Introduction To India's Energy And Proposed Rural Solar-PV Electrification Najib Altawell
The document discusses rural electrification in India through solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. It notes that over 400 million Indians lack access to electricity and many rely on biomass for cooking and kerosene for lighting. The government aims to achieve universal electrification by 2022 but has so far only met 1% of rural energy needs through renewables. The document advocates for solar PV as a way to bridge India's electricity gap and outlines various government incentives to promote solar development and installation of over 2 MW of solar capacity to date.
The electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 223.625 GW as of 2013, the fifth largest in the world. However, India faces regular shortages of electricity due to a growing demand that outstrips supply. Demand for electricity far exceeded availability during 2010-2011, with a base load deficit of 8.5% and peak deficit of 9.8%. Key reasons for the shortage include high transmission and distribution losses, insufficient production to meet rising demand from economic and population growth, and issues acquiring land and resources to expand power infrastructure.
Feasibility Study on Battery Energy Storage System for Mini gridijtsrd
Mini grids defined as a set of electricity generators and battery energy storage system is connected between the load side and the source side. A key feature of mini grids is that they can operate autonomously with no connection to a centralized grid. Gaw Cho village, Sagaing Division, Myanmar is selected because of the higher potential of solar energy. This paper presents the unbalance condition between the load side and the source side because the solar energy is changing under weather condition. Diesel generator is used as a backup system for this proposed area but the operation of the fuel cost increased for long term period. Here, battery energy storage system is used as a secondary supplier to balance between them. This paper focus on to used HOMER software for pointing out the result outcome not be oversizing the system requirement. Using real time data, storage characteristics and HOMER simulations, optimal sizing for both approaches were established. A well design min grid offered available tool for the rural electrification system.

Active and reactive power sharing in micro grid using droop control IJECEIAES
The development of renewable energy contributes to the global objectives of reducing our greenhouse gas emissions, obtaining and increasing our energy efficiency. In the face of these changes, the electric-network must adapt, while maintaining a high level of reliability and a quality of energy production. To meet this objective, it is recommended to use highly developed electrical network by integrating renewable energy sources in order to adapt the energy consumption to their production, using electrotechnical software information and telecommunications technologies. We are talking about intelligent grids (Smart Grid). The main objective of the work presented in this paper is the contribution to the study of intelligent network for efficient management of energy produced by several sources linked to the AC bus via the voltage inverters. Numerical simulations have been presented to validate the performance of the proposed active and reactive power controller (Droop Control).

The power sector in India has undergone significant changes since independence in 1947. Initially, the sector was controlled by the British with a generating capacity of 1,362 MW. Post independence, the Electricity Supply Act of 1948 established the Central Electricity Authority and State Electricity Boards to regulate and supply power. Until the 1990s, state governments managed generation, transmission and distribution. Economic reforms in 1991 introduced privatization. The Electricity Act of 2003 further restructured the sector by introducing license-free generation, open access to transmission and gradual implementation of open access in distribution. Currently, India ranks 5th in production but faces issues like shortage of fuel, infrastructure gaps and high transmission losses that impact reliable supply.

Distributed Generation generally refers to power generation at the point of end user or
customer. Distributed Generation is gaining worldwide acceptance due to it’s a number of benefits.
Distributed Generation eliminates the cost and complexity and reduces the chances of inefficiency
which occur in the transmission and distributed network [1]. Basically electricity produced is
generated at large generating stations which is then send at high voltages through the transmission
lines to the load centers and then through local distribution network distributed to the customers at
distribution level voltage. In present scenario there is an increase in demand which is creating gap
between demand and supply to fulfill this gap distributed generation can plays the significant role.
The main reason for the need of distributed generation is it is clean and continuous. Distributed
generation means generating power on site not centrally. Distributed generation is the best way for
rural electrification. This paper will discuss the importance and benefits of Distributed Generation in
near future

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
