The electric utility industry is embarking on far-reaching changes.

Utilities are modernizing their power generation and delivery systems. They are making huge investments to improve the efficiency and reliability of the grid, better manage resources, and integrate newer and greener methods of power generation (such as wind energy and rooftop solar arrays). In addition, they are planning to support changes in our lifestyle, such as the increasing popularity of of hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles.

Utilities are planning to achieve these objectives by transforming the current electric grid into a Smart Grid. A Smart Grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using two-way communications from their central control to every part of their system, in order to both monitor and manage all elements in the grid. To provide that communications, each utility is also investing in communications infrastructure, to bring secure networking to every device, so that they can be managed.

A key part of almost every utility's Smart Grid planning is the introduction of smart meters for consumer and commercial users. These smart meters, with the communications infrastructure to link them back to their data centers, will allow the utility to not only monitor power usage for problems, but also offer a variety of pricing plans to encourage conservation, improve efficiency and allow the power system to better respond to demand.

Dhyan's offerings in the Smart Grid space provide the element and network management systems needed for utilities and their vendor partners to have complete control over those devices. The features include configuration, topology display, fault monitoring and performance monitoring, all provided with a flexible, secure management software structure.

We have adapted Dhyan Management Systems (DMS), technology that is being widely used in the telecommunications/networking industry, to the utility market and have delivered Dhyan SmartMan - a mature and robust smart grid device management system that is currently in use in the field.

In addition we are able to leverage our expertise in developing device management software to help you in developing a custom device management solution or help you integrate your device management application with other enterprise applications, or maintain your existing device management application in our cost competitive development center.
