In global utilities, information technology plays a central role in best of class distribution utility as the platform for execution of business processes and the information base for decision making at operational and strategic levels. A huge investments will be required to attain global standards but given the financial position of utilities in India, this much investment is not feasible at one go. …

Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind two important renewable energy sources reached grid parity in 2010. This means that these renewables no longer need subsidies or government support for their growth. India is a tropical country that is blessed with ample solar power reception (6 lakh GW). This article has rectified the flaw and propose a metering and tariff policy that would foster widespread growth of solar roof-top in a diverse democratic country such as India. - Vithal Kamat, Nivea Chauhan Harsh Bhatt Payal Bhadresa Akash Senta

India still needs to add about 218 Giga Watt power to satisfy electricity demand for year 2016-17 and 298 GW for year 2021-22. As renewable energy is becoming more accessible, electric power is decentralising. So, the solution to overcome the challenge lies in Micro-Grid (Gram Power) development... - Prof. Harpreet Singh, Prof. Rahul Shankar Bhagat

It is fact that the unit of electric energy generated by power station does not match with the units distributed to the consumers. Some percentage of the units is lost in the distribution network. This difference in the generated & distributed units is known as transmission and distribution loss…

With the increasing size and complexity of the transmission networks, the performance of the power systems decreases due to problems related with the load flow, power oscillations and voltage quality. Flexible AC Transmission (FACTS) offers effective schemes to meet these demands...  - Dr G D Kamalapur

One of the greatest and the most obvious problem that India & the other developing countries are facing today is the increasing demand of electricity and its poor supply. The rising gap between demand and supply of electricity is the major factor of concern to developing countries like India. The power generation cannot be increased over night, and involves lot of investments. However, the present day scenario can be improved if we apply some more scientific techniques and methods to reduce power loss in distribution system. - Rahul Sharma
