The smart village addresses

‘hard’ interventions such as

agricultural improvement,

energy sufficiency, rural

industry and locally relevant

livelihood, water and waste

management, and improved

digital connectivity, as well as

‘soft’ interventions, such as

good governance, better

pub l ic hea l th ser v ices ,

sanitation, civic services,

e d u c a t i o n a n d s k i l l

development, along with climate change adaptation. A smart village must also move

the villagers up the value chain to improve socio-economic status of the inhabitants.

The village agricultural economy, in turn, revolves around the nexus of food, water, and

energy. Access to energy plays a key role in socioeconomic development of a village

or a nation. However, according to IEA’s report on World Energy Outlook 2011, 1.4

billion people in the world do not have access to electricity, with 400 million residing in

India. The 2011 census data also show that 40% of the ‘electrified’ villages in India

have less than 60% availability of electricity. Energy deficit and inadequate

infrastructure are the root cause of this gap. The Smart Village Nanogrid™

implemented at Chhotkei village in Angul district in the state of Odisha, the first such

smart microgrid implementation in India is a model that can be replicated in thousands

of small villages.

The Smart Village Nanogrid™ consists of a hybrid power generation unit from locally

available renewable sources (solar, wind, biomass, biogas, pico-hydro, etc.) or grid

power, a distribution grid to make power available to homes, streets, and most

importantly, to farms and micro-enterprises, and a complete automation system for

managing the microgrid operations remotely. This brings energy-sufficiency to the

village, and eliminates grid-dependency. Smart Microgrid concept is applicable in both electrified and un-electrified villages. The key

technical intervention is the IoT/IT-enabled Smart Nanogrid™ which ensures reliable and predictable power supply through demand and

supply management and citizen-centric power services. Citizens not only get quality, reliable power but can also schedule their power

requirement accordingly to their convenience, view their electricity consumption and bill in real time, pay their bills and register their

complain through a Mobile App that is language-independent.

Chhotkei is a small remote village inside the hilly and scenic

terrain of Satkosia Tiger Reserve about 65km from its

district town, Angul, and 160km from the state capital,

Bhubaneswar. Approximately 600 people, in 140

households spread over 235 hectors of land lived in

darkness. Lack of electricity also precluded them from the

privilege of voice communication - the village has no mobile

tower access. So is the state of healthcare facilities.

Even though Chhotkei is

situated amidst rich natural

resources, the place is

deprived of the basic

amenities of livelihood.

Their primary livelihood is

rain-fed paddy cultivation,

once a year; and there is

no other activity relevant to

t h e i r l o c a l ava i l a b l e

r e s o u r c e s . L a c k o f

electricity supply makes it very difficult to set up microenterprises or have an irrigation system to cultivate during off season.

SunMoksha, a Bangalore based start-up implemented the Smart Village Nanogrid – the first such implementation in India. The village has

been supplied with a 30kW Solar-power to meet the energy demands of 140 households, 20 streetlights, a temple, and three community

centres. These facilities have a combined load of about 20kW. The rest 10kW has been set aside for day-time use by irrigation pumps and

microenterprises such as poultry, stitching, rice-puff machines, provision stores, refrigerators, oil mill, welding machines, etc. to improve

agricultural output, enable value-addition to agriculture, and generate employment.

Power supplied to the Distribution Boxes, spread throughout the village, over underground electrical cables to minimize losses. The

Distribution Boxes are connected to consumers through overhead wires with smart metering and control system of the Smart

NanogridTM. Underground fiber optic cables communicate to these meters and controllers from the local server.

TM TMThe Smart Nanogrid is managed by a software tool (NanoSoft Remote ), hosted on a local server that provides metering, billing and

payment (prepaid/post-paid), and alerts services and cut-off supply if unpaid. Moreover, it provides differential tariff for business,

irrigation, and households. Server schedules demands of microenterprises, irrigation pumps, street lights, etc. The microenterprise load

is scheduled to match the solar generation profile. The system switches off power supply, if a consumer exceeds maximum energy or

power allocated. The irrigation time and amount is designed to be controlled by measuring the moisture of the soil. The system efficiently

manage demand with available supply and storage capacity.

In addition to electricity, the system monitors and controls other resources such as water, waste, agriculture and environmental

parameters. The system also manages customer relation, technical support, training, local value-add services to customers, and e-

Governance.

Server also manages all customer information, technical support, continuous training, and local value add services to customers. The data

on local server is synchronized with remote server on the cloud through a VSAT internet connection. The cloud data is available to all

remote stakeholders such as sponsors, government agencies, implementers, O&M providers, and remote experts for monitoring and

timely interventions, if needed. Real-time monitoring data can be viewed at www.smartnanogrid.net.

Local customers can also get their usage information, payment status, as well as register complaints through a simple Mobile App and

Energy Card with QR Code. In addition, a village micro enterprise zone (MEZ) has been created to develop micro-industries for livelihood.

A community health and tele-medicine centre is being set-up to provide basic health amenities. Similarly, tele-education and village-

information-kiosk facilities are planned to be set-up. Reliable power and digital connectivity also enables tele-education, tele-medicine and

tele-panchayat facilities for the villagers, thereby, achieving the goals of digitally connected smart villages.

SunMoksha has successfully addressed key issues in smart microgrid implementation - monitoring and management of the grid system.

This gird is managed and maintained by highly motivated local youth who have got training for project implementation, and O&M of the

system post commissioning.

The Odisha Government’s

R e n e w a b l e E n e r g y

Development Agency, OREDA,

facilitated the interaction and

support of the villagers in

implementing and running this

project.

They also interfaced with local

authorities for necessary

permissions and support.

Recently, Ministry of New and

Renewable Energy (MNRE)

conducted a workshop along with UK-DFID, to showcase this first smart village nanogrid project to national and international

stakeholders with interest in such rural development. MNRE Secretary Shri Upendra Tripathy and Jt. Secretary Shri Tarun Kapur presided

over the workshop and assured all support to adopt this model across states.

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has taken move to assess energy storage’s potential role in wholesale markets and in

maintaining a low-cost, reliable network. FERC requested that Independent System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission

Operators (RTOs) offer their views on whether barriers to electricity storage’s participation in capacity, energy and ancillary services

markets create “unfair and unreasonable” wholesale rates.

Renewables advocates Fresh Energy, Environmental Law & Policy Center, and the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC), filed a

proposal with the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission asking for a streamlining of the state’s interconnection standard. The

proposed standard, based on a 2014 Federal Energy Regulatory Commission model, would allow 40 kW and smaller distributed

generation systems to be interconnected through a fast-track process that would simplify the fee structure and cut application handling

from months to weeks, if not days. The current interconnection standards require similar processing for 5 kW projects as they do for 5

MW projects, Midwest Energy News reports. The new proposal would create a special tier for systems 40 kW and smaller, remove

barriers specific to the larger systems, and streamline processing of applications for smaller installations.

Smart Grid Updates: Policy, Regulations & Standards

Germany launched electric vehicle subsidy scheme

Rocky Mountain Institute set tone for rate research

The German government has announced that it will subsidise electric vehicle purchases in a bid to boost growth in the country's EV

market. Electric car buyers will receive a €4,000 when they choose a purely electric vehicle, while buyers in the plug-in electric vehicle

market will receive a €3,000 subsidy. Having more electric vehicles on the road will also help the country reach its national climate goals

“with zero-emission mobility”. Germany aims to have one million electric cars on the road by 2020. Currently there are 50,000 EVs on

German roads in a pool of 45 million cars in the country.

New proposals are appearing for how to improve rates to meet emerging challenges and opportunities around environmental impact,

customer engagement, bill management, reliability and cost recovery. Customer load profiles are becoming more diverse while new

technology is increasing potential customer capabilities. Existing default rates in the US are simple – typically pairing a flat, volumetric

energy rate with a customer charge. Two types of alternative mass-market rate designs are often proposed to meet rapidly evolving

customer needs in the near-term. Time-based rates can provide more accurate price signals to customers, better reflecting the marginal

cost of supplying and delivering electricity. These price signals may lead customers to change their consumption patterns to reduce both

peak and total consumption. Demand-charge rates can provide a price signal to reduce peak demand and can potentially allocate peak-

driven costs more fairly. Customers may respond by changing their consumption patterns to reduce peak demand, flattening their load

profile. Read More: http://www.smartgridtoday.com/public/Rocky-Mountain-Institute-sets-tone-for-rate-research.cfm

ISGF and European Commission (DG ENER) & the European Union Delegation in Delhi are jointly organising a series of Smart Grid Workshops in India and Europe. The first of the series was held in Nice, France in June 2015 and second was held in Vienna in Nov 2015. Leading technology companies and utilities from Europe and select group of policy makers and industry members from India participated in the workshops.

The Third EU-India Smart Grid Workshop will be held during 01 – 03 September 2016 in Bornholm Island, Denmark. Bornholm Island is experimenting with integration of wind energy and electric vehicles to be completely independent from the Danish grid; and well on its way to be the first in the world that will meet 100% electricity from renewable energy sources. The focus of the workshop will be on upscaling and deployment of smart grid demonstrations in India and the lessons learned from large renewable energy and smart grid deployment projects in the EU nations. Several key decision makers from utilities, ministries and regulatory commissions from India will be participating in this workshop.

To join the India delegation, please write to Alakh: [email protected].

*This Workshop earlier scheduled from 06-08 July 2016 has been rescheduled to 01-03 September 2016.
