The best in class characteristics of our sophisticated solution

Emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) paves way for smarter solutions that provides efficient and streamlined grid operation while also ensuring continuous supply of quality power. Join hands with WebNMS power grid monitoring solution to be part of the next generation grid revolution.

Built on our IoT platform, power grid monitoring solution acquires data from a series of sensors and Remote Terminal Units (RTU) on various parameters (voltage, switch status, current etc.).This enables the operators to make informed decisions on demand forecast planning, billing and energy accounting.

Remote Monitoring
WebNMS remote monitoring capability enables remote data collection and leverages domain analytics to deliver actionable business insights. Customers can now get a crystal clear picture of overall grid parameters such as the I/O voltage and current, Power factor, load, losses and energy usage on the go. They can be remotely accessed and controlled under a single console and also enable quick decision making in streamlining the grid operations.
Energy Metering
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) takes greater control over energy costs and a more reliable energy supply for consumers. Energy meter helps utilities to have a track of how much energy is been distributed from the grid and consumed at the end point. This in turn enables precise energy accounting, demand forecasting and streamlining grid operations. Smart metering enables consumers to get energy info from utilities on their usage pattern and peak hour pricing. This also helps them in efficient billing and energy planning.
Fault management
Addresses key issues in grid security, failure in distribution network, line losses, overloading etc. Also detects breakage in power lines, transformer issues & circuit breaker flaws, power inequality, fluctuations, equipment faults, over heating of lines and natural calamities that disrupts the grip operations
Our comprehensive system triggers timely alerts and prompts in case of abnormalities or critical issues via automated SMS or mail. It precisely detects faults and segregates it as major and minor issues for planning on-time service and maintenance.
Remote Security & Surveillance
  • Regulate access to remote sites. PIR Sensor detects unauthorized movement in the site or substation and raises an alert
  • Vibration detectors sense and raise an alarm in the event of tampering of high value assets
  • Smoke sensors and temperature sensors detect the breakout of a fire and trigger instant local actions such as raising instant alerts, sounding a hooter at the site, triggering messages to fire department or turning on the water sprinkler system.
  • Monitor the remote sites 24*7 with on-site surveillance cameras and stay updated
  • Door Contact sensors indicate if a substation door is open or closed. An alert is raised if a critical door is open leading to possible hazards
Predictive maintenance
Proactive monitoring determines the condition of power lines, circuit breakers, substation parameters and other related devices to predict when the maintenance/repairs should be performed. This approach promises cost savings as the maintenance is performed only when warranted by making use of insights from WebNMS Advanced Analytics module
Performance Reporting
Hourly/daily/monthly reports can be exported, isolating the good, bad and ugly devices to perform business analytics. Customizable dashboard helps easing out the customer by providing sufficient data that is required. User activity report to keep track of who did what and when!
Geo-location
Take total control of the grid lines and substations from all over the map at a single touch point. Pin points the grid level status and fault indications across various locations of a map. This enables on-time maintenance services and increases the efficiency of grid operations.
Mobile app
With our intuitive mobile app, you can track and access essential information from anywhere across the globe. With the aid of WebNMS solution, vital parameters could be monitored and those tickets with high criticality can be resolved from anywhere, during any hour of the day. IOS & Android application with user-friendly interface enable operators to stay updated with grid performances on the go.
