Tata Power is India's largest integrated private power utility operating across generation, transmission, distribution and power trading. It faces challenges like aging infrastructure, regulatory mandates to reduce losses, and increasing pressure on reliability. Tata Power has implemented automation solutions like a unified SCADA system for transmission, a distribution automation system, and automated meter reading to address these challenges and improve performance, reliability, and operational efficiency. Key performance indicators like CAIDI, CAIFI and SAIFI are monitored to track progress.

Only 8–12% of customers report a power outage to their utility. Utilities that integrate Automated Metering Systems (AMI) data into outage management systems receive faster and more accurate reports about power outages, can better predict the extent of the outage, and more reliably verify service restoration. This paper discusses practical considerations when integrating AMI for outage management, including compliance testing, data quantity and quality, analysis issues, and best practices learned from experience.
How the Convergence of IT and OT Enables Smart Grid DevelopmentSchneider Electric
The goal for any utility that invests in smart grid technology is to attain higher efficiency and reliable performance.
A smart grid platform implies the convergence of Operations Technology (OT) – the grid physical infrastructure assets and applications–and Information Technology (IT) – the human interface that enables rapid and informed decision making.
This paper describes best practices for migrating to a scalable, adaptable, smart grid network.
[White Paper] Europe’s Window of Opportunity for Terminal OperatorsSchneider Electric
As Europe is going through an unprecedented financial and economic crisis,
the oil and gas industry continues to face an uncertain business environment.
Another recession could lead to reduced demand and further increase the
pressure on margins in downstream operations. This has suppliers and buyers
looking to exploit any operational efficiency they can.
Terminal operators play a critical role in helping suppliers and buyers achieve
those efficiencies, and can benefit their own operations while doing so. To gain
a competitive edge, terminal operators need to be mindful of the big trends
in the industry and make sure that their Terminal Automation System (TAS)
is capable of supporting state-of-the-art supply management systems that
suppliers intend to use in order to maximize their efficiency. And for most TAS,
a simple configuration change is all it takes to achieve this.
Smart Grid is a domain that straddles several technologies. This is an attempt to present a quick outline of the relevant technologies. The presentation also includes a bird's eye view of the key smart grid players including large companies, start-ups and power utilities.
Smart Grid The Role of Electricity Infrastructure in Reducing Greenhouse Gas ...Gruene-it.org
Most of the world’s electricity system was built when primary energy was relatively inexpensive. Grid reliability was mainly ensured by having excess capacity in the system, with unidirectional electricity flow to consumers from centrally dispatched power plants. Investments in the electric system were made to meet increasing demand—not to change fundamentally the way the system works.
International Standards: The Challenges for an Interoperable Smart GridSchneider Electric
Building an electric energy Smart Grid involves proper interfacing between existing devices, applications and systems – all likely sourced from many different vendors. The resulting interoperability allows valuable advantages, such as the ability to use distribution system demand response (DSDR) to improve the efficiency of delivered power. Interoperability enables automated switching sequences, for system ‘self-healing’ and improved reliability, along with effective integration of distributed renewable and non-renewable resources that can enable peak shaving. Interoperability also is vital for assimilating emerging automation technologies that will enable the utility to realize these benefits in the future – and protect public and private sector technology investments.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines international standards, recognized globally, that characterize interoperability and security of electrical, electronic and related technologies. These standards are created to assure interoperability within all the major power system objects in an electrical utility enterprise and allow mission critical distribution functions to take advantage of real-time data in a secure manner. The IEC standards also enable reliable exchange of data among utilities and across power pools.
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is incorporating IEC standards, and developing new or revised standards, to be applied in its development of a Smart Grid as a national energy goal. This standards framework aims to eliminate the implementation of technologies that might become obsolete prematurely or be implemented without necessary security measures – and help utilities make the infrastructure decisions that reduce cost and energy loss, improve network reliability and embrace technology innovation.

Industrial revolution worldwide. It has resulted in social changes too and raised the standard of living we examine a future distribution system capable of solving problems caused by the connection of numerous distributed generators. A supervisory-control-and-data-acquisition (SCADA) system for this distribution system should be economical, flexible, and reliable, and should execute a real-time process. In this seminar report, we propose a SCADA system using mobile agents for flexibility. In addition, we show two types of communication protocols that make agent migration more fault-tolerant, and perform experiments where the SCADA system executes earth fault protection within the required time. These results indicate that the SCADA system based on our proposed technologies should be capable of fulfilling the real-time processing requirement.
While writing the report on my seminar, I was wondering that Science and technology are as ever expanding field and the engineers working hard day and night and make the life a gift for us

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
