Leveraging Decentralized Solar-DC Towards Enable 24 x 7 Power to Indian Homes

Published: 14 July 2015 Publication History

Abstract

Demand-supply gap in power has resulted in 2 to 20 hours power-cuts in most Indian homes especially in summer months, in addition to almost 80 million homes having no grid-connectivity. Using DC appliances as demand-side intervention and decentralized solar as a supply side intervention, the gap can be considerably reduced. Using an innovative UDC technology, the existing grid, with minimal change, could supply 24 x 7 but limited power to each home and at the same time create a demand pull for solar-DC. The paper presents steps to achieve this in near-term.
