Smart microgrids
We are turning our campus into a living lab for a smart microgrid, with rooftop solar, storage and controllable loads run by digital intelligence and aligned with the India Energy Stack.
India's grid is moving from a few large power plants to millions of small, distributed resources: rooftop solar, batteries, electric vehicles and buildings that can shift their demand. Running such a grid well needs data, automation and open, interoperable systems.
What we are building
- A campus microgrid testbed that combines solar PV, energy storage, thermal storage and controllable loads, reducing dependence on the utility grid and diesel generators.
- Digital intelligence for demand-side flexibility and peer-to-peer energy, in line with the Ministry of Power's India Energy Stack.
- Analytics for grid assets, such as AI-based health monitoring for distribution transformers.
- Skills for energy managers in data analytics, AI, machine learning and IoT, so smart energy management can be deployed at scale.
