The Approach
The Rationale
The Vision
The Benefits
To create platform systems where multiple distributed
energy technologies combine to help optimise energy
acquisition, energy conversion, energy storage & energy
delivery in a reliable, efficient & affordable manner.
Convert the energy from the energy source into desired
form (like electricity) in as close proximity as possible to
the demand.
Makes most sense to harness resources (especially
renewable) in a distributed energy infrastructure rather
than a centralised infrastructure.
Distributed Energy Infrastructure

The Approach
The Rationale
The Vision
The Benefits
Leverage the benefits of distributed energy• Local energy sourcing (avoid grid losses)• On-demand supply• High system efficiency (with heat recovery)• Reliability with 24x7 energy availability
Good temporal match between energy demand and energy supply
Leverage developments in technology & automation to optimize energy delivery
Under complete control of the consumer
Favourable economics of energy delivery

Problems with this system?
One way system – Non matching of supply &demand leads to wastage of resources
Vulnerable to weather & natural calamities
Very low total system efficiency (~ 25% max.)
Vulnerable to fuel supply shocks
Vulnerable to fuel price inflation
Adverse impact on environment

Envisioned future electricity delivery system
Benefits of new system?
Flexibility to adapt efficiently to demand changes
Intelligent system which closely matches supply todemand drastically reducing resource wastages
Local availability leads to more energy security
Higher reliability for energy on-demand
High total system efficiency (can go upto 90%)
HT Transmission grid vulnerabilities eliminated
Shifts control to the consumer -> happy consumer
Envisioned future electricity delivery system
Why was this not done earlier?
Appropriate energy technologies were not available
Lack of ground experience (still accumulating)
Lack of availability of required information &communication technologies
Cost of conventional power was too low withnegligible increase in costs with time.
