Electrifying :
Smartly
==============
During yesterday’s
launch of “ Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar
Yojana “ , Shri R K Singh (
Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy ) said :
“ Under the scheme, smart and e-meters will be installed at every village
and one would be able to recharge them with the phones, just like their
telephone connection. One can even do a recharge of Rs 50. “
I hope those “ smart e-meters “ conform to the
design described in my following email :

Subject: Nothing can get Simpler
!
A Pre-paid
Electricity Meter ?
------------------------
In an interview with Economic Times (
15 May ) , Minister for Power / Renewable Energy , Shri Piyush Goyalji says :
----------------------------------------------
“ UPA has been a sad example as
during its tenure , people used to receive high power bills all of a sudden .
In some cases, the poor will not receive bills for months together and one day
, he will receive a bill for last two years
Then he is harassed to pay up
We are talking to all the States that
they have to ensure monthly bills , so people don’t get a shock
If there is a default, then action
can be taken on a monthly due amount “
As compared to those old days , of
course , things are much better now
In case of many DISCOMS , people can
make an Online Payment from their web sites I believe , some of these DISCOMS
have even launched their own AEPS mobile wallets / apps , using which , power
consumers can make payments against their monthly bills But , how about a Prepaid Electricity Meter , with following features
/ functionality ?
* It will be a Tablet
look-alike device
* It will show daily –
weekly – monthly , power consumption of the premises
* It will show the “
average / highest / lowest “ monthly consumption
* It will also show how
many UNITS remain to his BALANCE , at any given time
* It will show a GRAPH
comparing consumptions during any two “ periods “
* It will have facility
to enter ( type in ) , customer’s Aadhar Number ( of course, linked to his Bank
Account Number )
* After login ( using
biometric identification of Finger + Iris + Voice ) , customer can “ Re-charge
“ his “ Account “ with ( say ) ,
Rs 1,000 / - at the beginning, using
the built-in Virtual Keyboard ( Device will have built-in camera )
* When the “ balance “ to
his credit falls to ( say ) Rs 100 / - , an alarm will ring and he will also
get Email / SMS / WhatsApp
Reminder
* If he fails to “
Re-Charge “ his account , power will get disconnected upon the balance falling
to Rs 10/- !
* Power will start
flowing again as soon as consumer “ re-charges “ through device
None of this ( hardware + software +
wireless telecom ) , is a Rocket Science !
Any Start Up can come up with such a
total , end-to-end , solution within 6 months !
Only thing , this device cannot stop
is UN-METERED THEFT of power , where wires
get pulled from a power-line , bypassing the
meter !
Other than this one limitation , this
suggestion has the potential to dramatically improve the Financial Positions of
the State DISCOMS !
Dear Shri Goyalji ,
Would you like to pose this challenge
to our Start Ups ?

After a long time , we
have a set of Ministers and Bureaucrats who , not only read your emailed
suggestions , but go ahead and implement the same , if found useful
I am sure , they will
read this email as well and implement the following innovation which got
reported in today’s Economic Times :
Scientists have developed a new
artificial intelligence ( AI ) system that can detect ELECTRICITY THEFT and meter
misreadings – a common problem in developing countries
A team from the University of Luxembourg
looked at the energy use of 3.6 million
Brazilian households over FIVE YEARS
The researchers specifically focussed on
nearly 200 Million monthly readings made
by professional meter readers
They then developed an algorithm that ,
after sifting through the readings, could
recognize when energy use at a property was suspiciously low
Researchers verified their results with
data on past inspections , checking if their tool was correctly highlighting
potential cases of fraud or faulty metering
The most accurate versions of the system
were able to identify problem cases just over 65 % of the time , News Scientist
