Hyderabad, India - November 19, 2001
Infotech Enterprises Limited Hyderabad ( BSE : INFOENT NSE: INFOTECENT),
India's leading supplier of end- to-end GIS software solutions has
bagged a major order from Noida Power Company Limited to deploy
end to end integrated software solution for "Electrical network
analysis package to be embedded within GIS".
The project includes Total Network Mapping over the land base,
Facilities Maintenance Management, Facilities Outage Management,
Job Planning and Design, Trouble Call Management, and Network Analysis.
The project is planned with one Central Server at the central office
for updating of GIS Network Data and Network analysis and ten viewing
and querying clients in the existing set up. The scope of the project
includes, mapping of the entire electrical network being operated
and maintained by NPCL. The application is WEB enabled and the remote
users can access the data through the WEB. This is the first time
ever any Power distribution company in India has embarked on such
a solution.
Infotech will implement GE Small world GIS solution and Power Technology
Inc. along with PSS/EnginesTM (PTI product). The GUI based solution
will provide ease of operation, improve operational efficiency and
productivity by enabling network management as an online feature,
including critical calculations of power flow analysis, voltage
profile, system loss etc, based on the loading characteristics peculiar
to an integrated electrical system. A direct outcome will be, streamlined
and optimized job planning and control in each of the spheres of
new connections, network construction/ maintenance and supply outages
with the least turn-around time.
This is the first implementation of GE-Smallworld in an Indian
electricity utility. What is unique is also that project not only
builds the application around the product but also encompasses the
complete end-to-end requirement of Noida Power right from land base
mapping to seamless integration of complex Network Analysis data
with GIS, SCADA and other back office operations like billing and
inventory systems.
Commenting on the project Mr. Neogi, CEO of NPCL said: "The
GIS software will be an important tool in building a network information
base that will integrate into the Company's Distribution Management
System having inputs from on-line modules from other functional
areas. The ultimate objective is to build a technology platform
that will support complex network solutions as well as daily work
management practices and facilitate customer service. Implementation
of GIS is one big step in this direction.
Commenting on the order Chairman & Managing Director - Infotech
Enterprises, Mr. BVR Mohan Reddy said " We are very pleased
with the order from NPCL for it is the first GIS implementation
for Power Distribution industry in India. GE Small world, which
has an extensive presence in the Power sector worldwide, is an ideal
choice for NPCL, a Power Distribution company. At Infotech, we believe
that this is just the beginning for many more implementations in
the Indian Power Industry".
