39. Road Map for Loss Reduction
Improvement in Workmanship.
Conversion of LT consumers above 50 KW to HT metering.
Verification/ authentication of metering units at site to cross check the multiplying factor.
Replacement of Dead Stop Defective Meters.
Re-conductoring and re-configuration of feeders.
Selective installation of LT capacitors on DTR’s.
Implementation of HVDS.
Streamlining of meter reading schedule.
Inter Division/ Inter-sub-Division points being provided with CT/PT units effective energy audit.
Sealing arrangements for at least all industrial consumers needs to be fine-tuned with reference to Regulation under Section 55 of electricity Act
The conversion of single Phase to Three Phase L.T. Lines can reduce the losses by 83% for the same load and needs to be tried as per study done by Kerala State Electricity Board.

45. “Atal Bijli Bachat Yojana” (ABBY) announced by the Hon’ble Chief Minister
Energy saving Scheme titled “Atal Bijli Bachat Yojana” (ABBY) announced by the Hon’ble Chief Minister on 15th April 2008
4 Nos CFLs (2 Nos equivalent to 100 watt & 2 Nos equivalent to 60 watt incandascent bulbs) are to be distributed to all the domestic consumers (approx. 16 lacs) across the state FREE OF COST in return with an equal nos of incandascent lamp.
The scheme will cost to the tune of Rs Cr. Which would be provided initially by the state Govt. to HPSEB to e returned back in ten interest free equal installments.
The scheme aimed at energy conservation and to reduce the peak demand in the state.
Number of meeting /discussions held with various CFL manufactures & draft procurements specifications prepared.
Efforts to be made to get carbon credits under CDM

46. Remote metering under Solan Circle (Op)
Large supply industrial consumers of (OP) Circle, Solan No.
Implementation Between Jan.2006 to Jan.2007 at a Cost of Rs Lacs under APDRP Scheme.
Electronic meters have communication facility through remote system which helps the meter to transfer the data to a far away place through a modem for communication
Taking Power to People

47. Working of Un-manned Stations
These sub stations can be controlled from remote location with Laptop/Desktop provided with modem
Mode of communication is GSM
Each Circuit breaker is provided with SIM (MOBILE NUMBER)
The circuit breaker responds when dialed otherwise it is in sleep mode
Real time system parameters can be observed/downloaded upon establishing communication with circuit breaker.
Circuit breaker can be switched on or off either locally or from remote location.
Permit to work (PTW)/Shut down can also be granted from remote location.
Abnormal system condition are notified to the base controlling sub station& designated mobile numbers through SMS
Circuit breaker records system events at pre determined intervals continuously
These substation circuit breakers have auto re-closing facility in the event of transient faults it restores the supply all by it self.
After predetermined number of tries/persistent faults the circuit breaker trips & locks out notifying the base for remedial action.
