To expand Automated Demand Side Management
Reliance Infrastructure announced that its distribution arm, Reliance Energy and Innovari, a US based firm, signed a MoU on expanding the Automated Demand Side Management (ADSM).ASDM is a win-win situation for both uitilites; customers as well as the environment; as it helps the utilities to improve the system utilization by reducing its peak demand and it allows the customers to curb their power consumption during peak hours; thereby leading to reduction in their monthly electricity bills and restricting carbon emissions going in the air; thus, reducing carbon footprints.
In 2014, Reliance Infrastructure partnered with Innovari to implement a pilot project in Mumbai to validate the customer and grid benefits of the ASDM. The pilot concluded successfully providing ability to auto-manage demand without impacting the customer's environment and also providing savings.
Reliance Energy would approach MERC for furthering ADSM program. It will be extended to other high-end consumers in phased manner after MERC approval.
