Need for more innovation to be deployed in the power sector
In the face of escalating climate challenges, the grid stands at a critical juncture, necessitating rapid adaptation towards decarbonisation.
With the proliferation of renewable energy sources and the emergence of distributed energy resources, the traditional grid model is undergoing profound shifts.
Embracing this evolution towards decentralisation is not merely an option but an urgent imperative for ensuring energy sustainability and resilience in the years ahead.
The call for transformation reverberates louder than ever, demanding bold action and innovative solutions to navigate the complexities of our changing energy landscape.

Successful Pilots
By Our Startups
DRMZ Tech
Smart Energy Meter retrofit pilot
Utility: BSES
DRMZ developed a cost-effective 6LoWPAN smart meter retrofit for BSES Rajdhani's diverse meter network. Retrofitting to DLMS protocol, it enables data consolidation. Each module connects up to 50 meters, minimizing network charges. Expected savings over 5 years per retrofit: Rs. 7791. Potential total savings: Rs. 467 Crore in 25% network rollout.
Village Energy's pilot plan with APSPDCL aims to reduce supply costs by 30% using low-cost solar energy, increase consumption by 6%, meet 50% of daytime demand from solar sources, and achieve peak load reduction by 13%. The solution includes IoT devices, demand management, and digital billing for improved efficiency and customer satisfaction.
The pilot project with Tata Power-DDL involved installing Smart Optimizers to LT feeders, providing real-time data on power parameters. Benefits included increased profit, operational efficiency, and fire risk mitigation through alerts on electrical faults. The project showcased potential savings and improved understanding of load patterns for better utilization of the system.
The pilot plan involved deploying TekUncorked's LVIoT Connected Edge solution at one site in Delhi, resulting in increased profits, savings, and improved fault detection and repair efficiency within three months.
“I recommend ElectronVibe program for its mentorship, as it helped our company engage in meaningful interactions with power utilities and establish a successful business case and POC”
