India still needs to add about 218 Giga Watt power to satisfy electricity demand for year 2016-17 and 298 GW for year 2021-22. As renewable energy is becoming more accessible, electric power is decentralising. So, the solution to overcome the challenge lies in Micro-Grid (Gram Power) development... - Prof. Harpreet Singh, Prof. Rahul Shankar Bhagat

As climate change continues to affect our planet, the frequency, and intensity of natural disasters, such as wildfires, have increased dramatically. One of the...

"We are undertaking massive revamps of transmission lines across various states and transforming power delivery networks," shares Manish Agarwal, CEO - Solutions Business, Sterlite Power.

Electrical power is transmitted through the transmission systems from the central generating stations to the end users using a series of distribution transformers and lines. From around 1990, there has been a growing interest in connecting generations directly to the distribution system, known as Distributed Generation (DG) or Distributed Energy Resources (DER). In some countries, a strict definition of distributed generation is made, based either on the rating of the plant or on the voltage level to which it is connected to the grid. However, these definitions usually follow technical documents. - P Pavani and Dr S N Singh

Delta networks were historically selected for their resilience against the first single-phase fault condition, but the traditional inability to detect these faults posed a...

This paper presents an overview of industry trends and practices in the deployment of technologies needed to support the implementation of smart asset analytics in electricity distribution systems. The paper discusses the strategic opportunities and benefits in pursuing specific applications of smart asset analytics e.g., failure prediction, asset optimization and power distribution efficiency improvements, and the role of modern innovative practices in achieving them...
