INDIA PROPELS RENEWABLE ENERGY TO UNPRECEDENTED HEIGHTS

Decentralised grid systems enable homes, businesses, and communities to generate, store, and manage energy locally. This reduces reliance on central networks, minimises transmission losses, and enhances energy security and efficiency.

The renewable energy sector is critical to the fight against climate change and the global effort to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. As governments worldwide increasingly set ambitious targets for cleaner and more sustainable energy, integrating renewable sources such as solar and wind into existing energy grids remains one of the most significant challenges. These energy sources' variable and intermittent nature create instability in energy grids, making seamless integration difficult. This instability accentuates the need for advancements in energy storage solutions, as the ability to store energy when production is high and distribute it when supply is low is vital to ensuring grid stability. The industry experts share their views on the evolving renewable sector. Let us go through the story to know the details of the renewable energy landscape.

Decentralised grid systems

The concept of decentralised grid systems is gaining increasing attention as a solution to some of the challenges associated with renewable energy integration. Decentralised systems allow consumers such as homes, businesses and communities to generate, store and manage their energy locally. This reduces reliance on centralised power generation and distribution networks, minimising transmission losses and increasing energy security.

Ganesh Moorthi, Chief Technology Officer at Luminous Power Technologies, strongly advocates for the growth of decentralised grids.

"Decentralised grids are essential for creating resilient and sustainable energy ecosystems," Moorthi says. By enabling local energy production and storage, we can reduce transmission losses and ensure that communities, especially in remote or underserved areas, have reliable access to power."
