Resumen
Descripción
Socioeconomic development of the
rural populace is critical to India achieving its stated
objective of inclusive growth. It is widely accepted that
access to a reliable and sufficient power supply is a key
enabler of rural economic growth. Traditionally,
India's rural power supply has been restricted by
having feeders to villages serve both agriculture and
household loads. Because agriculture power supply is
rationed by the distribution utilities, residential
consumers often suffer from inadequate service. The study
findings reveal that segregated systems can be used to
manage peak demand, identify and reduce losses previously
hidden in agricultural consumption, improve power supply to
rural domestic consumers, and bolster socioeconomic
development. Enabling the segregated system with
information technology (IT) can further improve monitoring
and control and bring about transparency and efficiency:
Agricultural consumption on which the subsidy is based can
be exactly determined, even without consumer metering, and
data collected from the system can be used for strategic
decision making and operational improvement.
