ENERGY AUDIT & ENERGY ACCOUNTING OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

STRATEGY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF ENERGY ACCOUNTING SYSTEM Development of Responsibility Areas of Different Officials in the Organization. Metering System of Requisite Quality. Regular Review of Metering Systems Health.

MIS on Energy Account, Billing & Revenue Collection

Norms of Checking the Reasonableness of Energy Account Up gradation of Billing and Revenue Collection

Follow up Through Monthly Meetings to Review Metering, Energy Account, Billing, Revenue Collection and Disconnection.
Periodic Higher Level Review.

ACTIVITIES FOR CONDUCTING ENERGY ACCOUNTING

Adoption of software for energy accounting & reporting, for identification of sources/causes of losses (energy & cash). Assessment of losses, pinpointing the loss causing segments, devising measures for elimination of avoidable losses. Out of norm consumption to be identified. Improving follow up mechanism and removing errors in the reporting formats. Stringent follow up at various levels in the organisation.

PROBLEMS IN ENERGY AUDITING

Energy consumption of installations is not accurate due to Human errors in taking readings. Meters not recording accurately within prescribed class of accuracy. Meters not recording in light load conditions. Meters not recording and stopped. Assessment in respect of unmetered consumption. Meters recording more/ less than actual consumption.

Energy balance

Energy Sale = Metered Sale

Energy Audit efforts = Energy Input - Energy billed
Energy input Energy billed = Metered Sale + Unmetered Sale

PROCEDURE

Input
Accuracy of metering. Correct meter reading.

Sale From I.T. Section. Metered Billing

DTC ENERGY ACCOUNTING

1. Installation of proper metering system on DTCs. 2. Consumer indexing on the DTCs. 3. Input Consumption recorded by DTC 4. Sale From I.T. Section According to Billing cycles. 5. Energy Accounting over a period of time to identify high loss making DTCs 6. Remedial measures.

CASE STUDY OF HADAPSAR SUB-DIVISION

1. IN BOTH THE CASES NO.1 AND NO.2 THE CONNECTED LOAD WAS 65 HP

2. THE TOTAL ENERGY ASSESSED WAS @ 3,80,000 UNITS FOR PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS 3. THUS TOTAL ENERGY BILLED ADDED BY ASSESSMENT IS 3,80,000 UNITS FOR 6 MONTHS TO MSEDCL. 4. COMPOUNDING OF RS. 26,00,000 WAS CHARGED FOR BOTH CONSUMERS.

CASE STUDY OF HADAPSAR SUB-DIVISION 1. DUPLICATE cases were found due following CMS activity: a. THE NEW CONSUMER WAS ALLOCATED TO BOTH DIVISION i.e. TO BUNDGARDEN AS WELL AS NAGAR ROAD DIVISION DUE TO WHICH THERE WAS LOSS OF REVENUE. b. THE MINI MASTER IN CMS DID NOT ACCEPT THE DATA AND WAS REJECTED BY THE SYSTEM, BUT WAS FORCEFULLY ACCEPTED THROUGH BACKEND AT IT CENTER. c. THIS ACTIVITY IS COMPELETED THROUGH NSC FEEDING (B-34) 2. UNBILLED cases were found due to following CMS activity: a. THE DATA ENTRY OF METER INVENTORY BY LOT i.e. THE METER ALLOCATED TO SUB-DIVISION ARE REGISTERED INTO THE CMS DATABASE. b. THEN ALLOCATED METER ARE SELECTED FOR NEW SERVICE CONNECTION (B-34) OR METER REPLACEMENT (B-19/B25) FROM CMS DATABASE. c. THE SPOT VERIFICATION OF PD CASES FROM LINE STAFF AND S.O. WERE UPDATED FOR BILLING PURPOSE.

3. THE LT SPECIAL CONSUMER WHERE NOT HAVING DTC CODES: a. THE METERING FOR LT SPECIAL CONSUMER WAS UNDER HT CATEGORY , DUE TO WHICH THE DTC CODE WAS NOT ALLOCATED. THIS RESULTED IN FALSE ENERGY ACCOUNTING. b. THIS WAS FOUND OUT FROM THE DETAILED LIST GENERATED THROUGH CMS AND CATEGORY WISE CONSUMPTION. c. THE DTC CODES WHERE UPDATED THROUGH CIRCLE OFFICE.
