The economic viability of a power transmission and distribution utility depends on its ability to measure and control the energy utilisation and the realisation from operations. The loss assessment in different parts of the network point to areas of concern. In-depth analysis of the energy flow parameters through the network assets provides the decision making capability and enables them to manage the assets.

This requires documenting of the network assets, their ratings and inter-connectivity. Meter reading data is the other important input which gives measured parameters at different intervals and time span. Analysis is done by correlating all the parameter; driven by the subject matter expertise to and a desire to achieve economic viability.
