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 reported
