ISGF unveiled the compelling vision for next generation smart metering using internet inthe recently published White Paper: “Next Generation Smart Metering – IP Metering”.The widely adopted communication architectures deployed in smart metering projectsinvolve RF/PLC/BPL for last mile connection from a Data Concentrator Unit (DCU) to agroup of meters; and the DCUs transmit the data to the utility's sever over the widearea network – GPRS/fiber networks. This architecture evolved over the past ten yearsparticularly because the early mover utilities wanted dedicated communication networks
which they could control. Now that most buildings (even in smaller towns in developingcountries) have broadband internet connections, utilities can leverage the existingcommunication infrastructure for smart metering. The meters may be directly connectedto internet using Wi-Fi in buildings/factories/commercial centres etc. Once meters areconnected on the internet, the meter data can be aggregated on a server anywhere – inutility's control room or on the cloud.
Smart metering or Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) architecture with RF meshfor last mile connectivity has emerged as a popular solution amongst utilities in manygeographies as depicted in the diagram below:

ISGF Vision for Next Generation Communication Architecture for Smart Metering –IP Metering
We at ISGF believe that by 2020, almost every building (residential/commercial/industrial/public institutions etc.) in urban and semi-urban areas on earth will havebroadband internet connectivity (perhaps except in some conflict regions). The smartmeter, smart appliances, utility's Head End System (HES) and other applications canconnect to the internet and eliminate the need of intermediate entities such as dataconcentrator units/gateways that create a parallel communication infrastructure which is

difficult and expensive to maintain. As shown in the diagram below, smart meters and smart appliances can be connected to the Wi-Fnetwork in the home/building/campus. Meter data is sent over the broadband internet which can be accessed by the utility's HES anreceived in the MDMS which integrates the meter data with all utility applications; and applications with consumers on their smart phoneseliminating the need for In-Home Displays (IHDs).
The Govt. of India was pursuing a program, National Optical FiberNetwork (NOFN), to provide broadband connectivity to 250,000 villages,which the Modi-Government has decided to expand to 600,000 villagesunder the “Digital India” program for providing universal broadbandaccess to all. Ministry of Power has proposed to fund the extension ofNOFN to all 33kV and above substations as part of Integrated PowerDevelopment Scheme (IPDS) and Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram JyotiYojana (DDUGJY) programs. These schemes are going to provide
broadband access to most part of the country as well as create adedicated fiber backbone network for the power system.
The advantage of the proposed architecture is that it leverages theexisting communication infrastructure, that is, broadband connection inbuildings and homes, and hence reduces the total cost of ownership asadditional network elements such as data concentrator units, gatewaysetc. are not required. Wi-Fi connectivity is maintained by BroadbandService Providers (BSP) who have the expertise and resources tomaintain such networks with very high reliability. IP networks arescalable and reliable and can be monitored and controlled in real time.Questions regarding the security of Wi-Fi networks cannot pose a majorthreat as people are widely using their laptops and other mobile devicesfor all kinds of online transactions when connected to Wi-Fi networks. Asfar as inter-operability is concerned, if all the meters follow common datamodels/routing tables, the MDMS can accept data from different makes
of meters – similar to smart phones of different makes with differentoperating systems connected on Wi-Fi are able to communicate with each other so long as the users understand the same language.
The communication architectures presently deployed for smart metering include intermediate entities such as data concentratounits/gateways and creation of a dedicated parallel communication network for the electric utility which they have no expertise inmaintaining and upgrading as new communication technologies are evolving at faster pace. This also involves use of wireless spectrumwhich is a limited and expensive resource in every country today. Experiences from around the world indicate that none of thecommunication solutions presently deployed for smart metering have 100% reliability despite having a dedicated network. Thesarchitectures not only increase the total cost of ownership but also fail to offer reliable, scalable and interoperable last mile connectivity.
In today's world where internet is everywhere, smart meters and smart appliances could be connected directly on internet; and utility's HEcan leverage internet to collect the meter data on the server and the MDMS can integrate that with other applications. In other words, thebroadband internet that is present in almost all homes, buildings and campuses, can be used for providing last mile connectivity for smarmetering. By doing do, devices such as data concentrator units, gateways and in-home displays will not be needed and highly reliablescalable and interoperable last mile connectivity can be provided. Wherever there is no Wi-Fi, the electric utility may provide Wi-Fi which w
be cheaper than other last mile connectivity options.In the IPv6 regime where every meter can have an IP address, the proposed IP Metering solution can offer multiple benefits to utilities angovernments:
• No need for a parallel telecom infrastructure – huge savings in cost of deployment and maintenance for the utility
• No need for separate spectrum for utility applications – instead government can allocate that spectrum to telcos and/or other userfor additional revenue
• More reliability, scalability, security and capability to monitor and control – IP networks can be monitored in real time which itself a good measure against cyber attacks

Protection of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) is of paramount concern to governments worldwide. To address this threat, theGovernment of India has notified the ‘National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre’ (NCIIPC) as the nodal agency vide
thGazette of India notification on 16 January 2014. NCIIPC is driven by its mission to take all necessary measures to facilitate protection ofCritical Information Infrastructure, from unauthorized access, modification, use, disclosure, disruption, incapacitation or destruction,through coherent coordination, synergy and raising information security awareness among all stakeholders with a vision to facilitate safe,secure and resilient Information Infrastructure for Critical Sectors in the country. To achieve this, it is essential to ensure that relevantsecurity mechanisms are built into Critical Information Infrastructure as key design features.
Critical Infrastructure sectors cover a broad spectrum ranging from the Power, Banking and Financial Services, Aviation etc industries.Keeping in mind the wide spectrum of these organizations in terms of services, ownership, infrastructure etc, it is important to evolve aFramework enunciating the broad principles for the protection of Critical Information Infrastructure (CII). NCIIPC seeks to provide a robustand resilient framework which enables organizations across sectors, business models, cyber security postures etc, to evolve strongcyber security mechanisms. The framework realizes that protection of CII involves a multi stakeholder approach which includes the CIIowner, Service providers to the CII, NCIIPC, CERT-In and LEAs.
CISO Academy is organizing 2 conferences on Critical Information Infrastructure (CII) in Mumbai and Delhi on 27-Oct-2015 and 04-Nov-2015 respectively. The conference is aimed at increasing the awareness about NCIIPC amongst its key stakeholders and in additiongetting insight into the practitioner’s approach. The conference will have participation of senior level officers from various critical sectorsof the country.

Smart Grid Updates: Pilot Projects in IndiaGreen Transformers: Witnessing Healthy Growth
The government's step to approve Rs. 32,000 crore forintegrated power development scheme to reduce AT&C lossesthe industry is a step in the right direction and provides a hugeopportunity for players in the sector. Historically thetransformers market has been driven by the transmission andthe distribution sector and a phenomenal growth in these twosegments shall drive the transformer market in the future.Rapid urbanization and development of roads, metros and otherinfrastructure projects across the country is also expected togenerate huge demand for transformers as power generationand maintenance is required in all manufacturing sectors, alsolots of projects are going on for modernisation of grid anddistribution infrastructure across the country and many moreare expected to come up.
The green transformers market is further anticipated to witness
sound healthy growth rates and empowering demand for theimpending years. The initiatives undertaken by the Indiangovernment alongside the need of substitution of transformersintroduced in the previous years is relied upon to drivedevelopment in the Indian transformers market. SchneiderElectric India is a well established manufacturer havingcapabilities to develop all type of transformers up to the 170KV(100MVA) Oil ( Mineral / Ester ) Filled Distribution transformers& dry type cast resin Transformers up to 15MVA ,52KV.
The transformer business in India has advanced and now has agenerally developed engineering base that prompts excellentcompleted items. India has a proven innovation and ability tomanufacture an extensive variety of power transformers,distribution transformers and different sorts of special
transformers for furnace, traction, converter duty and so on.Today, around 85% o f the transformers introduced in theIndian Power Network are of indigenous source. Energyefficient transformer can be manufactured in India to meetinternational requirements.
The domestic transformer industry is definitely facing somestiff competition from outside as cheaper imports from Chinaand Korea have majorly impacted the industry. This is a seriousmatter of concern as direct impact on small and medium sizedtransformer manufacturers. However the government'scontinued efforts to revive the power and the infrastructuresector augur very well for the transformers industry as boththese sectors would need strong electrification which shall help
the local players maintain a healthy growth rate. With a brilliantconcept-Make in India will enable the country to unlock hugeeconomic potential and create unprecedented employmentopportunities. From establishing and sustaining large-scalemanufacturing projects to creating a robust power network, theIndian economy will achieve healthy growth levels. India has tobecome a manufacturing power house in order to drive theeconomy and generate many more employment opportunitiesfor the large pool of skilled and unskilled labour available here.
Schneider Electric has been focussing on developing innovative,green, efficient, safe, reliable and productive smart technologiesfor the Indian market. On similar lines, Schneider has come upwith an offering called 'Vegeta' which is based onNatural/Synthetic Ester Oil. Ester Oils are biodegradable withhigher flash/fire points thus increasing the safety against firehazards. Further, with the use of thermally upgraded insulation onecan achieve reduced footprint of overall transformer thus savingspace. In order to meet challenges of space, fire risks, particularlyin commercial buildings, hospitals and other indoor substations,there is a world class dry technology of 'Trihal', It's a SelfExtinguishing Transformer. Further, it is suitable for most extremeclimatic (C3 Compliance) & Environmental (E3 Compliance)conditions, suitable for relative humidity up to 95 per cent.
Schneider Electric, one of the largest manufacturer of Transformers
in India became the first indian transformer manufacturer toSupply India's first Ester Oil Filled Power Transformer whichaddress critical needs of :-
a) Safety
b) Space saving
c) Irregular loading pattern of Transformers
d) Need for Environment friendly green solution
With growing urbanization & power demand, Indian distributionutilities today are facing critical problems of Reduced space, SafteyHazards & irregular loading patterns (40% to 140% of base loadcapacity). This is when companies like Schneider Electric withglobal experience in Transformer Design & manufacturing came up
with Innovative technology in Power Transformer filled with NaturalEster Oil (Cargill – FR3). With the use of thermally upgradedinsulation & Natural Ester Oil, Schneider delivered 20/28MVApower Transformer which delivered following advantages:-
• Increased Saftey against fire hazard on account of hightemperature Natural Ester Oil
• 15% space saving compared to conventional mineral oilsolution
• Low Noise level to the of 58DB (decibels) thus Silent
• Increased Overloading capacity up to 40% of baserating (20MVA)
• Envirnoment friendly Green & Biodegradable solution
With the government putting a lot of impetus on strengthening thetransmission and distribution sector there is a huge opportunity forgreen transformers industry in India but the doors still need to beopened by the government efforts.
