Tata Power-DDL partners with Autogrid for AI-based management system

Tata Power Delhi Distribution (Tata Power-DDL) has joined hands with California-based AutoGrid to deploy an artificial intelligence-enabled smart energy management system in Delhi.

The two firms are jointly launching a behavioural demand response program for the former’s residential customers to decrease peak demand and network capital costs. This pilot project strives to empower customers, by assisting them to understand their consumption patterns and estimate the effectiveness of demand response (DR) programs.

Demand Response (DR) programs strive to shift energy consumption from peak hours of the day to leaner demand periods by providing environmental and economic incentives to the consumers for their cooperation.

Participating customers can control their consumption, and freely decide to turn down non-essential loads to lessen total load at peak times. In this method, they will also be able to optimise their monthly electricity bills.

To estimate the acceptability of this program and enhance customer participation, Tata Power will also offer attractive incentives to customers based on their participation level in the pilot program. The pilot results will then be shared with the state regulator (DERC) to determine suitable incentives which can be applicable for all customers.

Ganesh Srinivasan, CEO, Tata Power-DDL, told the media that with the help of this pilot program, the firm aims to provide more control in the hands of the consumers. This initiative will help their goal to create a resource-efficient, greener electrical grid through smart tech integration.

The program will be launched for a duration of 3 months, from 1 July to 30 September, in the first phase with 4,000 residential consumers with smart meter connections. Interested consumers would be notified a day in advance through email, SMS and calls.

Depending on the recognition and success of the pilot, the program would be extended as well, in a phased manner to the following sections -- automated demand response leveraging residential air conditioning systems and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system at commercial and industrial areas, Integration of energy storage, solar PV, electrical vehicles, other DERs for grid balancing and stabilisation, microgrids and site optimisation for Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) applications, commercial and industrial site optimisation for EaaS.

Handling concrete better

Efficiently handling the transportation and placement of concrete is essential to help maintain the quality of construction, meet project timelines by minimising downtimes, and reduce costs – by 5 to 15 per cent, according to Sandeep Jain, Director, Arkade Developers. CW explores what the efficient handling of concrete entails.Select wellFirst, a word on choosing the right equipment, such as a mixer with a capacity aligned to the volume required onsite, from Vaibhav Kulkarni, Concrete Expert. “An overly large mixer will increase the idle time (and cost), while one that ..

Elevated floors!

Raised access flooring, also called false flooring, is a less common interiors feature than false ceilings, but it has as many uses – if not more.A raised floor is a modular panel installed above the structural floor. The space beneath the raised flooring is typically used to accommodate utilities such as electrical cables, plumbing and HVAC systems. And so, raised flooring is usually associated with buildings with heavy cabling and precise air distribution needs, such as data centres.That said, CW interacted with designers and architects and discovered that false flooring can come in handy ..

The Variation Challenge

A variation or change in scope clause is defined in construction contracts to take care of situations arising from change in the defined scope of work. Such changes may arise due to factors such as additions or deletions in the scope of work, modifications in the type, grade or specifications of materials, alterations in specifications or drawings, and acts or omissions of other contractors. Further, ineffective planning, inadequate investigations or surveys and requests from the employer or those within the project’s area of influence can contribute to changes in the scope of work. Ext..
