Shri Piyush Goyal delivered a Special Address at the India Smart Grid Week 2016

organised by ISGF from 16 to 18 March 2016 at Manekshaw Center, New Delhi. In his

address, he complemented the technological prowess displayed at ISGW 2016 and

mentioned the necessity of conducting such events for the growth and sustained

progress of the power sector in India. Highlights of Shri Goyal's Address are:

'Distinguished gentlemen on the dais, off the dais, ladies and gentlemen. In fact I am

extremely impressed by what I have just had an opportunity to see. The exhibition

showcases some really outstanding innovations, technologies and interventions that

can transform our own energy sector. I am extremely grateful to the organisers for

putting together the companies from around the world and I am particularly grateful to

Sweden for it is partnership for engaging with India. I am sure in the days to come,

government of India is focussed on creating smart grids which is an integral part of

our smart cities program. This particular smart grid initiative is only going to be the first

step towards India's future in the creation of technology enabled and really efficient

electricity networks across the country.

Shri Piyush GoyalHonorable Minister of Power, Coal and New & Renewable Energy

www.indiasmartgrid.org2 | SMART GRID Bulletin | Volume 1, Issue 7 | April 2016

Today we are probably the fourth largest electricity consuming country in the

world. Of course given our size, it is extremely inadequate and I think we have to

move quickly towards being at least the second largest power consumer given

our size and scale and that is the mission this government has set out to do; 24

by 7 affordable energy access to every person in this country and that's what I

am personally committed to and I am sure that's what all my colleagues on the

dias are committed to and that's the partnership that I would like to invite all of

you to participate in; and that's the effort and initiative which cannot be achieved

unless we can all work together to not only give access to everybody but also

make it affordable, make it technology enabled so that people have the ability to

control their usage, people have the ability to know what they are spending,

people have the ability to use energy efficiency to save on their spending and

people have the ability to hold me accountable along with all my other colleagues

if we are not able to give them 24 by 7 power.

To my mind this initiative of bringing together all the stakeholders on one platform

and helping us and educating us in crafting the programme right will be a very

great contribution to our efforts and I must thank you once again. I do hope that in the days to come all of you can sit down as a team,

smaller roundtables, interaction amongst yourselves and help me to achieve my objective and my objective is very simple, very

transparent, extremely doable.

I want to see that by 2019, the original targets that we had set was by the year 2022, we have just advanced it by 3 years because of all

that we have seen you all can achieve; and because of all that I saw in the exhibition today, I am more and more convinced that this

revised 3 years advanced target to reach our goal for power for all, affordable power for all, quality power for all is achievable by 2019. I

urge you sir to lead the technology initiative and help us through all your partners. For example I was most impressed with the village

smart grids that one of the innovation companies just showed me. We need to look at innovative solutions which are cost effective,

which can be immediately scaled up, get the benefits of economies of scale, see how we can do the work transparently, honestly and

give equal opportunity to all, see what technology can bring to the table, to drive down costs, use innovative financial models which can

be win-win for all stakeholders.

We had an interaction with the mobile companies to see if we could integrate mobiles penetration into people's homes and I saw little

bit of that in one of the stalls here too. How telephony, smart meters and both of them integrating into smart grids can be achieved and

to my mind that could be achieved with zero investment either by the consumers or by the power companies. So I believe if we all work

together, all stakeholders take this up as a mission, my own personal desire, commitment and those of you who have worked with me a

little bit know that sometimes I shoot off the top of my head, but then we all work together to make that happen. I want to keep

monitoring to see that the quality doesn't suffer as the prices come down and technology and quality are two things which are non-

negotiable. I would not like any costs to fall at the cost of the best of class modern technology and the best state of the art quality.

So I am quite sure that my target that I am going to set today for all of you in this distinguished gathering that we would like to see smart

meters in every establishment and home in this country which means that you have a business opportunity of 250 million smart meters

in India in the next 3 and a half years and we want to make that happen, we want to achieve this at a price point which should be in 3

digits, that is, Rs. 999! We want smart meters at Rs. 999 and I am confident that with your blessings, your innovation, your technological

prowess, your support and with the partnership that we can all work in, we can have completely two way communicable, wireless or

wired smart meters. The poorest and the most deprived person, the last man at the bottom of the pyramid in India will be provided with

basic amenities like power so that every child in this country has access to electricity, so that he can study well and add value to the

growth and development of India. Every person gets good quality healthcare, every mother doesn't have to worry about health of her

children and delivery of her next child. In fact every dimension of human existence can be transformed with good quality power and

that's the mission we have all set out for us. I compliment all of you for your commitment for this sector and I appeal to you earnestly.

Let us make this 250 million smart meters leading to every part of India becoming smarter and smarter, our children becoming smarter,

our cities becoming smarter, our infrastructure working well to serve the people of India. Thank you all very much for your cooperation

and support and I wish the organisers the very best for this event.

Smart Grid Updates: Technology & Projects

Cyan Technology wins order for smart metering worth £10 million in Iran

Graphene to generate electricity from rain

Cyan Technology, an ISGF Member, recently won an order worth £10 million from telecommunications contractor Micromodje for a 360,000 unit smart electricity metering implementation in Iran. This purchase order is for the supply of both, Cyan's CyLec Advanced Metering Infrastructure hardware solution and its Head-End Software. The 360,000 units will be installed for high value, high demand customers that represent an estimated 25% of total national power consumption of Iran. Read more: http://bit.ly/1qrahGD

Researchers at the Ocean University of China have created a solar cell that uses rain water to generate electricity. They added graphene to a dye-sensitised solar cell and put them on a flexible and transparent backing of Indium Tin oxide and plastic. Rain water, being impure, contains salts that split up into positive and negative ions. Graphene's electrons attract the positive ions which result in separated layers of positive and negative ions thus acting like a capacitor to store energy. Read more: http://bit.ly/1qrahGD

Prize Money and Winners

ISGF and European Commission (DG ENER) & the European Union Delegation in Delhi are jointly organising a series of Smart Grid Workshops in India and Europe. The first of the series was held in Nice, France in June 2015 and second was held in Vienna in Nov 2015. Leading technology companies and utilities from Europe and select group of policy makers and industry members from India participated in the workshops.

The Third EU-India Smart Grid Workshop will be held during 06 – 08 July 2016 in Bornholm Island, Denmark. Bornholm Island is experimenting with integration of wind energy and electric vehicles to be completely independent from the Danish grid; and well on its way to be the first in the world that will meet 100% electricity from renewable energy sources. The focus of the workshop will be on upscaling and deployment of smart grid demonstrations in India and the lessons learned from large renewable energy and smart grid deployment projects in the EU nations. Several key decision makers from utilities, ministries and regulatory commissions from India will be participating in this workshop.

To join the India delegation, please write to: Alakh: [email protected].
