ABB India and IIT Madras will collaborate to develop a power management system to optimise the operation of multiple micro-grids, with and without grid connection, while managing electricity supply to villages. This system will also enable the integration of individual solar PV rooftops to a village micro-grid.
The Government of India is looking at a generation capacity of 40 GW in the next five years through grid-connected (GC) rooftop solar PV and small-scale solar PV plants. Such clusters have the capability of generating and using renewable energy locally from one kilowatt to a few hundred kilowatts. It is imperative to network such locally distributed nano- or micro-grids for optimal usage of renewable power across users, keeping in mind the dynamic demand/supply situation.
