The October–December, 2016, issue of Energy Future considers various perspectives on the concept of Smart Grids and the need to develop them for ensuring energy security in future. The Cover Story ‘Smart Grid: The Future of Electricity’ focusses on energy production and distribution aspects for reliability and sustainability. The feature article 'Microgrids: A prespective on Technology to Bring Utility Electricity Delivery Systems' looks at the importance of Microgrids within the smart grid setup as well as independently. While suggesting cost-effective solution to obsolete grids, microgrids offer sustainability through use of renewable as well as exploring developments in energy storage. While there is stress on use of renewable, traditional energy sources will remain relevant for still a few years. The traditional Oil and Gas sector too are exploring use of renewables, as shown in 'Petroleum Sector Going the Natural Energy Resources Way'. The article under the Solar Quarterly section, 'India’s Place in the Sun', highlights India’s role in launching the International Solar Alliance. It is India’s chance to lead the world in the clean energy field.

Microgrids - A Perspective On Technology To Bring Utility Electricity Delivery Systems

The few thousand people living in Dharanai—a small village in Bihar, India—still remember the night when the electric bulbs flickered and lit the village homes for the first time. A 100 kW solar-powered microgrid brought electric power to 450 homes, 60 street lights, and a few busi- nesses in the village. In another part of the world, a row of solar panels and a wind turbine attached to a hybrid microgrid (an inverter and a storage battery that is normally found in an electric car) enabled Olos- ho-Oibo—a small Kenyan hamlet—to experience the power of electricity. The small hybrid grid supplied enough electric power to run a dispensary serving 8000 plus people in and around the village, a school, and a church. Jyothi Mahalingam shows how the dependable microgrids are slowly changing the lives of the rural people globally.

India's Place In The Sun - The International Solar Alliance

The COP21 held in Paris, in December 2015, adopted the first-ever universal, legally-binding global climate deal with 195 countries ratifying it. The agreement sets out a global action plan to put the world on track to combat climate change by limiting global warming. During the global summit, the International Solar Alliance was launched, jointly by India and France, with more than 120 countries to boost solar power in developing nations. It was then formally inaugurated in India by the French President, His Excellency Francois Hollande together with India’s Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi in January 2016 at Gurugram, Haryana. Om Prakash Nangia, through this article, presents an overview of the ISA and its India connection.
