Setting up Rural, Semi-Urban & Urban Microgrid pilots in India under a joint Indo-US project
Microgrids integrating RES and ESS are increasingly being deployed across the world. Isolated and grid connected microgrids require control and protection systems to ensure optimal power sharing, storage management, maintaining required power quality, stability, resiliency and reliability of supply. The main focus of an ongoing Indo-US joint project ‘UI-ASSIST’, involving 15 consortia partners from US and India, is to develop models including pilot demonstrations for future smart distribution networks integrating RES, ESS and microgrids. This talk will briefly discuss the technical details and challenges faced in setting up these pilots.
