Yet another challenge is energy access to a large population
in rural India, Asia Latin America and Africa. As many as four
hundred million citizens in rural India are deprived of access to
energy [1]. As these regions have inadequate energy
infrastructure, electrification of households is almost
impossible. These parts of the world require immediate
attention to find solutions to sustain and meet their energy
requirements. These under-serviced areas need to equip
themselves to meet demand by switching to alternate renewable and sustainable technologies; The Ministry of New
and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, could
facilitate this switch through policy. As much as 41.4 GW of
power from renewables has been proposed under this policy
[2]. Of this, 20 GW has been committed from the solar sector
alone by the year 2022 [3].
I.
INTRODUCTION
ver the last century, the world has witnessed rapid
industrialization and development with progress in
conventional electricity generation, transmission
and distribution. The progress made in electrical power
infrastructure has spurred subsequent developments in
industrial, manufacturing and telecom infrastructure. With
increasing recognition of climate change and the harmful
effects of greenhouse gases, renewable energy (both utility
scale wind and solar farms and off-grid distributed generation)
has been gaining prominence.

device is provided with a RS-232 serial port for regular servicelevel firmware updates. These updates are done on a bi-annual
basis by an employee designated by the USP for synchronizing
key codes.

The cloud will process the request and send a confirmation
to the end-user via TSP. The cloud sends the confirmation and
the serial key which is to be validated by the RED Box through
the TSP. This is done through the URL provided by the TSP
also. The TSP customer interaction will be as:

C. The Cloud
The cloud implemented by the USP is the source of
intelligence of the proposed low-cost system. This provides the
Utility Service Provider provital information. The cloud is the
core for computational operations. The cloud is the
intermediary between the USP, the TSP and works in the
background for the customer. Due to the large computational
and storage capacity of the cloud, analytics can be useful for
the USPs business. We classify the cloud operation into three
parts: inputs to the cloud, process running on the cloud and
output from the cloud.
