BHUBANESWAR, Oct. 27 -- A team of researchers at the National Institute of Technology (NIT)-Rourkela has developed an intelligent control system that can automatically manage the electricity flow from solar, wind, and battery sources.

The innovative "hybrid microgrid" can deliver a clean and continuous power supply to areas in the countryside that have no access to the main electric power grid.

The primary aim of this research is to reduce the potential use of fossil fuel reserves and provide power to remote regions that are not covered by the main electricity grid.

The findings of this research have been published in the prestigious journal IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications in a paper co-authored by Prof Arnab Ghosh, in collabo...
