Introduction Solar off-Grid power Plant is the best and viable electricity source where the conventional grid based electricity has not been able to reach in remote rural areas and small settlements. The State Electricity Boards (SEBs) often consider such locations financially not viable due to the high cost of laying transmission lines coupled with low power demand resulting in low ...
AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure), which is an important part of the smart grid. AMI system is mainly composed of AMI electricity meter, communication network, metering data management system (MDMS), home area network(HAN), is a two-way communication system between AMI power meter and power operator, providing real-time energy consumption data for power companies, and providing correct ...
Alexander Graham Bell (the telephone) and Thomas Edison (electricity) were two of the greatest groundbreaking pioneers in history. Imagine if the two were alive today to witness the evolution of their thinking. While the chances are pretty good that Bell would have no idea what a smartphone was, Edison’s electrical transmission lines are, conversely, still a mainstay today. Acknowledging ...

The ambitious target has brought along with it the need to review the existing energy policies in order to satisfy all the stakeholders like prosumers, DISCOMs, energy regulators and the Government itself. The grid tie system will be more viable than off-grid (stand-alone or battery) systems, based on ROI ...
Introduction The PV system installation are done in centralized and decentralized structure considering the required capacity. Mostly, centralized structures are done in MW/GW scale with a single massive DC and AC built in super inverters. While in a decentralized structure, the inverter DC and AC built capacity is less. However, combining more than a single inverter we could still possibly ...
Depending on what part of the world you live in, you are continuously exposed to terms like Grid Edge and Smart Grid. But the narrative is not the same everywhere – some regions speak of supply and demand real time optimization, and others are concerned with reliability and generating useful energy data. Are we all living different electrical grid realities? Possibly. Let’s discuss ...
Decarbonizing power generation is pivotal in the fight against climate change. Accounting for circa 30% of global energy related CO2 emissions, the sector is responsible for more emissions than any other industry. Decarbonizing how we generate energy is a mammoth task. Fortunately, we have the technology today to ensure that, with selective policy intervention, power generation becomes the first ...
Electric vehicles (EVs) are already transforming and decarbonizing the mobility industry. This trend will only accelerate in the coming decades. A major roadblock that needs to be tackled to ensure that this shift substantially benefits society, however, is the question of EV charging. A lack of ubiquitous charging infrastructure risks impeding the pace and success at which we transition to EVs. ...

A commercial building in California has constant high power requirements. The grid purchasing costs for them consists of energy charges and demand charges, and demand becomes a large part of their bill when they use a lot of power over a short period of time. Since California has high solar insolation throughout the year, a grid tied renewable system integration would certainly help ...
