From Power Bills to Smart Grids: How Delhi's DISCOMs Are Transforming | Abhishek RANJAN

Yeah.

13:10Abhishek RanjanGUEST
If you have seen the Draft National Electricity Plan, it talks about why not we set the trajectory for SAIDI and SAIFI.
A
13:16Abhishek RanjanGUEST
Okay? So that is going to measure the reliability quotient, and that is the way to go.

Now, many of the discoms are yet to res- achieve single digit of T&D or ATNC losses, right? For them, the major portion is reduction of ATNC losses.

It's reduced field crew exposure and improved field crew safety by being able to have better insights before sending those, uh, crews to go out to the field or to climb a pole or a tower.

And on the distribution side, it's things like improved, uh, SAIDI and SAIFI prioritization.
K
39:24Kaitlyn AlbertoliGUEST
It's been really, uh, exciting to work with Dominion on the distribution side as they've also continued to more, uh, holistically and programmatically think through ways to improve SAIDI and SAIFI by standing up their, uh, drone and inspection program.

Um, it's faster restoration, uh, post-storm, and it's also pre-storm preparedness.

And then lastly, it's the ability to have more frequent and continuous inspection cycles, not once every five years, but continuous monitoring of the equipment so that you can make more proactive instead of reactive maintenance decisions.

Um, and we'll pay the same absorbent amount at a Starbucks for that, but at the end of the day, what we're trying to say is that the utility's own definition of what a gas leak represents, a NERC violation, a SAIDI minute, right? SAIDI is, um, basically a weighted metric of reliability for, for a customer, how, how often the lights are on versus off.

Um, this is set across the board from engineers, and it's approved by executives.

So what the AI is doing, the part of this, is scoring thousands of projects against our value framework that consistently, um, maximizes the value inside the budget against workforce and outage constraints, while making sure everything is, is apples to apples.
