the need for strengthening the distribution systems and enhancing revenue streams is receiving
the highest priority. The Utilities are also providing a focused effort towards this.
Keeping pace with the developments in the sector, the conference aims to provide the participants
an understanding on the Distribution reforms, electricity distribution in present systems and
practices, exposure to the latest trends and technology advances, identification and design of
improvement projects for system augmentation, AT&C loss evaluation and reduction schemes,
improvement in reliability and overall consumer satisfaction.
The discovered smart grid concept enables us an access to an efficient way for solving the issues
of environment protection, energy saving, emission reduction and renewable energy resources
problems, which coincides with our conference goal.
