories
that require more frequent inspections.
UL inspectors conducted the first
factory inspections on labeled products
at manufacturers’ facilities, a
pioneering practice that defined the
crux of UL’s services.
Since Merrill’s time, UL has expanded
into an organization with 64
Laboratories, 160 testing and
certification facilities serving
customers in 104 countries. It has over
13,000 safety professionals spanning
over 50 countries around the world.
And it has expanded into various
service verticals – serving the
traditional fire & electrical equipment
manufacturers to lighting & HVAC
products, medical devices, high
performance materials (e.g. plastics &
composites), consumer technology
products, consumer products (such as
textiles, jewelry, toys, chemicals) to
financial, transaction & cyber security
– all with a singular mission: ensuring
safe, secure and sustainable living and
working environments.
How UL is Helping India in its Clean
Energy Mission
As solar and wind energy technologies
become more prominent in the energy
mix globally, UL has developed an
advanced suite of end-to-end services
to address the safety, quality and
performance issues of these
technologies. It works with
manufacturers, developers and utilities
in minimizing risks and facilitating
growth in their renewable energy
investments. UL’s services cover many
areas in project development for
planning and engineering, construction
and commissioning, and operations
and maintenance.
UL India can hence help the Indian
renewable energy sector adapt to the
highest standards. The company’s
laboratory at Bangalore was first
private laboratory in India accredited
to test MNRE requirements for PV
components and systems. To support
the wind industry, it provides on-site
technical support that deliver quick,
reliable results and reduced time-to-
market, apart from offering safety,
performance and function testing
services for the assessment of wind
turbines and wind turbine components.
This has been possible through a
couple of acquisitions (DEWI and
AWS Truepower) – that UL did
globally – and integrated locally. UL
ensures that all these services provided
comply with regional, national and
international regulations and standards,
and also meet the needs of insurers,
developers and investors.
Apart from bringing its global
experience in the the renewable energy
space to support the solar and wind
energy sectors in India, UL has also
taken a lead in identifying and offering
solutions to demands that arise as
green energy gains further ground in
the country. Some of these areas
include:
• Standards development
Through its participation in
technical committees, UL engages
with the MNRE and allied bodies
like the SECI, NISE and NIWE
experience to devise a robust
country-specific standards and
conformity assessment framework.
In the energy industry, one of the
biggest challenges until recently
for UL was working in a sector
that did not define minimum
requirements to evaluate and
assess the quality, performance
and operational efficiency of
equipment and installations as a
whole. A worrying factor that UL
observed was that there was a gap
in understanding the long term
implications of renewable
investment – ultimately, for the
clean energy program to succeed,
it is not the amount of installations
that matter but the quality of
power output. Through various
engagements with stakeholders,
the company has consistently
articulated these challenges and
provided solutions to overcome
them. UL believes that the
recently announced move toward
greater quality control in the solar
sector is a welcome one.
• Supporting agriculture through
adoption of solar pumps
By circumventing the need for
either electricity or fossil fuels
like diesel to run irrigation pumps

for the fields, solar based water pumps
are a boon to farmers in the remote
areas the country and are emerging as
an important tool to invigorate the
agricultural sector. UL has played a
critical role in the large scale
adoption of solar water pumping
systems in India by helping to
ensure that only the systems that
meet the quality and performance
criteria as defined in MNRE
specifications are qualified to be
installed in the country. UL’s state
of the art Solar Pump testing
facility in Bangalore is capable
of testing PV Modules, Pump
Controllers and the pump
assembly as a complete
system.
• Creating energy
infrastructure for
smart cities
Smart meters -
With over 200
million smart
meters installed
either in
operational or
pilot processes
in India,
consumer
concerns about
potential safety &
performance hazards
associated with smart
meters are increasing.
Various utilities seeking to
install energy meters, request the
suppliers to submit type test
reports from a BIS-accredited
laboratory to ascertain compliance
with the national standards of
safety, accuracy and
communications protocol.
Identifying this need, UL in India
has made an investment in a
comprehensive testing facility
dedicated to smart meters.
Through the testing facility, UL
will cater to the growing needs of
certification in the advanced
metering industry. UL in India
intends to provide safety research
and advisory services to key
stakeholders, including utilities,
regulators and non-utility users of
smart meters.
Smart Grids - As an ever-
increasing number of products
and systems become
interconnected, the need to verify
interoperability between them
prior to installation and use is a
critical cost and time saver. UL
provides testing and certification
services for smart grid product
and system interoperability,
performance and security.
Exploring the Indian Energy Market
with Innovation
In the renewables sector in India, UL is
currently focused on driving multi-
stakeholder effort to develop Indian
standards for energy storage systems
and support the burgeoning market for
composite materials through its
extensive suite of testing, certification
and advisory services. To attain
international repute and be sustainable
in the long run, advanced
manufacturing capabilities in
expensive sectors like clean energy
must be aided by certification
Concentrating
our efforts and
resources on public
safety and helping
India with a wide
range of quality and
safety issues
““

programs, and this is what UL is
striving to provide in India.
The UL 2900, launched in 2016 is an
all-encompassing standard series to
assess cyber security of network
connected devices. Considering the
ambitious Smart Cities Mission and the
movement toward creating a digital
economy, cyber security is becoming a
priority area and UL is eager to lend its
experience to devise standards and
deliver solutions that are relevant to
India.
Living the Public Safety Mission
As a company built on the core
philosophy of promoting safety for all,
UL’s operations transcend business
undertakings to encapsulate varied
Not-For-Profit efforts. In India, the
body of work under its NFP
programme to advance public safety
touches critical areas of road safety,
fire safety and access to clean water.
Through collaborations with premier
educational institutions, government
agencies, industry bodies and other non
profits, UL has, over the past few
years, contributed profoundly to the
understanding of fire hazards in India
and ways to combat them. A prime
example of this is the first of its kind
fire façade test at IIT Gandhinagar to
study the impact of fire on glass façade
buildings. The National Fire Safety
Council, which UL has been hosting
over the past decade, brings several
government and private stakeholders
together to deliberate on improving fire
safety mechanisms in the country.
In the road safety space, UL is
dedicated to grooming youth to
become safety ambassadors of
tomorrow. A pioneering effort in this
area is the enlightening, multipart
safety quiz competition called ‘The
National Safety Science Quiz’ that is
conducted in partnership with NDTV.
UL’s safety education efforts are
expected to reach more than 55,000
students from over 750 schools across
10 cities in India.
Through, its on-going partnership with
the Safe Water Network that began in
2012, UL provides grants and audits
services that enable affordable and
reliable access to clean water, thereby
empowering communities to own and
manage safe water systems. To-date,
this crucial collaboration has brought
clean to more than 600,000 people in
rural Indian villages.
UL’s vision for the Future
As India gallops into the digital arena
with increased adoption of mobile
telephony and internet access, UL will
strive hard to create a safe digital
ecosystem to ensure the safety and
security of interconnected systems that
span electricity grids to digital
transactions.
Over the next few years, UL is also
dedicated to work actively in changing
the safety culture in the country by
making ordinary consumers more
safety conscious. While UL works
primarily in the B2B space, it also
wants to deepen its involvement in
promoting safety awareness. After all,
the products that they validate touch
consumers lives directly and an
increase in safety consciousness will
lead to a ‘demand push’ scenario where
consumers influence the acceleration of
safety and quality legislations.
Steering the Success of UL in India
Suresh Sugavanam, Vice President
and Managing Director of UL South
Asia is steering the company’s growth
in India since 2013.
Having worked in high profile roles in
global conglomerates like Suzlon,
E&Y, Boston Consulting Group where
he has dealt with the energy sector,
Suresh’s arrival to UL India has been
timely. Suresh’s strategies to propel the
company’s growth include expanding
laboratory infrastructure, investing in
technical and managerial upskilling,
assimilating and bringing UL’s global
expertise to India, and to develop and
offer locally relevant solutions.
Thereby contribute to accelerating
India’s GDP growth – to address
domestic and export needs. Suresh has
also broadened the reach and impact of
UL’s not-for-profit mission leveraging
Research, Outreach, Standards &
Education on topics such as fire safety,
road safety, quality and standards
framework for the country.

INTERVIEW WITH INSIGHTS SUCCESS

The industry scenario in India is
bullish on renewable capacity buildup,
whereas conventional thermal power
may not see new builds in the recent
times but may witness revamping of
facilities for them to become
environmentally benign. The sector
may also see large scale distribution
reforms.
2) On which innovation is Tata
Power currently working on?
Tata Power is continuing its pioneering
spirit by pursuing various innovative
solutions in Decentralized Distributed
Generation (DDG). DDG enables
small-scale technologies to produce
electricity close to the end users of
power. The technologies used often
consist of modular (often renewable-
energy based) generators, offering
potential benefits like providing
electricity with higher power reliability
and security, along with fewer
environmental consequences than
traditional power generators. The
pioneering spirit is at the root of every
Tata Power team member & the pursuit
for innovative products, solutions, and
business models will continue.
Tata Power has always set a standard in
adopting sustainable practices in its
business by using innovative
technology, providing customers
access to energy-efficient processes,
increasing green generation capacity
and partnering with institutions of
scientific learning.
3) Kindly tell us about the green
initiatives undertaken by Tata
Power.
In the quest to deliver clean energy, we
as a Company are focusing on building
a robust renewable energy portfolio,
scouting for clean sources of power,
reducing our carbon footprint and
investing in cleaner technologies and
global resources.
Powered by Greenolution, Tata Power
in 2015 launched ‘Be Green’ campaign
following the mantra that green is the
only way to evolve and has set new
benchmarks by caring for the planet
and its future. The campaign follows a
holistic approach towards energy and
resource conservation and encourages
consumers to take the pledge by
signing up to any five of their enlisted
pledges.
In last few years, Tata Power has
launched diverse DSM programs
which include appliance exchange,
load shift and energy audits. Some
innovative programs like “Demand
Response”, a smart grid solution and
“Thermal storage”, a load shift solution
were acknowledged at a national level.
Tata Power is one of the earliest
Mr. Anil Sardana
CEO & MD
NOVEMBER 2017 | 15

utilities in India to have embraced DSM programs in a wide
spread manner.
4) How is Tata Power helping its customers to amass
the benefits of its superior features?
For decades, Tata Power has been successfully supplying
power to the country. We have built robust Private Public
Partnerships with various entities and are proud to be the
largest integrated power company in India. Notwithstanding
competition and regulation, we believe that dealing
ethically with stakeholders is the best policy and affirm to
the adage, ‘honesty is the best policy’, and our stakeholders
— be they consumers or government regulators — have
applauded us for it.
Business ethics, corporate governance, sustainability,
community relations, and being an employer of choice,
along with providing clean, competitive, abundant, and
uninterrupted power supply are Tata Power’s key tenets in
building corporate character and trust in the marketplace.
This commitment is steadfast and deep down in every
employee and associate, and that’s what helps the team stay
focused in pursuing its objectives.
5) What are the upcoming future prospects of Tata
Power.
In line with the government’s objective towards promoting
renewable energy, Tata Power has a well-defined growth
plan and is pursuing actions towards achieving the same.
The Company aims to build a total capacity of 20,000 MW
by 2025. We are working towards achieving this target and,
in FY17, we have added about 1400 MW of capacity with
various projects in pipeline. For the next 3 years, the
company has sketched out a well-defined plan to shape up
its balance sheet, and is pursuing actions towards achieving
the same. We wish to increase our solar & wind businesses
significantly over a period of time; as the government is
expected to bid out large scale projects to meet its target.
We are exploring multiple options, both Greenfield and
acquisitions, to be able to capture the market for Solar,
Wind, and hydro based generation. The Company is also in
the process of acquiring suitable land parcels in various
states to support development of solar and wind projects.
6) Finally, can you brief us about your most
successfully incorporated strategy, in terms of energy
production and distribution, currently in the market?
In terms of energy production, a quick ramp up of non-
fossil fuel capacity to 30% of portfolio has been a
successful strategy. In distribution, turnaround of ailing
state-owned enterprise in Delhi has been a well-executed
strategy. Tata Power has recently signed a joint venture
between Tata Power and the Government of NCT of Delhi
with the majority stake being held by Tata Power Company
(51%). The company started operations on July 1, 2002 post
the unbundling of the erstwhile Delhi Vidyut Board (DVB)
and has been the frontrunner in implementing power
distribution reforms in the capital city and is acknowledged
for its consumer-friendly practices. Since privatization, the
Aggregate Technical & Commercial (AT&C) losses in Tata
Power-DDL areas have shown a record decline. Today,
AT&C losses stand at 8.59%, which is an unprecedented
reduction of around 84% from an opening loss level of 53%
in July 2002.
Tata Power has recently signed a Distribution Franchisee
Agreement (DFA) with Ajmer Vidyut Vitran Nigam
Limited (AVVNL) to cater to the power requirements of
customers in Ajmer by replicating this success story of
Delhi.

an impact in the Indian Electricity
sector.
Pushing Beyond the Boundaries
Challenges and hurdles are present in
every business, but for EsyaSoft, the
main challenge was to convince the
customers about the Product, because
the energy sector plays a vital role in
the operation of large companies like
Oracle, Landis plus Gyr, Itron, GE,
Siemens and it is filled with people
having domain and industry expertise
who are also very comfortable with the
legacy systems. Thus, it was difficult
for EsyaSoft to ensure customers about
their products as they were new in this
domain and the team size was too
small, and on the other hand, the
competitors they had were big players
of the domain.

uman-made satellites like the International Space
HStation, have long been able to utilize the solar
energy that affects from the sun, getting that
power back to Earth where people can use it.
The Japanese breakthrough gives the hope that humans will
one day be able to use an inexhaustible source of energy in
space.
‘Breakthrough in wireless energy transmission’, What does
this mean exactly? It’s that humanity which has now
officially begun to realize one of the most aspiring thought
th
experiments of the 20 century – The Dyson Sphere.
Japan is struggling to expand its scientific opportunities.
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has
contributed to this major scientific achievement. With the
use of microwaves, JAXA’s researchers were able to
transmit 1.8 kilowatts of energy through the air to a receiver
170 feet away. There are no wires, no cables, no pipelines,
no trains, no trucks, no nothing. Just Energy. Through the
air. Granted, it is not a lot of energy –1.8 kW is about
sufficient to run an electric kettle, according to the reports.
“This was the first time someone has managed to send a
high output of nearly 2 kilowatts of electric power through
microwaves to a small target, with the use of a delicate
directivity control device,” as per JAXA researches. Today,
they can get into what this wireless energy transmitted is
for- JAXA has been investing on a system that would use
solar-powered satellites to transmit energy directly to the
Earth.
This Space Solar Power System would define that solar
power would be available anywhere on the earth, at any
time of day, regardless of whether or there is no sunlight on
the planet. JAXA’s ideal goal is to set up solar panels and
antennae nearby 22,300 miles from the Earth, which could

take various decades to practically realize. JAXA has
evaluated that the system would probably not be ready until
2040 and they even haven’t find out how to achieve the
large structure they need into space, or how to develop it, or
how to maintain it.
Hats off to all those Scientists! Just imagine the power of
this innovation. When a great theoretical physicist and
mathematician Freeman Dyson look through the science
fiction novel Star Maker, he was truly inspired to propose
what has become called as the Dyson Sphere, which is a
wide range of solar panels that enclose the sun and beam
energy back to the Earth. Considering JAXA continues to
improve this technology, and assuming it looks a major
investment from the right parties, at the end of this modern
era we could have access to a renewable, sustainable source
of energy.

“Real estate has been considered as
the most sought of investment as per
the Indian investor’s psyche.” Like
any other market, Real Estate sector
also has its highs and lows. Although
investors have minted money during
the boom period of 2002-2013, they
also have seen the declining phase of
the market between 1994-2002 when
the properties were sold at half their
peak price. Expecting similar returns in
nascent markets might be possible, but
it won't be fair to expect the same kind
of return in developed markets.
Lack of Buyer’s Interest
The bear phase of the market has
directly touched the sentiments of
investors and people are not very keen
on buying the property looking at the
unclear future picture of few of the
projects. The sector carries a baggage
due to ignorance and opaque regulation
which needs to be settled to improve
market sentiments. Decline in a
number of buyers for residential
projects can be witnessed clearly due
to the lack of appropriate pricing,
which is found as high as compared to
the average income of investors and
rental aspects of the property. This is
one major factor that has impacted the
level of demand for end users as well
as the investors.
Buying Opportunity
A boom in the Real Estate market is
expected with GDP is moving to 7.5-
8% per annum. Moreover, the current
government has also tried to bring
clarity to both buyer and developer in
the form of a real estate regulator bill
which makes real estate investment
more lucrative and regulated
investment option.
Due to the correction phase in real
estate sector and rupee depreciation,
investors can find properties being sold
at half the price of their peak value.
Although the cost of construction has
risen over the past few years and the
compliance cost is also expected to go
up in view of introduction to Real
Estate regulators, buyer’s can still find
properties which are sold at a cheaper
price due to rupee depreciation and
large unsold inventories.
The approach in the current market
scenario should be to invest under
construction residential properties
rather than the constructed ones, in
view of the discounted price of the
former as compared to the latter one.
This is the time when investors should
search for best possible options in
terms of the legality of project,
location, pricing and rental/future
aspects in order to enjoy the best out of
the market.

EXPERT’S ADVICE

Mr. Manish Kumar Shoundik, CEO & Founder of The,
Hailing from Jharkhand started his career in May 2013.
Having a career spanning over 17 years of contribution at
several senior positions in the elds of the banking
sector, nancial management, strategic planning and
business leadership, to make him fully equipped with the
essence of strategic planning, management skills,
understanding and successfully running a startup. His
work stint with banks like Standard Chartered, HDFC,
ABN AMRO and
Deutsche Bank at
various
leadership roles,
contributed in
crafting pillars of
his dream
company Finstem
India Pvt. Ltd. He
took the
challenges of
building the
nascent retail
business with a
strong focus on
the expansion of
distribution and
scale at every
step of his career.
Think Before You Buy
Although, we can ﬁnd properties with
a lot of freebees and payment options
similar to SIP, we also need to look at
the details of the property with respect
to location, track record of the
developer, papers, and approvals in
line with new regulations. A suggestion
would be to buy sensibly rather than
being lured by the lucrative buying
options. After all, it is not only about
the packaging but the quality of the
item being bought.
Over-leveraging in the current market
scenario is a clear no-no, which means
people should only invest the money
which is surplus and ready for
investment rather than being lured by
the market. Investors in the past have
invested out of the pocket while being
caught by lucrative marketing activities
and in turn have burnt their hands
when it came to paying the cost of the
project during the market slowdown.
Investors should take calculative
advantage of the current turmoil in
the residential market, instead of
avoiding it.

E
ngineering is
the greatest award bestowed on
humans. An engineer is a person who designs which works with as few creative, innovative, and imaginative ideas as
possible. They have vision which require guts as no construction and not even a story is created without it. Be a bridge, dam,
building, all of them which should suffice to make known the splendor and brilliance of a nation and they should be robust
enough to be conserved for maximum years possible, and even if it’s susceptible to change the basic structure would remain
as it is.
Engineering always involves the advancement of technology and it is an art where designs and construction being done with
proper organization. Like that, Engineers created Hydraulic Structure which is partially or fully submerged structure which
multi-tasks, that can be used to divert, stop, restrict or manage the natural flow of water. The materials required to construct
can range from large rock and concrete to obscure items. Hydraulic structures amplify conservation practices where
vegetation and constructed channels are not competent to do the job.
The selection of the most suitable and economical kind of structure to use in a specific situation will depend on the hydraulic
parameters of the site which is Discharge and Controlled head.
Hydraulics Structures getting Better
In engineering, things got advanced, machines and their component parts have become stronger, lighter, cheaper and

productive. Component operating pressures have raised, design
like seal and hose has improved the way additive and filtration
technology boosted. Better the materials and manufacturing
techniques, efficient the hydraulic components with high power
densities.
General Electric has planned to launch a four turbine project, which
is going to store energy from the blades of the turbine to gather water
which could generate hydroelectric power which will be first instance
of combining two energies to provide reliable sustainable energy.
Higher operating pressures and closer tolerances are the factors that
leads to hydraulic machine more vulnerable to wear and damage
ensuing from oil contamination and inadequate lubrication. This
leads to the importance of proactive maintenance. The things to
focus on may vary:
Oil Life is the issue that must be talked of as at 110°C and
above for extended periods will turn into black as ink and
smell unmentionable, it emerges the need of hotter oil as it
will rapid the speed of reactions exponentially.
Oil viscosity is the important element for both adequate
lubrication and proficient power transmission.
Seal and hose life, the standard of elastomers used to create
hydraulic seals and hoses are also getting raised.
Types of Hydraulic Structures
A dam is a Hydraulic Structure which holds the water in a reservoir as
potential energy, like a weir is a type of hydraulic structure which can be
utilized to pool water for irrigation, establish grade control or as a new way to divert
the flow away from eroding banks, they are again sub-divided into Gravity Dam, Earth Dam, Rockfill Dam, Weir Dam,
Barrage, Arch, Buttress Dam. In that, some are used for storage and some for diversion purpose.
Factors Affecting Site Selection
Topography could be one of the most important factors as a narrow site will reduce the amount of material required in the
dam which will reduce the cost to invest in. Faults and shears should be not present in the foundation of the dam. This
makes a requirement for the better and expensive foundation which is leads to another factor Geology. Another element to
be inculcated is Appurtenant as the cost of these structures is not high than the cost of the dam, economy in design could be
achieved by considering their consequence at the time of site selection. Site should be chosen where proper water supply,
disposal, electric power should be available while construction is under process, so Local Condition is too crucial. Easy
excess to all these factors will be a great relief for the contractors and engineers.
Pursuit and Purpose of Dams
Various aims could be there to construct a dam, be it the production of electricity; water storage for irrigation or human
consumption; flood management; and also navigation and recreation. With the dam, majorly production of Hydroelectricity
is done which offers a great advantage in electric networks to adapt the power supply to quickest changes in power demand.
A huge crowd surrounds the area which is exposed to the flood, the usage of dams for flood control should be raised.
Experts advise dams shall be built for the sake of unpredictable weather conditions from drought condition to heavy rainfalls
and that will also ensure the stability of power grids as large dams are good at storing energy.

he entire human history and
Tanthropology is full of
evidences as to how intelligent
human beings have given rise to new
technology and how they utilized that
new technology to further our chances
of survival. The technological
development has reached such a phase
now where human survival is
something which is taken for granted.
The enormous size of human
population is a testimony to that fact. If
it wasn’t for the newer drugs and
equipments and procedures we would
have still been dying of minor diseases
like diarrhea. This is just one example
as to how deep an impact the new
inventions and technological
developments have had on human life
at large.
Technology, of its own accord, cannot
reach the millions and millions of
human beings. It needs some assistance
from another aspect of human
interaction i.e. Economy. In today’s
parlance Economy and Market go hand
in hand. The Market forces have been
instrumental in the spread of newer
technologies to the grass roots. The
combination of these two factors has
had a humongous impact on our
individual, social, political and

But this wasn’t the case if you travel
only a few hundred years back. The
current phase of technological and
economical development could be
traced back to the period which is

single word to describe them. Honestly
speaking the rest of the world is still
catching up with them.
So where does India stand in all of
this? We are a developing country and
currently among the emerging
economies of the world. The tag of
“Developing country” means we are
among those who are still catching up
with the developed world. But the tag
of ‘Emerging Economy’ gives that
much of a positive outlook about our
future prospects.
Now keeping this larger picture in
mind we can now discuss as to how
Indian entrepreneurs can make it big in
the Global arena. Last year was hailed
as a year of Start-ups for India. With
the change of political guard and a new
found optimism of “Achchhe Din”
young Indians have indeed come
forward with their skills and courage in
the business arena. It would be a bit
too early to reach a judgement about
the viability and success that these
start-ups will have in the long run. We
need to give them some time before
they can establish themselves in the
market, domestic as well as global!
However there is this undeniable trend
among these start-ups that not many
among them are based on Inventions or
something Substantially New. What I
mean by ‘Substantially New’ is
something which can have a Global
impact. Something which might
fundamentally change the way we do
things. The period of Industrial
Revolution is abound with such
examples. For example Telephone
completely changed the way we
communicate with people. And if
telephone seems to be an example from
the distant past then we can consider
Internet and Mobile technology which
has further fundamentally changed the
way we do things. None of the Start-
ups that have come up in the last year
in India show such a promise.
Unfortunately most of our Start-ups are
kind of Imitation ventures. For
example online shopping websites like
Flipkart, Snapdeal. They are the ideal
representatives of the Indian start-ups
although they are more than a few
years old now. There are limitations to
such ventures because as soon as
domestic market is opened up to
similar players in the global arena (e.g.
Amazon) there is always a chance that
our smaller fishes will be swallowed up
by the bigger ones.
To be fare to our young generation of
entrepreneurs they do have all the skill
sets and leadership qualities to make a
huge impact in the global arena. Our
young minds are fed with the same
knowledge about how to run a business
as do those in the West. Our business
schools are imparting quality
knowledge to its students which can
help them become great business
persons of the future. So problem of
Indian Start-ups does not lie in the
qualities that the individual
entrepreneurs possess but in lack of an
organized effort at a national level to
do well in the extremely competitive
global economy.
An organized effort at national level
means a synchronized, complementary
and harmonious movement of the
major players in the country’s
economy i.e. the Political will,
Research and Development efforts and
the Market forces. Research and
Development should give our young
creative minds enough incentives to
explore and come up with new
inventions rather than make do with
'The Jugad’ method which is a
buzzword of today’s young generation.
These new technological inventions
will then require the assistance of
market forces in order to penetrate the
grass roots of our domestic as well as
global market. The abundance of
political will in last couple of years has
been a major advantage that the young
entrepreneurs can make the most of.
In absence of this organized effort our
Indian start ups are facing competition
from an organized research and
development industry of the Western
world which is well supplied with
finances from the transnational private
players which are hungry for more and
more profits. The already established
industrial giants have the capacity to
eat our young start ups in absence of
new inventions. No matter how good
the managerial skills and leadership
qualities the individual might have,
there are limits to what they can do
alone.
This opinion may smell of an IP
professionals bias towards Research
and Development but if we turn some
pages of history then this bias might
well be justified.

Information Technology is
redesigning & revamping the
Energy & Utility (E&U) sector in
every aspect. The world is
transforming power sources to green,
renewable energy radicals and is
implementing complex demanding
management methods. IT is working as
a catalyst & a critical engine in the
transitions, whether implementing
Advanced Metering Infrastructure
(AMI) solutions, addressing the
customer management environment, or
managing other key areas in power
generation, distribution and customer
services stratum.
The catalyst is contributing in the
energy sector through the dedicated
combination of both software &
hardware designed in conjunction with
the energy industry. The energy sector
has implemented Internet of Things
(IoT) to change the way we consume,
generate, transmit and distribute energy
in the connected era. The Present
connected energy market, which
includes applications related to the
generation and transportation of
electrical energy, micro-generation,
smart grid and distribution monitoring
and smart metering, is estimated to be
worth around USD$11.7 billion. This
huge investment and potential market
conditions have driven the
development of the “Smart Grid,” and
further technological developments
have made it more practical. The smart
grid is an electricity generation,
transmission and distribution network
enhanced by automated (digital)
controls, auditing and
telecommunications capabilities. It has
enabled automated, bidirectional flow
of information while providing
real-time, two-way flow of electrical
energy. Consequently, the stakeholders
involved in the electricity chain–from
generation plant to dwelling, industrial
and commercial users–gain insight of
both electrical power flow and the
infrastructure transporting it.
Existing infrastructure is becoming
smarter with the deployment of new
digital equipment and smart devices.
This new intelligence is connecting all

electrical assets and forming a smart
world of complex equipment which
can be described as an ‘Internet of
Watts’ – but which is, in fact, an
example of the Internet of Things (IoT)
in action. The IoT has helped in
establishing internet connectivity with
energy producing plants, equipment
and devices. IoT is also connecting
these devices to intelligent networks
and using data analytics to extract
meaningful and actionable insights
from devices. In the context of the
smart grid technology, this means
allocating computing intelligence
throughout the infrastructure. Smart
grid provides a wide range of
operations which start with embedded
sensors used in wind turbine vanes that
control its pitch, rotation & function in
real-time response to changing wind
conditions, to sub-station control
systems that respond promptly to
events and minimizes production
downtime primarily occurs due to
network disturbances.in both cases.
However, the real vision/beauty of
Internet of Things (IoT) is that it
develops spaces or opportunities to
realize the potential of data gathered
through the cloud that resides in
existing un-interfaced infrastructures,
using data analysis to extract insight
and intelligence from smart devices.
After data compilation from every
aspect of the electricity supply chain,
system engineers can implement
simulation models, powerful analytics
and what-if scenarios to create precise
predictions about grid status &
associated conditions. Possibilities
associated with predictive analytics
and its transition operation from
reactive to proactive are the deﬁning
and most important features of a smart
grid. It enables electrical companies
and grid system operators to utilize
smart grid technology in:
Trimming Capital Expenses
With the advent of IoT in smart grid, a
precise match between demand and
supply across the grid becomes
possible. The companies associated
with electricity generation become able
to meet peak demand without
redundant generation of electricity and
at the same time can also trace efﬁcient
distribution paths, minimizing
transmission costs and ensuring
optimum asset operation.
Call-for Management
Deeper insight into consumption
arrangement in combination with smart
grids predictive ability allows
implementation of the large number of
energy conservation initiatives,
including demand-response, time-of-
day usage fees and dynamic pricing.
Smart grids are maintaining a proper
balance between demand & supply and
minimize the wastage caused by over-
provisioning by base or peak load.
Higher Renewable Capability
Renewable energy, whether generated
from onshore or offshore, can be
incorporated into the energy mix.
Services can interact effectively to

intermittency through the industrial-
scale renewable plant as well as with
small-scale distributed generation
while ensuring the security of
continuous supply.
Decrease in Maintenance Costs
Having a deeper look into the activity
of various processes involved in
electricity generation, transmission and
asset distribution enables
implementation of rapid processes used
while diagnosing remote faults,
minimizes the need of frequent site
visits and enable high predictive
maintenance for more efficient
technical support provided by
engineering teams on areas of greatest
need.
Comply with Regulations
By having greater the inclination
towards the use of renewable energy,
supporting more efficient methods of
energy generation, transmission,
distribution and aiding more efficient
ways for lesser consumption;
digitalization of electricity and utility
companies can meet regulatory
obligations along with reducing carbon
emissions. Implementation of smart
grids in the electrical industry can help
in the emission reduction to 20 percent
below the 1990 levels by the year
2020, to 54-68 percent below 1990
levels by 2030, and to nearly 100
percent below 2020 levels by 2050.
Augment User Engagement
Competition inside the deregulated
markets and energy savings targets of
certain regulated markets can be
overcome through the implementation
of smart grids. Electrical companies
are using the smart grids as a solution
in developing an accurate picture of
customers’ usage patterns to develop
more sophisticated & tailored products
and service offerings.
The smart grid technology is helping
electrical companies in developing
capabilities to proffer tomorrow’s
technology solutions in the E&U
domain. However, there is still a huge
runway for growth. Smart grid
technology can enormously encourage
operators to act now to capitalize this
clear market opportunity with the
development in the IoT.

WEATHERIZATION
PROGRAM
- NEED, INSIGHT,
AND IMPLEMENTATION
| NOVEMBER 201742

Insights into Weatherization
procedure
Typically following steps are taken:
Step1: In the Weatherization process
home’s audit is done. The auditor
keeps focus on to check:
• Areas like windows, pipes, wiring
that penetrate ceiling and floor,
doors, sealing cracks, etc., for high-
potential heat loss.
• Light fixtures near attic space
• heat loss due to air-duct
• dampers of the exhaust fans
• pipe condition
• wall, floor, and ceilings condition
• door and window sealings
• and more
An auditor then proposes the changes
which can make home more energy
efficient.
Step2: Utility companies call for a bid
to implement changes from its
qualified contractor network.
Step3: A selected contractor
implements changes in the home.
Step4: Utility company asks its
inspector to validate the changes
incorporated in the home.
Step5: Once the inspector approves the
changes then the Utility company pays
to the contractor.
The normal flow mentioned above
might need to adjust to handle cases
where low-earning families are not
meeting income, age, earnings, etc
criteria.
Implementation of the
Weatherization Program
While implementing the solution, we
considered a list of actors. These are:
• Administrator
• Customer
• Auditor
• Inspector
• Contractor
These actors are using the web-based
portal and mobile application. The
web-based application is developed on
the Windows platform. The mobile
application is developed using
Xamarin.
The web-based portal works under the
contemporary browsers. The mobile
application works on iOS and Android.
Summary
The solution is designed and developed
mainly for the US residential market.
However, the author believes the
similar need does exist in all markets
including India.
or energy saving, a
FWeatherization program is
quite common to implemented
by the Utility companies in the western
part of the world. The program is
mainly run for the low-earning
families. This article emphasize on
IWORKTECH’s experience on
building a platform for the US-based
company.
What is weatherization?
As per Wiki, Weatherization
(American English) or weatherproofing
(British English) is the practice of
protecting a building and its interior
from the elements, particularly from
sunlight, precipitation, and wind, and
of modifying a building to reduce
energy consumption and optimize
energy efficiency.
Why the weatherization needed?
One thinks that if my house is well
insulated than I am good as far as the
heat protection of the home is a
concern. It is true that various types of
insulation can block drafts of the cold
winds and protect the home. It gives
protection from the “Conductive” heat
flow.
We still need weatherization to protect.
It primarily reduces “Convective” heat
flow.
