![]() Similarly, there are certain electrical segments where the adoption of technologies is very rapid, such as the consumer side for Automated Meter Reading (AMI)/Advanced Metering Infrastructure, distributed energy generation, etc. Certain utilities are doing great work in adopting the latest technologies, and some are struggling to maintain existing assets and provide a reasonable quality of services. India’s growth has been heterogeneous due to demographic and governance variables. What is the status of adopting smart grids in the Indian market? Why is it important to digitalize the existing power grids? Mercom spoke to Deepak Pandey, Director of Business Operations for GE’s South Asia ‘Digital Grid’ Business, to discuss the key technology innovations driving the future of the electricity grid and how artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, and digitalization could benefit India’s electricity grid. GE’s software manages more than 50% of the power flow in India and 40% of electricity worldwide. ![]() GE’s Digital Grid is one such company deploying smart grid technologies to allow clean energy transition with better grid stability and reliability. India’s renewable energy targets urgently require state utilities to make informed and accurate decisions, and advanced smart grid management systems will also play a key role.Įlectric utilities must ensure that their critical technologies are integrated and work together seamlessly to reap the benefits of digitization. India’s installed renewable energy capacity, including large hydro projects, stood at 159.81 GW, accounting for a 40.15% share of the overall power capacity mix at the end of the Q2, 2022, according to data from the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), Ministry of New and Renewable Energy ( MNRE), and Mercom’s India Solar Project Tracker. ![]() Therefore, transitioning to a smarter and more efficient grid for the future becomes essential. ![]() Maintaining grid stability is critical to transmitting the required power to consumers with increasing energy demands.ĭue to their intermittency, renewable assets require greater flexibility to incorporate distributed energy resources. ![]()
