The Uttarakhand Power Corporation Ltd (UPCL) is working on a plan to establish Real Time Data Acquisition System (RT-DAS) at 215 sub-stations across the state under the RDSS scheme.
The RT-DAS system will be installed at all those sub-stations across the state where population is less than 25000.
Till date, the system has been installed at a total of 126 sub-stations in the state, which mainly includes areas like Ranipokhari, Jollygrant, Tyuni, Laltappad, Selaqui, Chipalghat, Raiwala and Chakisain, and the work of installing the RT-DAS system at the remaining sub-stations will be completed in a phased manner in the coming months.
Along with this, the UPCL has been using the RT-DAS system at 106 sub-stations in 66 cities across the state under the IPDS scheme. Due to which, at present, a total of 232 sub-stations of UPCL have become hi-tech by installing the system.
After successful implementation of RT-DAS system, all sub-stations will be monitored on real time basis, which will be quite successful in reducing the power outages, UPCL Managing Director Anil Yadav said.
Apart from this, the possibility of power outages in emergency can also be avoided by maintaining the breakers on time on the basis of the tripping number of breakers installed in the sub-stations. The information collected through RT-DAS is transmitted on real time basis to the nodal agency (M/s PFC). RT-DAS has been integrated with the call center, under which the CSR gets information about feeder outage, which helps in providing accurate information about power interruption to the consumers.
“In the era of digitalization, with the support of the Central Government and the efforts of the State Government, the power distribution system is being strengthened and modernized through various schemes implemented by UPCL under the guidance of the Secretary (Energy) R Meenakshi Sunderam,” a UPCL official said.
