• Intelligent solutions to optimize electricity delivery in rural areas
  
• Surmount Supply-Demand gap of power to ensure rural households/ commercial establishments get at least 18 hours of electricity every day even at current generation levels
  
• Inexpensive – builds intelligence at Distribution Transformer – higher sustainability than separate feeders

Present constraints

• Households/ commercial establishments need minimum 18 hours of electricity – Rural Domestic loads consume nominal energy
• Irrigation Pumpsets require no more than 6-7 hours of electricity but remain the heavy consumers of power in villages
• Presence of RDLs (Rural Domestic Loads) and IPs (Irrigation Pumpsets) on the same circuit – rural households suffer when IPs controlled through feeder management

The TAL Rural Load Management solution

• Builds Intelligence at the Distribution Transformer (DT)
• Allows loads to be split up into RDL and IP – availability of power to RDL and IP can be controlled remotely through DT without physically manipulating feeders
• Can be used to stagger availability of power to IPs on single feeder
• When used on multiple feeders, allows RDLs to get maximum available power and IPs to get power as per predetermined schedule
• Allows metering/ remote monitoring/ management at every DT – helps data collection and identification of revenue leaders/ losers
• Convenient – each RLM unit designed for physical mounting on DT – saves cost of additional poles/ supporting frames/ etc.
• Inexpensive – requires minimal modification of existing distribution system
• Immediate delivery – can start providing 18-24 hours of electricity to rural domestic loads immediately post installation
• Rugged – designed for outdoor usage with capacity to withstand extreme weathers
  

Benefits / Advantages

• Provides 18-24 hours of electricity to rural consumers under present generation constraints
• Reduces feeder loading by almost 50% and hence reduces losses to almost one-fourth
• Voltage drop reduces by almost 50%
• Possible to provide continuous 3/1 phase power supply to rural industrial loads, water supply etc.
• Continuous supply to rural domestic consumers
• Provides fillip to rural economy
• Better IP consumer satisfaction – due to improved quality of power supply and also compensation in time for the interrupted hours during scheduled hours of power supply.
• Possible to cater additional loads without any extra investment due to capacity release
• No rostering – no unbalanced loading – reduced transformer failure
• The feeder is charged continuously, increases consumption of the metered category and revenue for the Power Corporation and the relevant Discom
