Payesh Platform

Multiple software programs have been developed to decrease the concerns of senior managers in the electricity industry, power utilities, and investors, and to make the country’s electricity industry smarter. In recent years, there has been an increased need to make the country’s electricity grid smarter, leading to a faster deployment of smart meters in various regions of the electricity distribution and sub-transmission grid. Especially during times of imbalanced generation and consumption of energy, software solutions that provide visibility and controllability over the country’s consumption load have become a powerful tool for managers and planners. These solutions enable them to manage the supply and demand of energy and distribute electric energy more efficiently during peak loads, with minimal social and economic consequences. Payesh is one of the largest energy management systems in the country, distinguished by its ability to analyze and process big data from smart systems and integrate them with other relevant information that impacts network and consumer behavior, through data mining with the help of artificial intelligence. Payesh aggregates data from Shahab MDM and other MDMs (Meter Data Management) to record and process the real-time generation and consumption of electricity in the country. Effective management and control of energy consumption through the use of visibility enables the comparison of each customer’s consumption over time and allows for the prediction of consumer behavior based on these comparisons. Payesh offers a comprehensive view of the power grid, displaying separate production related to the sub-transmission and distribution feeders, solar panels, distribution transformers, and dedicated generators, as well as consumption data for industrial, commercial, household, agricultural, and road lighting tariffs and other customers on an hourly basis. By combining this information with real-time power grid events and geographic information like temperature and humidity, the system provides experts and managers in various departments of power utilities with valuable insight into the future behavior of the network as well as the state of each point on the grid. This information is crucial in anticipating upcoming challenges and making smarter decisions to maintain network stability. By incorporating the average temperature curve of each city into Payesh systems, the impact of temperature on consumption can be observed. Temperature is an important indicator for forecasting consumption load, enabling the prediction of cooling or heating loads in each region.

Here is a summary of Payesh features:

• Helping consumption managers to identify misbehaving customers
• Determining the level of cooperation and facilitating the reduction of consumption for subscribers who participate in summer peak-shaving plans
• Recording the level of cooperation of subscribers separately
• Comparing the amount of energy reduction promised by power utilities with the actual amount achieved
• Viewing the online and offline status of smart meters
• Reporting meter alarms
• Load profile report (power consumption, demand, current, voltage, active and reactive energy with different tariffs)
• Analyzing electrical parameters of smart meters
• Monitoring the data received and sent by the web services
• Providing quick responses to tickets and user guidance

The system is accessible from different access levels, including:
