Client Context
The Electricity Department of Puducherry was laboring
with old metering systems characterized by error prone
manual meter reading, lack of visibility of peak demand
periods and inefficiencies in energy accounting due to
tampering issues and power theft. The issue was further
compounded by ever increasing demand for electricity,
which the utility was unable to match, and an inadequate
distribution network with high overheads. A smart grid was
envisaged for the city of Puducherry to reduce distribution
losses, improve electricity efficiency in the grid as well
as at energy users homes and offices, and enable twoway digital communication to monitor devices associated
with the grid from a centralized control center. The smart
grid would also bring equilibrium to the demand-supply
relationship, increase reliability by improving response
time to outages and enhance operational efficiency. The
utility would also be able to monitor energy consumption in
real-time leading to speedy identification and resolution of

Results
The smart grid project at Puducherry
has delivered multiple benefits to the
Electricity Department of Puducherry
as well as to end users. The pilot has
laid the communication infrastructure in
place for deployment of peak demand
reduction program which is presently
under
implementation.
