The technology journey of Tata Power DDL commenced in 2002 and has evolved significantly over the years. Automation and digital transformation are ongoing, characterised by multiple phases and continuous enhancements.
The company operates extensively in the North and Northwest regions of Delhi, covering an area of approximately 510 square kilometres and serving a substantial customer base of 2.04 million.
Phases of automation
The initial phase of grid operations involved manual operations and monitoring equipment status across sites. From 2005 to 2010, Tata Power DDL implemented the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, enabling centralised control and real-time monitoring. The company has currently integrated the Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS), enabling comprehensive grid control without manual intervention.

BALANCING GROWTH, SECURITY, AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR SUSTAINABLE ENERGY FUTURE
We will have to continue using a mix of coal and other fossil fuels alongside renewable/ green energy; there is no shortcut to this.
DEMAND LIFTING RE
The Indian solar sector is gearing up for expansion, with projections indicating a manufacturing capacity surge to over 100 gigawatts within the next six months.
Bioenergy and its potential to reduce carbon emissions
Bioenergy is a renewable energy source derived from organic materials biomass), including plants, agricultural residues, forestry by-products, and organic waste. It can be converted into energy through combustion, gasification, anaerobic digestion, and fermentation, serving multiple purposes such as heating, electricity generation, and transportation fuels. As the world seeks to transition from fossil fuels, bioenergy offers a consistent, sustainable energy source that complements intermittent renewables like solar and wind.
Managing energy transition risks
Energy transition is a strategic shift to low-carbon or renewable sources to address climate change and ensure long-term energy security, but it is also fraught with multiple challenges. The authors believe that using an Enterprise Risk Management ERM) framework can help develop comprehensive Strategies to address such challenges.
Technological innovations addressing renewable energy intermittency
Advanced energy storage and smart grids are crucial for stabilising intermittent renewable energy. In contrast, government policies that promote private investment and green energy access are key to reducing emissions in India’s power sector.
GLOBAL ENERGY LANDSCAPE IS EVOLVING TO ADAPT NON-CONVENTIONAL SOURCES
Innovations in energy storage, grid upgrades, and AI-enhanced efficiency drive the energy transition, while geopolitical tensions and supply chain issues stress energy security and diversification.
Fast-growing energy demand spurs focus on renewable security
Advanced solid-state batteries can store more energy in a smaller space, making them ideal for grid applications where high capacity and durability are essential.
The future of sustainable fuels
Hydrogen Is rapidly becoming vital in the global transition to sustainable energy solutions. Innovative technologies and strategic partnerships accelerate hydrogen adoption, especially in Southeast Asia.
Exploring green hydrogen, nuclear alternatives critical for sustainable future
As of September 2024, India's installed capacity is 452 gigawatts, with 34.13 percent contributed by renewable energy sources.
Solar rooftop technology enhances rural energy security, reducing grid inefficiencies
Decentralised renewable energy systems, including solar rooftops, are significant job creators, particularly in rural areas. These systems have higher job creation potential compared to utility-scale solar projects.
