We bring deep industry experience in integrated solutions for Captive Power Plant and systematic data management for Smart Metering Systems

Power

Digitalization is positively affecting every industry sector and in power sector it allows greater transparency in operations, which increases efficiency and reliability while decreasing costs. The benefits are passed on to consumers through lower monthly utility bills, reduced outages, and faster response times.

Digitalization in Power Generation & distribution is transforming the work behaviour across value chain. Plants and distribution networks are becoming increasingly smarter by digitally integrating assets to increase flexibility in operations, improve asset reliability and optimize resource utilization. As power producers diversify their energy portfolio in both non-renewable and renewable energy sources to meet the world’s growing appetite for energy, plant operations and associated networks must be able to respond quickly and efficiently to constantly changing market demand.

Digital solutions are powerful tools to manage the dynamic business environment. Rapid advances in smart devices, IIOT solutions, AI/ML technology are opening new ways of driving gains from existing operations and enabling new, more flexible operating models with extensive opportunities for growth.  

The key for success is to approach digitalization as a business issue with clarity on strategic implications. It requires strategy to understand the impact of already deployed digital technologies and understand gap areas to arrive at solutions that provide tactical operational advantages in the short term, while simultaneously allowing evolution without obsolescence.

 

Captive Power Plants

A captive power plant provides a localised source of power to an energy user which is typically an energy intensive user. Most energy intensive plants need a reliable and cost-effective source of energy that can supply power without any disturbances and hence captive power plant becomes necessity.

The import of power from the grid is more expensive and unreliable. The major challenge in the power plant operations is to maintain the efficiency and to reduce various losses across value chain.

Most of the data now a days is being kept in the form of Excel sheets, and it can lead to missing or manipulation of data over the period. Also, it is difficult to the management to monitor and analyze the plant data, critical parameters which contributes to huge commercial values.

Proclink offers solution to digitalize the entire process and facilitate the user to enter the data in a secured system. This also enables to create various background algorithms for direct monitoring of the performance of Power plant as well as associated production facilities.

The Management and Headquarters will have complete access to monitor the plant key parameters and there by efficiently operate Power Plant.

For such Captive Power Plants, Proclink offer solutions that:

  • Ensure efficient Operations of Captive Power Plants and associated upstream mining (if any) and downstream Production units.
  • Ensure efficient fuel management, generation of MIS analysis of plant fuel data
  • Enables management to monitor & track the plant performance
  • Facilitates to view the plant key parameters from a remote location
  • Avoids unscheduled maintenances/outages
  • Enables to control the overall profit and losses
  • Eliminates the usage of excel sheets and losing/ manipulations of data

Integrated Smart Metering

Data management from the electricity network is becoming a major challenge now a days. Mainly due to various sources and mechanisms followed to collect the energy data.

It is necessary that Data reaches every personnel be it a Plant Engineer, Plant Technician, Instrument Supervisor or Top Management in plant for situational awareness and objective decision making. Enhanced situational awareness results in improved uptime and better Plant performance. Therefore, it is necessary to have a reliable, fool proof and user-friendly system to capture the data at one place from various sources and different mechanisms.

Potential areas which get benefited through Proclink’ s integrated solution are as follows:

  • Monitoring and control of the Energy Data
  • Monitoring and control of key network parameters like Voltage, Power Factor and Losses
  • Monitoring the network contingencies and plan mitigations
  • Load growth and load forecasting analysis
  • System Planning and utility Planning
  • Load data and revenue analysis
  • Generate various reports/ dashboards as per the requirement
