| SOCIETAL
IMPACT |
 |
 With
advent of the new age, Genus has committed
itself to development of new projects in tune
with the latest technology. The technology
promises to benefit all the parties involved
in electric Power distribution and Management
beginning from the utilities generating such
power and the end consumers using it. We have
broadly classified the benefits to the society
by using our products as under:
|
| |
Benefits
to the electricity consumer
- Accurate billing statements and improved
service due to fully automization and
online connectivity of meter.
- Can easily be mounted on poles to prevent
theft and tamper.
- Continuous monitoring of energies by
consumers by compact Remote enable Display
units that can be switched in any power
Socket.
- Improved security because the meter
readers no longer need to gain access
to the property
- Allows customers to move easier between
different rates creating greater choices.
- Different Tariff Rates can be applied
on Hour basis.
- More analyzing and reports for power
consumptions and power factor.
- Controlling the Legal and un-legal leakage
in power line by efficient auditing.
- Disable mistakes in meter reading.
- Precise meter reading 1% (in fact it's
close to 0.1%)
- Provide Quality Power to the consumers
by instantly detecting the tampers, MD
shoot ups, Load customer Load Profiles.

Benefits
of AMR System to Electric Power distribution
utility
Technical Benefits
- No need to go at meter place to read
the Bills.
- Improved customer service:
In a deregulated environment, customer
satisfaction and retention are key components
of a successful utility. AMR System can
help utilities improve customer service
by providing timely and accurate bills,
automating outage notification, reducing
customer disruptions caused by manual
reads, and improving the process of resolving
meter reading disputes.
- Implementation of real-time pricing:
Variable rate tariffs based on the time
of day can be used to discourage usage
during peak hours and smooth demand. This
enables utilities to reduce the maximum
capacity of their plant and therefore
achieve a better return on capital.
- Distribution automation:
System allows utilities to provide better
customer service through enabling a greater
level of functionality over their distribution
network, including: remote credits of
pre-payment meters, remote connect or
disconnect services, tamper/leak detection
and outage notification.
- Improved fraud detection:
System allows utilities to detect whether
or not a meter has been tampered with
or if wires have been cut at the meter.
The system will flag the account with
a code notifying the meter reader to investigate
the situation.
- Precise meter reading 1% (in fact it's
0.1%)
- Possibility to give statistical information
for power consumption of each region and
on the base of this information Electric
Power Company has possibility to plan
and develop the system.
- Ability to make computerized plan to
reduce price in different peak times for
energy consumption.
- Ability to use GIS (Geographic Information
System) map that enable to see location
of each meter and through it to receive
history for energy consumption.
- Disable possibility to physically to
stop the meter from working using strong
magnets, routing the load through earth,
reverse load side connections, High RF
radiations with immediate acknowledgment
of alarms at the base station and Auditing
reports.

Economic
Benefits
- Reduced meter reading costs: Saving
Meter Readers, Accountants, Billing cost
& indirect Cost. Conventional meter
reading is a labor-intensive process and
can represent a considerable percentage
of a utility's operating costs. The problem
is particularly acute in countries where
certain states require residential meters
to be read once a month.
- Enable automatic update of the system
without any additional costs
- It is a highly Lucrative Solution as
a large number of meters is attached to
just single GPRS connection.
- Highly tamper proof thereby increasing
revenues to the utilities.

Scientific
and Technical Advancement
Development of cluster metering and associated
technologies result in the development of
highly integrated end to end energy measurement
/ auditing / management solutions to the
utilities. It is also a step in the direction
of increased technology convergence.
