Electricity distribution network operators (DNOs) in developing countries are facing significant challenges to address the energy trilemma- offering clean, affordable and secure energy. Increased demand for electricity coupled with the rapid shifting of supply to distributed generation requires DNOs to increase monitoring, analytics and optimisation to continue to provide a cost-effective service. Instead of installing expensive, cumbersome SCADA systems and making costly grid expansions, OrxaGrid provides a smarter, lower cost alternative through retrofitting IoT enabled devices on critical grid nodes and monitoring them for efficiency improvements. In this project, OrxaGrid will collaborate with SCOPE, an established Indian electrical sector company and University of Reading’s energy systems team to take the system to the next level. We will develop a unique interoperable gateway and add advanced algorithms that improve grid efficiency by forecasting demand and renewable generation, predicting theft and technical outage locations and identifying spare capacities in the grid. Grid operators can use OrxaGrid’s web/mobile dashboard to take active steps at mitigating the energy trilemma.

发展中国家的配电网络运营商（DNO）在解决能源三难困境方面面临着重大挑战-提供清洁，负担得起和安全的能源。随着电力需求的增加以及供应向分布式发电的快速转变，需要DNO加强监测、分析和优化，以继续提供具有成本效益的服务。OrxaGrid没有安装昂贵、繁琐的SCADA系统，也没有进行昂贵的电网扩展，而是通过在关键电网节点上改造支持物联网的设备，并对其进行监控，以提高效率，从而提供了一种更智能、成本更低的替代方案。在这个项目中，OrxaGrid将与SCOPE合作，SCOPE是一家成熟的印度电力部门公司，也是阅读大学的能源系统团队，将该系统提升到一个新的水平。我们将开发一个独特的可互操作的网关，并添加先进的算法，通过预测需求和可再生能源发电，预测盗窃和技术停电地点以及确定电网中的备用容量来提高电网效率。电网运营商可以使用OrxaGrid的网络/移动的仪表板采取积极措施缓解能源三难困境。
