AmritaWNA has initiated the Amrita Wireless Smart Grid project envisioning a country with reliable and efficient energy system with electricity access for everyone. Smart grid consists of electrical providers, systems of power delivery and smart buildings (customers). To solve the present power crisis, using renewable energies such as solar, and biogas each building is integrated with main grid and the renewable energy generator. If the output power of the hybrid system is more, we can inject this power into the main grid. Thus the Demand Response maintained.
The smart home infrastructure features the network in which intelligent devices are connected to each load which can communicate with each other and these intelligent devices can communicate with Smart meters thus providing automatic control of various household appliances with this advanced metering infrastructure, which enables the connection of individual smart home systems to a smart grid. The project aims to address the short comings of current energy system:
