WORLD CLASS TECHNOLOGIES
@ TATA POWER-DDL:

  • Advanced Distribution Management System or ADMS
    Close

    Advance Distribution Management System (ADMS) is a single integrated system which will facilitate advanced monitoring, analysis, as well as control and planning, thereby enabling Tata Power-DDL to enhance the reliability, safety and efficiency of the power for the consumers. This system has advanced features of reporting outages and intimating to customers upfront. This system facilitates system controller as well as maintenance team for faster restoration of supply.

  • Geographical Information System
    Close

    Geographical Information System (GIS) is a foundational technology and single source to have repository of network, asset and consumer indexing for Tata Power-DDL. The data of this system gets integrated with ADMS, FFA, ERP, AMI, etc. for successful functioning of respective systems. This system enables delivering of results in terms of reliable & quality power along with advanced services and timely information to the consumers.

  • Smart Meter
    Close

    Smart Meters are basic building blocks of Smart Grid. This technology encompasses Communication System (RF in Tata Power-DDL’s case) and Data Handling Technologies (Meter Data Management System). Tata Power-DDL is implementing Smart Metering Technology (Advanced Metering Infrastructure-AMI) to bring operation efficiency in different IT and OT domains. This technology will bring transparency to consumers in terms of their consumption per month and monitoring of other critical parameters like MDI and PF on an instant basis. For Tata Power-DDL, it enables easy detection of pilferage and loss reduction. This last mile link will complete Smart Grid implementation by Tata Power-DDL.

  • Smart Street Light Management System
    Close

    Tata Power-DDL jointly is working on a project for achieving a reduction in the demand of street lighting which coincides with peak load, thereby reducing the overall peak demand, improving the lux levels, improving the power factor and checking the carbon foot print as a responsibility to the society. This will translate into considerable saving to the exchequers. This system is entirely managed through a Smart Centralized Control & Monitoring System which can identify partially or completely affected streetlight circuits on a real-time basis and the type/nature of fault, thereby alerting the maintenance team without any requirement of consumer complaints for such purpose. This will enhance safety & security of general public. It can also detect pilferage from street light circuits and generate alerts.

  • Field Force Automation
    Close

    Customer service through mobile workforce is the key to exceed the expectations of the consumer. Field Force Automation (FFA) is a system which optimizes the various tasks in hand and schedules & dispatches the nearest Crew to provide faster service to the consumers. This system not only enhances the service level but also completely tracks the allocation of workforce.
