ABB India said on Wednesday it is partnering with Indore Smart City Development Ltd (ISCDL) to deploy next-generation digital technology that enables continuous supply of electricity to homes and businesses.
In the first phase of the collaboration, this technology enabled more than 2,300 connections to achieve 24/7 electricity supply with an efficient automatic response system (ARS) in case of power outages or disruption, ABB India said in a statement.
ABB and ISCDL now plan to replicate the same model in other parts of the city and position Indore as the model for smart city projects across India.
Indore, the largest city in Madhya Pradesh and home to more than three million people and several key industries in the state, is also part of the central government's mission to develop 100 smart cities across the country.
One of the key parameters of a smart city is the 24/7 supply of electricity to enable digital transformation and the delivery of essential services to citizens.
Indore has set itself the goal of stimulating the development of smart cities in line with its swachh' identity in the world.
ABB's Compact Secondary Substations (CSS) used in the project will reduce downtime by providing a stable and reliable power supply through digitally enabled SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) solutions, it said.
The CSS also has built-in Feeder Remote Terminal Units that monitor consumption by each household in real time, maintain a healthy network and quickly recover electricity through a remotely monitored SCADA system.
ABB's integrated Feeder Terminal Units are connected to the SCADA Center, which enables control and monitoring of low voltage connections and provides real-time feedback on power distribution related data.
Kiran Dutt, President Electrification Business, ABB India, said: ABB's digital solutions will enable the regular supply of electricity, which is vital for the growth of a vibrant city like Indore.
Rishav Gupta, CEO, ISCDL said: “Efficient electrification is the backbone of a smart city and ABB's technology-led approach has shown promising results in the first phase of implementation. faster solution in the event of malfunctions."
ABB is a leading global technology company driving the transformation of society and industry to realize a more productive, sustainable future.
Connecting software to its electrification, robotics, automation and motion portfolio, ABB is pushing the boundaries of technology to take performance to the next level.
