Enclosures, substations, high masts, and other electricity buildings are infrastructure with a significant role in revenue enhancement and infrastructure asset protection. Expensive equipment inside these infrastructures is often vandalised, stolen, and tampered with, causing damages and losses. Vandalism, theft, illegal connections, tampering, and bypassing of consumption kWh meters contribute to an exceptionally large portion of revenue loss. Apart from non-technical losses causing revenue havoc, lives are in danger when enclosures, substations, and other electrical equipment are dangerously exposed, vandalised, and tampered with. By intelligently protecting, controlling, and monitoring enclosures, substations, buildings, high masts against harsh environmental elements, and implement superior physical security and protection against intrusion, vandalism, tampering, and theft would result in lowering energy usage, operational, and capital cost outflows which are a direct improvement in the balance sheet of the Municipality. These savings (energy, operational & capital) would become available for other applications in the Municipality that will directly stimulate growth and development. Energy cost savings are achieved when undetected, and un-metered electricity connections are eliminated, and when kWh energy consumption smart meters are adequately protected against tampering and vandalism, to serve their true purpose, to measure power consumption, and to bill customers what they owe the Municipality, and collect relevant analytical data. Energy savings can be as much as 30-60% when intelligent infrastructure management is implemented. Municipalities achieve Operational and Capital cost savings when unnecessary replacement and repairs of equipment, including nuisance standby call- outs, inspections, unplanned prolonged electricity blackouts caused by theft, tampering, vandalism, are eliminated, saving and protecting innocent lives. Enclosures, substation/building/ high mast technical and security control, and monitoring infrastructure are public fixtures that incorporate technology, such as IoT sensors, IoT controllers to introduce real-time monitoring and control functionalities. Electrical enclosures, and especially smart enclosures are housing expensive electrical and electronic equipment. Their purposes are to enhance security and safety, protect equipment from unauthorized handling, tampering, vandalism, theft, and the environment, and protect people against equipment from an electric shock and possible explosions). Further to this, miniature substations are there to step down high electricity voltage from primary and secondary substations to lower electricity voltage supplied to homes and businesses in the area through distribution and metering enclosures using lines and cables. Intelligent smart enclosures , substation/building/high mast technical and security control, and monitoring infrastructure can transform the way Municipalities & Utilities manage cities while delivering enormous savings. Tampering, theft, and vandalism can account for nearly 30-50 percent of many cities’ total non-technical losses. Switching from traditional electrical enclosures, substation/building/high mast technical and security control, and monitoring infrastructure to smart infrastructure can help achieve that goal by delivering immediate savings through reduced energy use, eliminating equipment tampering, theft, and vandalism, and saving the lives of innocent people. Installing smart enclosures, substation/building/high mast technical and security control, and monitoring infrastructure can drastically reduce customer complaints as the utility are aware of issues with infrastructure before the public reports it, saving downtime, increasing service delivery, increase revenue by reducing illegal connections, reducing unnecessarily equipment replacements such as meters, circuit breakers, copper bus-bars, wires, etc. An Intelligent Infrastructure Management System (IIMS) related to smart enclosure, substation/building/high mast technical and security infrastructure, is a 24/7 auto intelligent network-based control, monitoring, managing, reporting, and recording solution that incorporates communication between various system inputs and outputs related to infrastructure control, monitoring, and reporting the status and performance with the use of one or more central computing devices. All the important and relevant activities related to the infrastructure are real-time monitored, controlled, reported, and recorded by an analytical customizable client-branded software for optimizing situation planning, response, and debriefing. It acts as an overlay for all security, safety, operations, and management information system features, unifying an operational easy to use command and control GUI (Graphical User Interface) for Control Centre and Field operators. It supports extensive customization capabilities to adapt and change, satisfying operational objectives and constraints. The intelligent infrastructure management system brings energy and cost savings and can shorten the payback period of projects. An infrastructure management system can significantly improve the quality of electricity services, improve public safety, enhance security, and provide a foundation for additional Smart City improvements and Citizen Benefits.
