Power BSES' new system to cut power fault restoration time Our Bureau
New Delhi , May 27 Consumers in the Delhi's BSES-managed areas can look forward to faster rectification of power faults, with the distribution company operationalising the `Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition' (SCADA) system that would automatically inform control rooms about power outages and reduce restoration time by up to 60 per cent. "By adopting this technology, Delhi has finally joined the league of global cities like Singapore and Hong Kong. It will go a long way in solving the power woes here," the Delhi Chief Minister, Ms Shiela Dikshit, said after inaugurating the system. The system has been built at an estimated cost of Rs 153 crore and would benefit Reliance-controlled BSES' 23 lakh consumers in the city. Operations of all the 117 grid stations in BSES area would be monitored on one screen and remote-controlled through the SCADA control centre. The two distribution companies — BSES Yamuna Power and BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd — would now be able to monitor the entire power distribution system from the control rooms by just logging on to network computers.
