Power Grid Loss Reduction and Smart Metering Rollout in Baku

培训项目概述

Electrical distribution networks across Central Asia face operational challenges linked to aging physical infrastructure and non-technical distribution losses. This four-day intensive programme in Baku provides engineering and operations personnel with structured methods to audit, isolate, and mitigate system losses. Participants examine network modernization strategies, focusing on the interface between physical grid substructure and modern automated data acquisition systems, establishing a baseline for sustainable utility management in line with international power distribution engineering standards.

The curriculum addresses the transition from legacy metering to advanced automated metering infrastructure (AMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) deployments. Attendees study system interoperability, examining IEC 61968 and IEC 61850 protocols alongside DLMS/COSEM communication standards. Instruction focuses on practical network mapping, feeder metering, distribution transformer monitoring, and the data integration required to identify administrative discrepancies, meter tampering, and unmetered consumption within complex urban and rural grid topographies.

Delivered through practical analytical workshops, the training equips practitioners to draft technical specifications and operational rollout schedules tailored to utility-scale modernizations. Participants evaluate the economic and engineering trade-offs of physical network rehabilitation versus digital monitoring solutions. By bridging policy requirements with ground-level field deployment, the course ensures technical teams can execute systematic loss reduction interventions that comply with the governance, reporting, and operational benchmarks of multilateral development institutions.

Distribution utilities in Central Asia, particularly in Kyrgyzstan, face urgent mandates to reinforce operational viability and cut commercial losses under major public utility investments, including the US$50m Electricity Sector Modernization and Sustainability Project. Implementing digital metering solutions, establishing transformer-level energy accounting, and upgrading control architectures are critical prerequisites for network stability, financial recovery, and meeting verifiable delivery indicators established by international development financiers.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Baku, Azerbaijan, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.
