Business Situation
Our client is amongst the first power distribution companies in the private sector in India. It procures power from a power generating company and distributes the same to a large industrial user base.

The customer wanted to develop an application that would implement an energy audit process whereby they could reconcile input energy with the quantum of energy consumed in down stream distribution. This would benefit the customer to minimize energy loss and maintain high revenue collection efficiency. The customer chose Smallworld technology together with PTI/PSS engines to map the distribution network & build Power Network Analysis capabilities.

Scope of Work
The customer wanted a sophisticated yet simple technology which would map his network, provide outage management services, design work orders & provide network analysis services like load flow analysis, short circuit studies, voltage drop analysis, optimal location and capacity of shunt/series capacitors, optimal number and location of voltage regulators, computation of losses in feeders, Power Loss Analysis etc.

The customer wanted a leading edge technology that was globally proven, robust and tailor made for Indian conditions.
