Is Microgrid An Answer To Rural India's Power Woes?

Microgrid can be defined as a small network of electricity users with a local source of supply that is usually attached to a centralised national grid, but is able to function independently. From India’s context, rural microgrid is a small electricity network implemented at a village level with its own generation unit and the electricity generated thus supplied primarily to the village households and in some cases, to some commercial load centres. These microgrids are often not connected to the national grid and have been set up in the villages where there is no grid connection or even if there is a grid, power supply is highly erratic.

LED Expo Gears Up For 2017 With Smart Solutions In Lighting Technology

In 2009, India began a plan of replacing four mil-lion inefficient incandescent bulbs with CFLs by 2012. By 2013 several Indian states announced plans of replacing some 200,000 fluorescent tubelights with LEDs. They (LEDs) remain a minority in the Indian market with only three to five per cent market share as existing CFL users are less willing to convert to LED lighting. The bi-annual LED Expo 2016 has created an ideal arena for LED and lighting sector since years. Companies from India and abroad come together with cost-effective and competitive LED solutions for the Indian market at this global platform hosted by Messe Frankfurt Trade Fairs, a global leader of industry’s highly respected Light + Building fairs. This year, the LED Expo 2017 was held at Bombay Exhibition centre, Goregaon from 11th - 13th May.
