Velankani Group: Driving Better Efficiency with Scalable Smart Grid Solutions
Jayesh Dubey, Key person
A surging demand for energy has led to the adoption of smart grid technologies to overcome the nuances of the prevailing conventional electric systems such as the handicapped distribution system from frequent and long duration outages. While smart grid solutions assist consumers to economize their power usage, offer accurate billing, eliminate manual intervention, reduce carbon footprint and assure lesser power outages, consumers demand solutions that not only promise easy deployment and a robust solution but can assure scalability in the future. Headquartered in Bangalore, Velankani Group with their team of industry experts leverages their partnership with ST Micro electronics, a global semiconductor leader, to deliver innovative and robust solutions across the broad spectrum of electronics application. This alliance combines ST’s industry expertise and their cutting-edge components with Velankani’s competency in the manufacturing vertical and complete understanding of the Indian market to guide India towards an advanced metering infrastructure.
With limited dependency on external vendors, Velankani possesses the capabilities to facilitate clients with their in-house industrial design team, design experts for moulds with its all-encompassing manufacturing facilities such as plastic injection moulding machine, tool room, corrugated box manufacturing, powder coating plant and so on. In parallel with advanced technologies and delivery of high quality products with optimized performance standards, the
company proffers PRYSM Smart Meters, a novel product that has been engineered to achieve maximum power delivery and offer an accessible two way communication across the grid, enabling end user energy management, minimized power disruptions and transports only the required amount of power. The solution is future-proof that promises utility companies scalability and access to a gamut of future business opportunities and applications. Delving deeper into the offering, PRYSM Smart Meters are based on STCOMET Smart Metering SoC integrated with multi standards power line communication modem, a high-performance application core, encapsulates the processing energy of the current advanced communication protocol, accurate metrology,and energy calculator, and multiple layers of security.

The smart grid is a complex architecture that is susceptible to significant security attacks. Spearheading this challenge, the PRYSM smart meters are enabled with an antitamper functionality to counter and minimize the impact of any security breach. The aforementioned antitamper function detects reverse connection and measurement, magnetic disturbance and current bypass. In addition to this, the product is designed to recognize hampering of the meter cover and terminal cover. Furthermore, the feature rich product can also identify current bypass, missing neutral, missing potential and auto disconnection caused by any tampering.
With India taking several initiatives towards the electricity evolution, Velankani envisions to con¬tinue making notable contributions towards helping build a smarter digital world. Propelling India’s digital movement, the company is working towards adding a host of products into their existent smart grid inventory such as Gas Meters, Water Meter, HT Smart Meters and Prepaid Meters that are scheduled to launch in the near future.
