[www.keralites.net] What is TOD meter ?? KSEB is introducing it in Kerala shortly

 

What is TOD meter ??   Nowadays power cuts are happening in the peak usage timing such as from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This is happening because the power requirement in these times is very high as compared to other off-peak timings. Un-necessary usage must be avoided to eliminate this problem. In many countries electricity providers have  implemented TOD based energy meter to reduce the usage of electricity by increasing rates in Peak hours and reducing rates is Off-peak hours. Time of Day metering (TOD), also known as Time of Usage (TOU) or Seasonal Time of Day (SToD), metering involves dividing the day, month and year into tariff slots and with higher rates at peak load periods and low tariff rates at off-peak load periods. While this can be used to automatically control usage on the part of the customer (resulting in automatic load control), it is often simply the customers responsibility to control his own usage, or pay accordingly (voluntary load control). This also allows the utilities to plan their transmission infrastructure appropriately. (from the net) --Nandakumar
