How to Hasten India’s Transition Away From Coal

Cars That Think

The generating station injects the electricity onto the grid, and the same amount is immediately delivered, or wheeled in, to the customer, using the utility’s existing transmission and distribution network. Should the local power grid fail, the complex has backup diesel generators. Both systems were designed and fabricated at IITMRP.
