This process involves indexing of all the consumers in all categories so that the consumers can be segregated feeder-wise and DT-wise is necessary. The consumers are mapped using GIS technology and identified based on their unique electrical address, called Consumer Index Number (CIN). The purpose of GIS Mapping and Indexing of the consumers is to identify and locate all the consumers on geographical map, which are being fed from the Distribution Mains.
The Consumer Index Number (CIN) which is provided to all types of consumers and the consumer/ network database helps in correlating each consumer to the corresponding electrical attributes, using GIS tools to query and retrieve information. The usual methodology adopted for the exercise
is mentioned below:
- A detailed door-to-door consumer survey is carried out for the creation of consumer database linked to DT (for LT customers) and linked to feeder for HT consumers
- All consumers are allotted a unique Consumer Identification Number (CIN) based on the electrical address of consumers
- The information of the consumer’s network connectivity is then maintained in the database
- The consumer database is linked to the network database for the purpose of defining the consumer's electrical connectivity
