GeoElectricity

Asia is the most dynamic region for the electricity market today. With increasing economic activities and improving living standards, the electricity sector is going to witness an era of high growth quick transitions. Huge investments are lined up in capacity augmentation, renewable energy, distributed generation, grid expansion, IT applications, smart grid etc. The resultant increase in size and expansion of applications will make business processes highly complex and intricate. Geospatial technologies like GIS mapping, remote sensing, GNSS etc., which have been at the peripheries, will now have to play a foundational role for the electricity companies. It has not only significantly reduced the complexity of business, but it has also enabled the utilities in making quick and much better-informed decisions. The GeoEnergy symposium at Asia Geospatial Forum, 2014 in Jakarta would be a big step in the same direction of spreading awareness, catalysing its spread and fuelling this on-going thrust especially on the transmission, distribution and renewable energy.

Role of Geospatial Technologies in Aiding the Modernisation of the Electricity Set-up
Geospatial solutions are sure to become more ubiquitous throughout the entire value chain of the electricity sector. This session would have presentations from industry evangelists and will focus on the larger picture of geospatial domain in the electricity sector, its present status, future trajectory and the way ahead towards exploiting its true potential. We have also invited presentations from utilities with some of the best implementation cases, so as to enable others to learn from their experiences.

Geospatial Technologies for Renewable, Distributed Generation and Transmission
With the challenge of meeting the fast-growing demand for electricity and at the same time checking the carbon emissions, the role of renewable and small scale distribution generation projects has assumed a whole new significance. The objective of this session would be on demonstrating the features of geospatial technologies towards functions like resource potential mapping of a region, site evaluation, transmission corridor planning, right-of-way management, environment impact assessment and monitoring etc. The importance of these technologies in planning and setting up distributed generation schemes would also be discussed during this session

Foundation of a Modern-day Electricity Distribution System
Electricity Distribution companies in Asia are facing myriad problems related to effective and efficient operations of the networks. Issue related to asset management, network monitoring and planning and ensuring quality of service to the consumers continues to occupy the mind-share of decision-makers. Geospatial technologies have come up as a foundational aspect towards meeting these ever-growing and increasingly more complex challenges. Also, with the advent of smart grid applications, the world is now gradually moving towards an electricity grid that is not only efficient but highly responsive too. The focus of this session would be on establishing the role of geospatial technologies in a modern-day distribution set up and on exploring the possibilities with geo-referenced consumer, network and asset information.
