Sharika Enterprises Ltd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with ‘Engineering Center Energoservice’ (ENS) for advanced grid monitoring solutions.
The MoU is aimed at cooperation in power system monitoring solutions in India and provides Sharika Enterprises with the exclusive right to market and distribute ENS’s cutting-edge grid protection, condition monitoring solutions, including transformers, throughout the country.
Transformer condition monitoring systems of ENS use synchrophasor measurements to monitor, and ensure the health of power transformers. The ENS systems offer real-time data and analytics that help minimise operational risks and avoid expensive downtimes in power grids. The collaboration aims to make grid reliability and performance better in India.
A prime product of this partnership is the Intelligent Digital Device (ENIP-2) and its modules. All these products are intended for measurement, time synchronisation, display, input-output and communication.
The partnership is also extended to Wide Area Monitoring Systems (WAMS), stabilizing power grids through synchronized Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) and real-time monitoring units.
Sharika Enterprises has already started discussions with ENS for setting up a manufacturing plant in India. The project may take shape either under technology transfer or as a joint venture. It will facilitate the localisation of ENS’ cutting-edge products aligning with the ‘Make in India’ initiative and also make these leading-edge digital power solutions available to Indian utilities at a reduced cost.
Speaking on the occasion Rajinder Kaul, Chairman & Managing Director, Sharika Enterprises, said, “We are honoured to collaborate with Engineering Center Energoservice, a digital power technologies leader and this partnership is a major milestone in our quest to upgrade India’s power grid infrastructure. Together, we look forward to introduce innovative technologies in India and provide an efficient, sustainable and dependable power system benefitting the industries across the spectrum.”
Fleyshman Igor L., General Director at Engineering Center Energoservice added, “We look forward to co-operating with Sharika Enterprises, which is well-acquainted with and experienced in the Indian power sector. Sharika’s proven experience in the Indian market and familiarisation with Indian requirements makes it an optimum fit as a business partner for us. Together we aim to build robust power grid in India and meet the country’s energy efficiency initiatives.”
