IoT, M2M better power sector ops The use of smart technologies like IoT, AI and M2M has brought an end to Discoms and power consumers’ woes to a large extent. Smart meters have led to an improvement in the efficiencies of power utilities and brought comfort of consumer experiences. There is also a need to upgrade traditional power grids to smart grids that can control and manage electricity at all levels. Over a period, the power sector in the country has been plagued with poor efficiency and grid problems. As a result of this, consumers have invariably been at the receiving end and they have to bear huge losses. The unsatisfactory customer experiences and evermounting queries/complaints at Discoms have been alarming. The transmission and distribution companies (Discoms)have not only been the victims of power losses, but monetary losses as well.
With advancements in technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine to Machine learning (M2M), a simplified exchange of data within various stages of utility functionalities is now possible. Varied solutions like smart grid and smart meters etc. are now available to help save significant amount of energy and money.
With advancements in technologies, such as IoT, AI and Machine to Machine learning, a simplified exchange of data within various stages of utility functionalities is now possible. Both, the utility and the consumers, can access the real-time data through a customized mobile app. This smart solution eliminates any chance of error due to human interference. Smart grids reduce the downtime of electricity supply due to any natural calamity by locating the fault and intimating the utility about it within seconds.
