ABB India to collaborate with IIT Madras to develop power management system

ABB India will collaborate with IIT Madras to develop a power management system to optimize the operation of multiple micro grids, with and without grid connection, while managing electricity supply to villages. This system will also enable the integration of individual solar PV rooftops to a village microgrid.  Such interconnection and interleaving of microgrids with the existing distribution system and infrastructure will provide economic benefits for the people, in terms of reduced outages and lower cost of power. The project scope includes microgrids of 20 to 100 kW capacity equipped with battery storage.
