MSETCL and ISRO-NRSC Sign MoU for Phase-2 Development of Web-Based Decision Support System
Maharashtra: The Maharashtra State electricity Transmission Company Limited (MSETCL), under the Ministry of Energy, government of maharashtra, has partnered with the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), ISRO, to advance the Phase-2 development of a Web-Based Decision Support System (DSS). The MoU was signed to strengthen planning, monitoring, and operational efficiency of Maharashtra’s Extra High Voltage (EHV) transmission network.Key HighlightsObjective of the DSSThe Web-Based Decision Support System is designed to aid decision-making in the planning, maintenance, and monitoring of the state’s EHV transmission infrastructure.It leverages satellite data, geospatial mapping, and predictive analytics to enhance grid reliability and efficiency.Role of ISRO-NRSCNRSC will provide advanced satellite imagery, geospatial analysis, and remote sensing expertise.These technologies will help in identifying potential network bottlenecks, planning expansions, and preventing outages.Benefits for MSETCL and MaharashtraImproved real-time monitoring of transmission lines and substations.Enhanced decision-making capabilities for maintenance and expansion planning.Reduced operational risks and outages, leading to more reliable power supply.Phase-2 DevelopmentBuilds upon Phase-1, which established the basic framework and data integration.Phase-2 will focus on advanced analytics, predictive maintenance features, and user-friendly web interdata-faces.ConclusionThe collaboration between MSETCL and ISRO-NRSC represents a significant step toward modernizing Maharashtra’s power transmission infrastructure using geospatial technology and decision support tools. By integrating satellite data and predictive analytics, the Web-Based DSS aims to enhance efficiency, reliability, and planning capabilities for the state’s EHV network.
