3. Introduction
• Microgrids can help campuses reduce peak demand
charges, which for some institutions can save 30%–70% of
total monthly electric charges.
• Microgrids can keep electricity flowing to colleges and
universities by islanding from the central grid during power
outages.

4. Objectives
• The key objectives of sustainability in electric power
generation system are:
– Reliability
– Environmental concerns
– Economic operation.
The Microgrid can supply the electricity smoothly to meet the
customer demand and ensure the reliability and proper operation of
electric power system.

5. Energy Management System
• In order to prevent blackouts and power disruption and to
ensure reliability and efficiency the grid needs to get updated by
making it modern and smart.
• Smart grids appeared as a solution for several problems in the
current electrical system
• Utility companies can manage and monitor energy use in every
home in real time and it will also give consumers more energy
control.

6. Case Study
Time Cost
Peak (7 am - 8 pm) 0.097 cent per kWh
Off-Peak (8 pm - 7 am) 0.066 cent per kWh
Load Forecasting. Power Forecasting.

7. IIT Kanpur set to get Smart Grid
• IITK plans to install and operate three solar + storage microgrid pilots
on its campus in northern India.
• The university will monitor and operate the microgrids from a control
center on the IIT Kanpur campus.
• Synergy Systems and Solutions has supplied the facility with a SCADA
system, backed by advanced metering infrastructure provided by
Mindteck , an IT services provider based in Bangalore.

8. IIT Roorkee set to get Smart campus
• An ABB microgrid is set to be installed at IIT Roorkee, the oldest
technical Institution of Asia, as part of joint smart campus
development.
• It aims to create an operational smart grid network integrating all
sources of energy including diesel generation and renewable energy.
• The goal is to become a self-sustaining and zero emission green
campus.

9. IIT Delhi and IISc Bangalore
• (IIT) Delhi, and Tata powers
have signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) to
collaborate in areas like Smart
grid Technology and Clean
Energy solutions.
• IISc Bangalore has installed a 5.2
kW solar system linked to 150 Ah
of lead-acid battery storage in a
project supported by the Sunrise
program led by Swansea
University, in Wales.

10. Why Academic buildings
• Innovation
• Infrastructure
• Public Awareness
• Less Complexity
• More Research and Development

11. Background
• Control technologies.
• Design of communication and control architectures for
smart energy grid deployment.
• Design of smart grids, with energy storage options, for rural
loads and distributed energy.

12. Challenges
• Managing intermittency
• Energy Storage
• Demand response
• Cyber Security

13. Future Scope
• Smart campuses are important in education, research
and development as well as energy optimization and
Microgrid.
• To understand how a campus can provide an
intelligent and a solid infrastructure for the Microgrid
functionalities.
• Development of distributed control and optimization
techniques as it apply to smart campuses and
neighborhoods.

14. Conclusion
• Microgrids are modular in structure.
• Not all generating assets need to be added at once.
• Energy cost saving.
