IntroductionAfter the successful completion of first Certificate Course on Smart Grids in 2015, India Smart Grid Forum is pleased to announce

nd st2 Batch starting from 1 August 2016 in association with Tata Power Delhi Distribution Ltd and VJTI, Mumbai.

SMART Grid benefits the Power Utilities in reduction of AT & Losses, Reduction in Operational Cost, better Outage/Network Fault management, Renewables Integration, Enhanced Customer Experience and Preparedness for the Future Technologies, etc.

To adopt SMART Grid PAN India, Government of India has recently approved the National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM), which is going to launch a new set of smart grid projects all across the country. The key focus of the next round of smart grid projects would be to leverage the assets created under R-APDRP to transform the distribution utilities to Smarter Grids with low incremental cost. For successful implementation of other programs that the GoI has recently launched, such as Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS), 24x7 Power for All, new RE Program for 175 GW by 2022, 100 Smart Cities, Electric Mobility Mission with a target of 6-7 million EVs by 2022 etc, utilities need to adopt Smart Grid technologies at a faster pace. In SMART Grid Domain, the technology is just one piece of the puzzle but success of Smart Grid squarely depends on knowledgeable and skilled professionals who will implement and operate the new systems.

Forum of Regulators (FoR) has approved a Model Smart Grid Regulations that are being issued by each State Electricity Regulatory Commissions. Assam, Karnataka and Tripura SERCs have already issued draft regulations and Haryana has notified the draft regulations; and other states are also expected to notify smart grid regulations soon. As per the model smart grid regulations, all licensees are expected to setup a Smart Grid Cell within three months of notification of the smart grid regulations. In order to man these Smart Grid Cells, all utilities need to train their engineers and managers on Smart Grid technologies. This 2 months certification program will prepare engineers and managers to create the Smart Grid Cells.

India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) is a public private partnership of the Ministry of Power (Mo), Govt. of India with the mandate of accelerating smart grid deployments across the country. ISGF assists MoP in policies and programs related to smart grids; and also work closely with MNRE, MoHI, MoUD, DoT, NCIIPC, BIS, and DST on various initiatives related to renewables, electric vehicles, smart cities, communications, cyber security, standards and R&D. ISGF has been actively engaged in training and capacity building programs on various aspects of Smart Grids for past 3 years.

Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (Tata Power-DDL) is a joint venture between Tata Power Limited and the Government of NCT of Delhi with the majority stake being held by Tata Power Company (51%). Tata Power-DDL distributes electricity in North and North West parts of Delhi and serves a population of 7 million.

Tata Power-DDL has been the frontrunner in implementing power distribution reforms in the national capital and is acknowledged for its consumer friendly practices. Tata Power-DDL has successfully implemented technologies like SCADA-DMS-OMS, Automated Meter Reading [AMR], Automated Demand Response [ADR], Geographical Information System [GIS], ERP, Billing and Integrated Call Centre; and presently implementing Distribution Automation and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) Through integrated use of operational as well information technology Tata Power-DDL has created benchmarks in utility management which has been recognised at many national and international forums.

Tata Power-DDL has a state of the art training centre (campus spread over 10 Acres) located in Rohini, Delhi which is hub of training services for national and international delegates on different themes including Best Practices on Network Automation, AT&C Loss Reduction, Distribution Technologies, Commercial Processes, Operational Processes and Leadership Development for more than 10 years. In addition to this Tata Power-DDL has setup the country's first Smart Grid Lab which demonstrates several latest smart grid technologies.

The Veermata Jijabai Technological Institute (VJTI) in Mumbai is one of the oldest institutes in the country with a legacy of more than 125 years of academic excellence. The institute is well known for its diploma, degree, and post graduate level programs in Engineering & Technology. With its aim of achieving greater visibility through focus on research, innovations, and technology incubation, the institute provides rich knowledge on several ground breaking research areas.

ISGF along with Tata Power-DDL and VJTI is pleased to announce the Second Batch of Smart Grid Certification Course for 8 weeks ststarting from 1 August, 2016. This course has been developed as a unique and first-of-a-kind program on Smart Grids that will

prepare engineers from utilities, regulatory commissions, industry, senior officers from government departments, faculty members from engineering colleges and fresh graduates to understand the nuances of smart grid technologies, architectures, standards, business models and implementation experiences of successful projects. This 2 months program will not only cover the foundations of the Smart Grids but also add a practical flavour by deep diving into the details of core challenges that need to be addressed on various dimensions of it including hands on training sessions and field visits.

ISGF is a neutral body that comprises of experts from all stakeholder sections including ministries, utilities, regulators, technology providers, academia and students. As an advisory body to the Ministry of Power, Government of India, the views of the Forum are more holistic and technology and vendor neutral

Tata Power-DDL has the unique experience of being the first Indian utility to have implemented several of latest technology interventions in the field of SMART GRID in an integrated manner. Tata Power DDL has also taken many initiatives in the field of Renewable Energy by setting many solar plants, setting up of Electric Vehicle charging Stations, Demand Response System for managing the Peak Load, Net Metering and Demand Side Management Projects. TATA POWER-DDL is also India's first utility working with world's best SMART Utilities under the platform of Global Intelligent Utility Network Coalition (GIUNC). The GIUNC is a group of select utilities globally that collaborates to shape, accelerate, and share in the development of the Intelligent Utility Networks (IUN) or Smart Grids.

VJTI is a well-known academic institution with several years of experience in various fields of study. They also conduct research on several smart grid related areas such as cyber security, cascade-failures etc. The participants can take advantage of the experience and knowledge gained from the various activities at VJTI.

Smart Grid technologies are essential for successful implementation of all flagship programs of Government of India such as

24x7 Power for All

100 Smart Cities

175 GW Renewable Energy by 2022

Program Rationale

6-7 million Electric Vehicles by 2022

Separation of Carriage and Content as envisaged in the amendments to Electricity Act 2003

UDAY and IPDS

The Model Smart Grid Regulations issued by Forum of Regulators mandates all licensees to establish a Smart Grid Cell within 3 months of issuance of smart grid regulations by respective SERCs

National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) framework envisage a state level Smart Grid Mission and Smart Grid Cell in the Energy Department in each state

The electric grid in India is fast changing with increasing share of renewable energy resources connected at the low voltage grid and to operate and maintain the grid with two-way power flow Smart Grid technologies are required

In order to address the above requirements, it is imperative to build a cadre of Smart Grid Experts in all electric utilities in India

The 8 weeks full time certificate course on smart grids aim to supplement technical and managerial skills by providing updated knowledge in smart grid areas through conceptual knowledge and experiential learning

Participants will be imparted with skills and knowledge to better appreciate/understand smart grid - related issues, leading to better business decisions. It will also help them keep abreast of contemporary issues affecting different business activities and the way other countries are tackling them.
