The system will intelligently monitor power supply in real time at the 11-KV sub-stations and help restore faults nearly 50 per cent faster, a statement issued by BYPL said. The DMS is an integration of different sensors, equipment and applications. It controls the distribution network and helps increase the reliability and quality of power supply.
