Abstract
Reliable electric power supply is still remained a major problem in rural India. Off grid renewable sources of energy have been applied in the last few years to increase reliability but not succeeding to be realistic because of too high energy costs compared to the national grid. Grid Integrated Minigrids with Storage (Grid Integrated Mini Grids) have potential to provide reliable power supply at reasonably priced by combining Mini-Grids and National Grid services. This research paper analyzed different aspects of the GRID INTEGRATED MINI GRIDS practicability. The feasibility of the use of hybrid - solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems and wind in Grid Integrated Minigrids
Highlights
Today, the population who do not have access to electricity in world, one fifth of such population fail to access to reliable power reside in India, primarily in rural areas [1]
Combination of power supply from the National grid and a mini-grid (Local) system reduce the outlay of reliable power compared to off-grid mini grids so client or end user need to pay for power from the mini-grid system only at time when power cut in the main grid, can say that enjoy both power reliability and the economic freedom of the national grid when available
The influence of using wind and solar - hybrid PV systems as GIMS generation technology and hybrid PV/Wind with main grid association Simlet area located in Gujarat, India
Summary
The population who do not have access to electricity in world, one fifth of such population fail to access to reliable power reside in India, primarily in rural areas [1]. Diverse renewable energy sources based power system such as stand-alone solar systems and Mini Grids have been implemented in remote rural and urban areas to achieve un interrupted and good quality of electric power supply. Grid Integrated Mini Grids with Storage(GIMS) is Renewable Energy mini-grid systems, are connected to a national power grid in a way to provide viable and consistent electricity to a rural or remote area.
