State Reports (Vol.-III)
Study on `Impact of Restructuring of SEBs’
The module as described above is designed as a part of the computerised information
system and such a system is in place in Maharashtra. The following procedure could
be adopted in manual mode in respect of all EHV S/S, all express feeders, all MIDC
areas, all DTCs in urban areas (where meters are provided on the DTC) to achieve
faster results.
• At every location where staff is available for round the clock operation
(generating stations, EHV sub-stations, etc.), primary data of meter reading,
registering the energy input and output through an electric equipment as
recorded, could be checked for working out the difference between incoming
energy and outgoing energy through the equipment, or input on the bus and
outgoing through a set of more than one element on an hourly basis. The same
procedure is suggested in respect of an express feeder, if not possible every hour
then at least at the beginning of each shift, ensuring three such readings per day
for comparison.
• If any express feeder is emanating from an unmanned location, the energy meter
readings of meters at both ends could be recorded at a pre-defined round hour.
The frequency of recording such readings in a week could be decided on
considerations of quantum of energy supplied from such express feeder.
• Energy meters of all consumers connected to a DTC and the energy meter on the
incoming of the DTC should be read on the same day in same reading cycle.
The reading of input energy meter on DTC and summated energy consumption
of all consumers connected to the DTC as computed by the billing programme
comprising of two parts, viz.: total energy in respect of meters actually read and
total assessed consumption in respect of meters not read, as computed by
computerised billing programme could be made available in digital format from
the billing computer.
• In MIDC areas, the programme of meter reading should be so coordinated that
readings in respect of energy meters of express feeders, HT feeders, HT
consumers is done on the same day at a pre-defined round hour. Also meter
readings of all DTCs in MIDC area and consumers connected to it at LT level
should be taken within a couple of hours on either side of this pre-defined
round hour. This meter reading data from the billing computer is to be made
available for use in energy audit in digital format directly without any human
intervention/manipulation.
