Description:1. FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention generally relates to a system for power distribution network management and particularly to a system and method of power distribution network management in urban and rural area through centralized information technology based system.

BACKGROUND
Electric power distribution is a critical component of the electric power system and plays a vital role in providing reliable and affordable electricity to consumers. The electric power distribution network comprises of transmission lines, distribution lines, substations, transformers, and other equipment that distribute electricity to homes, businesses, and industries. Conventionally it has been observed in the Country that Operational Technology (OT) Systems such as Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA), Distribution Management System (DMS), and Outage Management System (OMS) etc. are largely implemented in urban areas of the Power Distribution Utility. By virtue of the same a better visibility and control is achieved only on the urban power distribution network. Although better operational control is achieved in pockets, however an effective system of comprehensive operational, safety, outage & reporting management is not fully achieved .Add to this fact that we gain control only on a part of the Power Distribution Utility under the OT system while the balance (mostly larger part) of the system continues to operate as per the historical approach creating a disparity both for the consumers and the Power Distribution Utility. Presently there is no single system that can comprehensively and uniformly operate, maintain and also report for the overall Power Distribution Utility that encompasses the Urban Automated Power Distribution Network, Rural Non Automated Power Distribution Network, and Mix of both Automated and Non Automated Power Distribution Network on a common platform.
US10652633B2 discloses A smart grid network is provided including one or more transformer monitoring devices configured to collect metering data from one or more metering devices in the smart grid network. The smart grid network further includes a cloud-based data processing and storage system with one or more cloud data processors configured to receive data from one or more transformer monitoring devices and process the received data into categories including at least a first category of data comprising the collected metering data. The cloud-based data processing and storage system further includes at least one data store to store data of at least the first category of data, an analytics platform configured to analyze the received and categorized data, and a graphics server configured to format the analyzed data for display on a user device of the smart grid network.
The existing invention does not provide control over the overall power distribution network. The existing invention does not provide visibility of distant substations and power distribution networks. The existing invention does not provide a system to ensure the safety of workers working on the power distribution network. Hence, there is a need for the present invention.
