Dear VHI,
I did get your earlier mail , Thanks for
your kind words

A Smart Move , Shri
Singh !
About a year back [ 19
May 2017 ] , I sent my following suggestion for introduction of a Smart
Electricity Meter to the Cabinet Ministers :
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 ?
Today’s
Business Standard carries following headline :
Dear Shri R
K Singhji :
Many thanks
for accepting my suggestion . I urge you to consider the specifications of such
a Smart Electric Meter , as described in my above mentioned email
Extract from today’s Business Standard news
item :
"In the next 3
years, metering will go smart and gone will be the days of bills reaching your
house. So, need of the hour is to scale up manufacturing of smart prepaid meters and to bring down
their prices," the statement cited Singh as saying.
"This will
revolutionise the power sector by way of reduced AT&C ( aggregate technical
and commercial ) losses, better health of discoms, incentivisation of energy conservation and ease of bill payments,
etcetera," he said.
Dear Shri Singhji :
And now that there is so much talk of
using Artificial Intelligence and Block-Chain technologies for improving productivity of
all “ Retailing Processes “ ( - distributing electric power to
millions of homes , is the biggest “ retailing / home delivery “ process ), I
urge you to ask our scientists / engineers to consider the following research :
Scientists have developed a new
artificial intelligence ( AI ) system that can detect ELECTRICITY THEFT and meter mis-readings – 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

Dear HCP,Greetings..Just saw the above and
I am so very happy that people in authority are looking into suggestions of
"Aam Admi" and implementing the same.I know you have been tirelessly
working and improving systems at macro levels for a long time.I used to hear
about computers and the use of technology from you as far back as mid-60's and
several things you prophesied have come true.Always proud to have known you and
associated with you.Warm regards==vhi==
