Present method. Solar panels Inverter Battery for storage. Again Battery Inverter Appliances. The cost of the project: Solar panel: one time investment Inverter: one time investment Battery: need to buy again and again. The cost of the battery is high and because of this common man is not affordable to buy Solar Panel. If Govt. installed the R/F meters and allow the to connect with solar inverter, every majority people will install solar panels on roof top. Govt. should allow them to utilise the power produced by them. When they are not using it will go to substation via R/F meter.

For power goes to substation, govt. should give incentive by way of money or discount in bill or allow them to utilise some percentage of current (on which they produced & supplied to substation) at free of cost. Unfortunately our politicians are looting public money by way of corruption at they time of buying private current, getting bribes at on purchase of raw material, allowing their family members in private sector. Our Prime MInister Shri Narendra Modi is clearly instructed to their Minister not to to do business. But he can control only central minister. What about state governments. Center to come forward to make policy in power sector immediately.
Govt. should change their policy immediately. First of all they should make compulsory for multi storage appartmets to install Solar Panels and Solar water heaters. At least solar water heaters. Govt.s should encourage private solar power producers (on top of the buildings)in small scale and instal special meters to merge with EB line. The current is produced by solar panels, it may be untilised by the producer or it may be returned to substation (when the producer is not using). For that they should give incentive by way of power billing or discount in water tax or building tax etc. For all these broad minded chief ministers should be their in every state. Now power sector is the one and only ever green industry in this world. I don't think our corrupt politicians will do this!!!
Presently entire research is directed towards battery field to develop a high capacity, environ friendly backup for solar power for use during night time. However, an alternative way is to use the surplus generated in the housetop solar units to supply the supply grid during day time and take this Grid surplus. This Grid surplus can be used to pump back the water in a hydroelectric station upstream during day time and use it again to generate hydro power in night time. It is like using the hyrdo-dam as battery cum capacitor to store energy and release when needed. Another alternative as implemented in US is by setting up alarge solar plant in arid salt desert to store this energy in thermal bank of salt pan which is heated during day time and the heat is used during night time to run thermo-electric turbines during night time to continuously supply the grid.

If I recall well, this man also said we need to build our own technology, which was laudable and could have saved us billions in foreign exchange. But he was against the standards and built something incompatible. The story of c-dot was the same. They didn't believe in ss7, a standard which helps telephone exchanges work together.
our IITs and IIMs also try to make a bullock cart more efficient. A kind of metaphor to say that they aren't interested in doing anything in reasonable time? Or, as long as it satisfies their itch and lets them lay a claim on sarkari funds, they don't care about the outcome.
Thanks to these confused educationists, we have to import even safety pins from China and pack off our kids to other countries for higher education. The graduates in India do not believe it is worth it to pursue Masters and PhD progammes in India, thanks to this kind of low-level thinking
I mean because there is a problem in the generation and transmission of electricity, you are going to lay a new line (48V DC ??) and change all your appliances. We can put that same money in generating more power
Isnt it easier to just have a relay at the input which trips if the power goes above a certain level during load shedding. And maybe that can be triggred with GSM, the same wireless that is making our phones work.

and in this era of HVDC (high-voltage DC), he says converting to DC at substations (?) isn't efficient.

Actually you didn't understand it fully. because his idea is eactly what you are suggesting, and not to lay a DC line. DC line he is suggesting travels only inside home.
No wonder this is from an IITian. a non-practical idea. there are already many Chinese mechanics who are generating 10kw power through magnets. if at all our academician are tech savvy, they will stop embarrassing themselves with these stupid ideas. Google for more information on this. No wonder none of our great academician in India are getting Nobel prize, they are satisfied with local awards.. Govt. should think before spending tax payers money on these useless institutions like IITs, IISc etc..they use the money to put winding roads inside their campuses or raise the compound walls..

I can't agree with you more... this doesn't look feasible at all. But, may be in future they can come up with something better in this field.

This professor initiated a good debate on this open platform.Let all suggestions and criticisms enlighten his thought process further and let us invite more innovations as some how we have to solve this power cut problem in our country.
