The project is a smart grid system which addresses brownouts and blackouts when power requirement from homes and businesses outpaces power production.
Honeywell technology and services are being used by TPDDL to connect over 160 buildings in its distribution network to reduce energy use.
It will also reduce costs, and help in further enhancing supply efficiency. Honeywell said the use of ADR will enable the grid operator to have a new, domestic resource to help ease stress on transmission and distribution lines.
ADR also helps in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the move to run expensive peaking facility.
TPDDL will be capable of reducing about 11.5MW of peak demand. Electricity consumption is expected drop an estimated 10.5GW if the same technology were implemented across all facilities in India, the company claimed.
TPDDL is using Honeywell’s Akuacom software as a service (SaaS) and smart meters to communicate with the building systems at the participating sites.
It will automatically apply the load-shed measures in case of overburden on the grid .
Honeywell India president Anant Maheshwari said: "TPDDL is steering the country toward a smarter, more dynamic electrical grid where utilities and their customers collaborate to solve broad challenges.
"This project will help support the development and expansion of smart grid solutions in India."
