There is something worth millions/billions (I am not sure) that KPLC has been rolling out countrywide, and from what I heard on TV, I should think it has something to do with this that @Aki has initiated discussions over. Can someone please first find out what it is before a wheel is reinvented ... unless this @Aki Initiative is specifically meant for the public, not in house KPLC consumption.

@Rad, @Agosta, thnks much. I promise to make good on my word about meeting up with yourselves and celebrating some success of any projects. For the time being and until we have achieved our goals on the design, let it be as it is now. I toast to you *online* that, despite a very hectic schedule this year, I'm very commited to getting projects off the ground. :-))
@Bernard, many thanks for those links. I'll go through them to see where I left out. Actually most of my thoughts on the online monitoring of grid is based on a self understanding that we must do it and create our own standards and goals. Within these, all the parameters are automatic e.g. from how deep we can go. Lets assume that at some point KPLC allow us to design an active monitoring system linked to transformers, low and high voltage lines, we can create a complete grid monitoring system that will be very uselful to KPLC from Mulika Mwizi to maintenance alerts. This data will be real time but closed due to security reasons. It is very possible, even hardware devices that monitor these. From an electronics point of view, this is not too difficult as we can build on power sensing chips and the info relayed via 3g or GSM. For example, how can we create a standard for smart monitoring so that not only is it online but KPLC is also able to get involved and cross match its own data so that the results are verified. Some thots, and thanks again for sharing the links. :-)
Rgds.
