India is a major force in the global energy economy. Growing population, industrialization and continued urbanization are fueling the growth of energy consumption, making the country the second-largest energy consumer in the world. India is also the world’s third largest producer of energy. In recent years, over 900 million Indian citizens have gained an electrical connection, which has considerably enhanced the quality of life for these people. To meet the rising demand for electricity, India will need to modernize its current infrastructure further and Iskraemeco sees a huge potential in accelerating and facilitating the transition in India’s energy industry.

First project in India with end-to-end solution

Iskraemeco is proud to play an important part in transforming India’s electricity grid with the country’s first end-to-end solution project. Our goal was to support our customer with a complete solution. The project, to be executed in the north-eastern Indian state of Nagaland, includes the delivery of smart meters, an RF communication gateway, device installation, integration with Symbiot software suite, and the
development of a prepayment application.

Our end-to-end solution will be highly advantageous to the utility in terms of billing and collection, as it will boost the utility’s billing and collection efficiency, which has been identified as one of its challenges. Iskraemeco will also provide a stable RF based solution in the Nagaland area, which lacks good 4G mobile coverage. Both Symbiot MDM and Symbiot FieldAssist have a great potential for ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the grid. In line with this project, a smart prepayment solution is being developed at our Technology Design Center in Kolkata, India. A consumer prepayment application that will be integrated with the utility’s billing software is currently under development.

As the utility needed a single point of contact for this end-to-end solution, we will include the meter-to-billing and meter-to-cash processes in our end-to-end smart prepayment solution which will utilize the
RF communication network with SLA up to 99,5% percent. The RF module facilitates the connection of the utility’s communication network with a distribution automation solution. The extension of Symbiot HES and MDM licenses presents more commercial options.
