Projects

At ADMIRE Lab, we focus on renewable energy and AC/DC microgrids, developing advanced power electronics, smart grid solutions, and energy management strategies for a sustainable and resilient power future.

High Energy and Power Density (HEAPD) solutions to large energy deficits

The Indo-UK collaboration focused on advancing low-carbon generation through local DC grids. This project created a platform for knowledge exchange between professors and researchers from India and the UK, fostering innovative solutions for sustainable energy while addressing the growing need for efficient and decentralized power systems.

UI-ASSIST: US India collaborative for smart distribution System with Storage

This project focuses on developing and demonstrating DSO functions for optimal DER utilization, microgrid control, and high energy storage integration. It addresses communication, data, cybersecurity, economy, resilience, social impact, workforce needs, policy recommendations, and seamless integration of μEMS and DSM functions for efficient and sustainable power management.

Demonstration of MW scale Solar energy Integration in weak grid using Distributed Energy Storage architecture (D-SIDES)

This project aims to standardize design, analysis, and deployment techniques for integrating energy storage systems, enhancing weak solar-integrated distribution networks. It focuses on transforming these systems into reliable, robust grids, enabling greater renewable energy penetration and ensuring stability, efficiency, and sustainability in future power systems.

Indo-Danish collaboration for data driven control and optimization for a highly Efficient Distribution Grid

(ID-EDGe)

This project minimizes reliance on communication infrastructure and third-party data by using a machine learning-based approach to predict system operation. A robust optimization technique ensures secure, efficient, and adaptive grid performance, enabling uninterrupted, cost-effective power supply while maintaining resilience against disturbances and dynamic operating conditions in the distribution network.

Zero peak Energy Building Design for India (ZED-i)

This project tackles peak demand reduction by eliminating it at the source—buildings. With most future buildings yet to be constructed in developing countries, it offers a chance to decouple economic growth from energy use. It lays the foundation for zero-peak energy building design in warm climates while ensuring comfort.

Development of Renewable Energy Integrated Smart grid laboratory (DORIS)

With growing populations and rising energy demand, balancing generation and consumption is crucial without compromising comfort. Supporting the “electricity for all” initiative, this project promotes green energy integration while ensuring secure, reliable grid expansion. It emphasizes a composite electricity grid with advanced control, computing, and communication for optimal operation.

“ADMIRE lab’s vision and mission is to develop research-oriented frameworks for design and analysis of DC, AC and AC-DC Hybrid Microgrids with unprecedented levels of flexibility, scalability and expandability.”
