The power distribution segment in India is undergoing significant transformation, driven by advancements in technology and constant search for efficient and sustainable energy management solutions. Several new and emerging technologies are being adopted to improve the distribution infrastructure, enhance grid reliability, enable renewable energy integration and empower consumers with smart solutions. These include advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), distribution automation solutions, internet of things (IoT), analytics and artificial intelligence (AI). These solutions aid in boosting the efficiency and productivity of the power sector in a big way. Earlier, the majority of operations and distribution processes in the power sector were manual, which led to poor control, lack of transparency and unreliable information, resulting in enormous power loss.
Smart grids: Smart grid technology that integrates advanced communication, control and monitoring systems into the traditional power grid infrastructure is increasingly being adopted by utilities. It leverages information technology and real-time data analysis to optimise generation, distribution and consumption of electricity. One of the key components of a smart grid is AMI, which involves the installation of smart meters that provide real-time energy consumption data to both consumers and utilities.
