Abstract:
Every year, the demand of electricity is
increasing by 6-8 per cent, while production is
not increasing in the same ratio. Due to this
reason, the gap between demand and supply is
constantly increasing. To reduce this gap, there
are two alternative ways: one is to generate
more electricity, which requires huge
investment and second is to conserve the
electricity from utility side that is Demand side.
The generation capacity in our country is
around 1,05,000 MW, but due to inefficiency
of power system, lack of advanced meters at
various stages viz. generation, transmission and
distribution, about 40 percent of energy is
wasted. Therefore, there is urgent need to
improve the efficiency of the power system
from generating point to consumer end to
reduce this wastage of energy. Simultaneously,
it is required to give an attention for
conservation of energy at all levels, otherwise
our country may lag behind.
The Demand Side Management is a strong tool
for Energy Management and Conservation in
industries. For effective energy management
and conservation, IT based Energy Auditing is
employed, where-in computers are used for
data storage and display. By connecting clampon meters with computers, it is possible to have
data management, network communication,
remote monitoring, report formats, harmonics
data analysis etc.
This paper explains how conservation and
management of electrical energy can be made
possible by using computers and advanced
metering technologies in industrial sector.

For todays Networked-data environment, the
MobileCorder is an innovative paperless
recorder designed and with a wide-viewingangle TFT colors display, Ethernet port, and
removable storage media (floppy disks,
PCMCIA and ATA flash memory cards, and
Zip disks). This data logger can be used as a
standalone unit or in a networked environment.
Meter screen data can be displayed on a www
browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0/5.5).
When screen auto-update mode is selected on
the browser, the screen on the browser is
automatically updated every 30 seconds. The
user can also change the screen display type
(trend display, digital display, bar graph
display, historical trend display, etc.) and
display groups, and enter messages through the
