IIT Roorkee Joins Indo-US Consortium To Modernize Power Grids
IIT-Roorkee today said it has become a part of an Indo-US consortium working on a project for smart energy distribution system, Smart Grids. The $75 million 5-year project, named US-India Collaboration for Smart Distribution System with Storage (UI-ASSIST), is part of the Indo-US Joint Clean Energy Research and Development Center (JCERDC).
IIT-Roorkee today said it has become a part of an Indo-US consortium working on a project for smart energy distribution system, Smart Grids. The $75 million 5-year project, named US-India Collaboration for Smart Distribution System with Storage (UI-ASSIST), is part of the Indo-US Joint Clean Energy Research and Development Center (JCERDC).
It will work towards addressing issues related to the adoption and deployment of smart grids including storage in the distribution network, IIT Roorkee said in a statement.
One of the most important aspects of this project is to bridge the gap between smart grid, storage and renewable energy research in order to facilitate its subsequent adoption, it said.
Under this mega project, IIT Roorkee has been awarded a grant of over Rs. 4.17 crore.
The group will conduct research and deploy new smart grid and energy storage technologies which will help in modernizing grids, make them smarter and increase their resilience and reliability.
The consortium will be divided into 2 teams, the Indian Core team and the US Core team. The Indian Core team will comprise of IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Bhubaneshwar and the Energy Resource Institute, New Delhi.
The US Core team will comprise of Washington State University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Texas A&M University.
IIT Roorkee will investigate the operation of microgrids embedded distribution system under grid unbalance, irregular switching of diverse microgrids and extreme grid conditions.
