It proposes the off grid decentralized solar power system. An Existing setup of electricity generation is centralized. It generates electricity centrally at one place (e.g. Thermal power plant) and it is transmitted and distributed everywhere. More over coal is the raw material for such thermal power plants and to save nature we have to put efforts to minimize the use of coal and initiate sustainable ways to generate power which reduces the CO2 emission. One approach is to generate power at a place where we need it. If we are able to generate power in decentralized way, our dependency on grid power can be reduced. As we know that solar panel generates DC Voltage and we can develop 12V DC system or 24V DC system, which does not require conversion from DC to AC. So, use of inverter can be avoided. This is possible as DC bulb, DC LED tube lights, DC fans, BLDC ceiling fans are available. Focus areas of this project: Replicable, Low cost, Easy to install & maintain, Repairable, Easily available components, portable and compact.

Abstract: India's power area is experiencing a sturdy boom in demand, manufacturing, and energy transmission. India is operating on several progressive policies and programs within the energy sector for holistic transformation. A factsdriven smart utility released by India will soon open up new commercial enterprise possibilities. Rapid populace growth and urbanization have a prime effect on energy consumption and power generation. Moreover, energy control is the largest task and an essential part of all kinds of regions. The Smart Grid performs a crucial role in this due to its benefits like contributing to the discount of T&D losses, Peak Load Management (PLM), progressing Quality of Service (QoS), improved reliability, better asset control, renewable integration, and better accessibility to electricity. National Smart Grid Mission (NSGM) was launched by the Ministry of Power (MoP) to deal with key problems of Smart Grid tasks on a large scale in the country and to make the Indian power infrastructure cost-effective. This paper first briefly describes the overview and making plans of the Indian energy sector followed by the development of pilot projects of Smart Grids in India and proposed several working opportunities in India towards Smart Grid. Challenges and barriers related to smart grid is also proposed in this paper. Wed, 01 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT http://10.9.150.37:8080/dspace//handle/atmiyauni/1758 2024-05-01T00:00:00Z
