Bureau Services at a 5 star hotel, India

A luxury hotel in India wanted comprehensive information about the energy consumption and its trend mapped with the source of supply. The automated meter reading system installed by us and the information provided by it led to a saving of Rs. 0.5 million. They were able to reduce their dependence on the diesel generator, reducing the total energy costs.

Distribution reforms and metering

The vertically integrated State Electricity Boards were created for generation, transmission and distribution of electricity as per the provision of the Indian Electricity Act. This structure has yielded reasonable results with respect to rural electrification but supply of power below cost of supply to various categories of consumers resulted in bankruptcy of almost all the electricity boards in the country.

Energy Audit at Government Building Complex

Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) has implemented the Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC) for commercial buildings and complexes.

Harmonics in power system and metering

The issue of harmonics is debated at various levels. Harmonics are generated in the system. Generally the effect of harmonics is studied in voltage or current. The current harmonics flow in the system generates voltage harmonics which results into power harmonics. Power harmonics are than measured by energy meters. The flow of power harmonics and it effect on the energy measurement is discussed in this paper.

Interoperability standard for energy meters - an indian experience

The electricity utilities all over the world have invested huge sum of money in electronic metering assets over the past two decades or so. The primary motivation to switch to electronic metering has been the potential use of the information that these meters could provide. The data provided by most of the electronic meters can not only be used for billing, but also be harnessed for a host of other business processes like revenue protection, tariff design, energy accounting, load analysis,

kvah metering magic solution or an aberration

The search for innovative solutions has lead to the concept of kVAh metering. Measurement of kVAh and related tariffs are expected to help in reducing reactive currents in the system by commercially motivating consumers to install reactive compensation at their premises.

Prepayment Metering System

Prepayment or pay as you go system is receiving more and more attention worldwide as utilities are looking at ways to improve customer service, improve their cash flow and minimize their risks. The concept of prepaid remains the same but there is going to be a paradigm shift in the application.

Transition from Electricity Postpaid system to Prepayment: From Consumer to Customer

Indian utilities are actively pursuing migration from the present post paid revenue cycle management system to the prepayment electricity based system. The distribution companies in restructured electricity market have done pilots and field trials to access the acceptability of the system on small consumer base.
