The metaverse for the power sector: KSEB Engineers’ Association

The event

The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) Engineers’ Association held a session on the potential of the metaverse for the power sector in Kozhikode, Kerala. Rrahul spoke at the invitation of the India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF).

The audience included Padma Vibhushan awardee Dr E Sreedharan, known as the Metro Man of India, and senior government board leaders. Rrahul also met Laiju I P Nair, Nimal Madhu M and Reji Kumar Pillai.

The talk

Rrahul explained how immersive technology supports the power and energy sector, with a focus on assisted reality and digital twins.

Assisted reality lets field workers get real-time guidance from experts who may be far away. This matters most when help is needed immediately, and it lowers the risk of errors or accidents.

Digital twins enable predictive maintenance at power plants, which could save utility providers an estimated $1.7 billion a year. Planned maintenance also reduces the risk of accidents caused by faulty equipment.

Tata Power has already put assisted reality in place, and Siemens Energy has done the same with digital twin technology. Plutomen's solutions bring these benefits together: standard processes with fewer errors, better information flow between departments, and documented Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) for smooth commissioning, leading to higher customer satisfaction.

Key points

Where these solutions help the power and energy sector:

No more paperwork
Digital records with proof
Lower error rates
Faster time to resolution (TTR)
Less unplanned downtime
Wider coverage from experts
Upskilling of semi-skilled workers
