BYPL ties up with Sensus for advanced metering solution

The BSES Yamuna Power Ltd (BYPL) signed an agreement at the India-UK Tech Summit with Sensus -- a Xylem brand and global supplier of smart meters and utility-grade communications systems, an official statement said on Tuesday.

According to the statement, the agreement will enable BYPL to use FlexNet -- Sensus' advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) solution -- in the Delhi Service area on a trial basis.

The technology trial will start in the next three to four months and will simplify installation and commissioning of the Sensus FlexNet AMI solution in BYPL, Delhi, it said.

"The BSES has always been at the forefront of deploying cutting-edge technologies like Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Geographical Information System (GIS) and now Smart Grids," said Lalit Jalan, Chairman of BSES.

"This collaboration will help us further improve the value proposition by leveraging the next-level - 'SMART' technology for the power distribution business," he added.
