The system automates complex calculations and trend analysis, presenting the information on mobile devices for easy access. This not only saves time and resources but also facilitates collaboration between panel operators and management. With this real-time visibility and data-driven insights, teams can proactively adjust energy use strategies, optimize grid interaction, and ultimately minimize costs associated with ABT and DSM. The ABT & DSM solution empowers the power sector to navigate the complexities of the energy market with confidence, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operations.

Industrial project

Read on to understand how we implemented a deviation settlement mechanism to maintain schedule as per SRLDC for NTPC 4X500 MW plant.

Location: India

Implementing deviation settlement

The project comprised of 150 Analytical Views, 25 Trends, 10 Reports, 100 Notifications and10 Dashboards. Modules including meter data collection, analytics, dashboards, trends, reports, notifications, portal, mobile apps were installed. Configured both stage-wise and overall DSM dashboards, reports and analytical views and provided real-time meter data to the IT layer using inSis OPC UA Server. Reports were configured to be delivered via email. Connectivity was established between IT and OT in order to streamline operations.

The ABT & DSM solution provides real-time data monitoring, which helps to manage scheduled generation from SLDCs, Excel file upload and manual entry and UI optimization. This powerful feature delivers a continuous stream of information on your energy consumption. The system monitors for the following parameters.

  • Generation
  • Export
  • APC
  • Unscheduled Power Interchange (UI)

The ABT & DSM solution boasts a powerful built-in calculation engine. This intelligent tool takes the complexity out of ABT & DSM by automating all those intricate calculations for you, which include the following.

  • Aggregates & Metrics Calculations
  • Block-wise calculation of ABT parameters
  • Complex DSM calculations

ABT & DSM solution acquires robust data using variety of protocols like Modbus and OPC. It also interfaces with PLC / SCADA / DCS etc. for operations data acquisition and empowers you with intelligent analytics and reporting.  It provides provision of both web-based reports and Excel based reports with auto scheduler and email delivery. The sub features include the following.

  • Deviation Analysis
  • Violations
  • Troubleshooting
  • SPC

Unleash the full potential of the energy market with seamless IEX, RTM, and RLDC integration within the inSis ABT & DSM solution.

  • It bridges the gap between your operations and the market, providing real-time data exchange with key entities
  • Enhances flexibility and efficiency in electricity trading
  • Ensures your energy consumption stays compliant with grid regulations through RLDC integration

The ABT & DSM solution empowers you with a robust KPI (Key Performance Indicator) management system. This feature helps you to achieve the following.

  • Define and track custom KPIs specific to your energy goals
  • Set clear targets for energy consumption by block hour, deviation charges, or overall cost reduction
  • Track your progress in real-time, providing insightful dashboards and reports that highlight areas where you’re exceeding or falling short of your goals
  • Identify trends, adjust strategies on the fly, and continuously optimize your energy use for maximum cost savings

The system proactively sends real-time alerts directly to your chosen devices, notifying you of critical situations that could impact your energy costs. Emails and SMS alerts are sent for the following conditions.

  • Exceeding pre-defined consumption thresholds within a block hour
  • Potential UI deviations that might incur penalties
  • Unplanned shutdowns, idle times etc.

How it works

By analysing real-time energy data and grid conditions, the system predicts potential cost fluctuations and recommends optimal energy consumption strategies. This is achieved through the following tasks. The system continuously collects operations as well as meter data using a variety of protocols and interfaces.

It performs complex calculations related to ABT and DSM guidelines such as unscheduled interruption rate, profit-loss and performance calculations. Fully self-service and web-based user interfaces are used for configuring, monitoring, analysis and reporting. Also, notifications are sent via e-mail or SMS for non-compliance and deviations.

A modular solution

Our solution simplifies complexity by breaking it down into smaller, reusable components, providing flexibility, scalability, and ease of maintenance.
