The project involves the creation of a smart energy management system and microgrid with battery energy storage and will also establish an Integrated Monitoring, Analytics and Control Center for systems ranging from energy assets to transport, water, and waste on the IIT Roorkee campus. Additionally, the collaboration will develop opportunities for technology competency enhancement.
India’s energy use has doubled since 2000 and the country is expected to overtake the European Union as the world’s third-largest energy consumer by 2030, according to a report by the International Energy Agency1. This will necessitate efficient, reliable, and inclusive energy infrastructure that does not come at the cost of the planet or the most vulnerable sections of society.
“Sustainability is at the heart of Hitachi ABB Power Grids’ growth strategy. Hence, our agreement with IIT Roorkee advances our mission to harness technology to power good,” said Venu Nuguri, Managing Director and CEO, Hitachi ABB Power Grids in India.
