1. Understanding the Scale of the Issue India's Transmission and Distribution (T&D) losses are among the highest globally, estimated to be around 20-25%. This translates to a significant economic burden, with estimated losses exceeding $20 (~INR2000) billion per year. These losses significantly impact the nation's economy and the reliability of power supply. Breakdown of Losses: …

A 5 MW solar power plant in Western India faced monitoring challenges, lacking real-time data for key components. Partnering with OrxaGrid, the plant utilized an advanced Grid Analytics Platform (GAP) to enhance efficiency through real-time data monitoring. This collaboration improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and optimized energy production and asset management.
The way we manage utilities is undergoing a transformation. Gone are the days of meter readers trekking through neighbourhoods to manually record consumption. Today, both Automated Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) offer automated solutions, but AMI takes things a significant step further. Let's delve into the world of smart meters and explore …

the monitoring and performance analysis of solar plants is the necessary part in the perspective of utility and industrial levels. The visualization of assets is more critical in the current scenario because if the visualization of assets is not scalable, robust and smooth it will increase the operation and maintenance costs.
Distribution Utilities are obligated to reliably provide round-the-clock electricity to their consumers. With increasingly complex electricity networks, a result of rising energy demand and bi-directional flow of electricity due to increasing use of low carbon energy resources (wind, solar, etc.), Utilities must enhance system reliability for consistent 24x7 power to end customers. While faults and …

The Central Transmission Utility (CTU) is an important facet of the electricity transmission sector. The Electricity Act, 2003, the legislation which determines the governance of the electricity sector in India, has allocated various important functions to the CTU. Among others, these functions include: (a) undertaking transmission of electricity through the inter-state transmission network, (b) planning …
In earlier blog, we discussed in detail a major problem plaguing the electricity sector in India – ensuring financial viability of Distribution Utilities (DISCOMs). We noted how this objective has long been a policy focus for successive governments and discussed a new Central Government scheme aimed at ensuring financial viability of DISCOMs; a scheme which …
