The smart world is happening. It is true. With a remote device fitted into your mobile you can open your doors, switch on and off the television, air conditioner, the geyser, the washing machine, the music system, the lights and the fans and just about any switch controlled device in your home and workplace. Much before the Android Home concept could become a reality, a wide range of companies are providing high tech gadget remote controls based on apps that could use just about any platform your smart phone may be wired to. Besides smart controls are not limited to the gadget world alone. It goes beyond right from energy generation, transmission and distribution to devices that you control at your home
The concept of the smart world started with remotely controlling all parameters of operation of any electrical , electronic, hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical device that forms a part of an utility with the help of IT. For that an utility needs to be fully mapped. A water supply line or your piped gas could be smart controlled. The entire distribution network of the utility is mapped along with the flow being logged real time in all branches of the net-work. Once that happens it is easy to monitor or control the distribution from either a central controlling station or local control centers depending on demand and supply. This helps also in the billing process as smart meters are able to immediately compute the supplied commodity and process it again with the help of IT.
However today it is not only the distribution cycle that is controlled by Information Technology based feedback. The Generation and Transmission are also accurately monitored , metered and mapped and the smallest fluctuations in voltage and current are immediately fed to the load distribution centers, equalizing load and if needed distributing and cutting of excess loads. This not only helps the grid safety and lesser number of break downs but also tells the generating and transmission authorities about the patterns of load and the peak load amount and duration.
In future such peaks periods are going to be high tariff hours while times like late night are going to be low tariff periods. So if you want to save money synchronize the time schedule during low tariff hours with heavy consumption machines like washing machines or your water pump and become a smart consumer in this brave new world.
