Project Name: Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Siting Study to Support Freight Electrification

Project Details: Around 71% of India’s freight is transported by road. Systematic study and support in the creation of EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) would benefit commodity haulage services, optimise the electricity grid impact and maximise revenues for charging operators. MP Ensystems has developed an Intelligent Geospatial EVCI modelling tool, to identify and optimise suitable charging sites along important freight corridors in India. The model is available on the website www.evci.in. This report describes the EVCI modelling tool, stakeholder inputs on EVCI siting and recommendations on planning and investment in EVCI.

Project Name : Greening of Rural Value Chains in Madhya Pradesh

Project Details: Madhya Pradesh is an emerging state with the highest growth rate in agriculture. Even though there is a significant decline in the poverty rates in the state, several opportunities could be proposed to improve the livelihood of the rural population. This project focuses on one specific example of decarbonization opportunity emanating from efficient value-chains in the horticulture sector creating jobs and contributing to the local economy in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The report showcases EE and RE interventions for established, emerging and nascent agricultural produce contributing towards rural development.

Project Name : COMREC (Communities to Markets Resource Efficient Corridors)

Project Details : Rural, tribal and coastal communities have been severely affected by a combination of Covid-19-induced lockdowns and climate-induced disasters, specifically in the horticulture and fishery value chains. This project explores the current rural value chain and identifies ways to ‘green’ it using government recovery packages as well as other sources of finance. We are working in the southern Konkan region of Maharashtra to understand the baseline energy and water consumption and identify scale-up opportunities to support an environmentally sound recovery, strengthen livelihoods, increase social welfare and contribute to achieving sustainable development. This project also feeds into explorations in other coastal states, hilly regions and plains of Ganges.

Project Name : Techno-economic study on impact of Electric Vehicles (EVs) on the grid

Name of Client : Forum of Regulators

Project Details : In assistance to the Forum of Regulators, this project aimed to understand and evaluate options in electricity tariff reduction. The project was commissioned to identify the economic and technical impact of electric vehicle load on the grid and to evaluate business models for public charging infrastructure.

Project Name : Carrying out Study on Feasibility of using Electric Vehicles/ Buses in Bandra Kurla complex

Name of Client: Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA)

Project Details: This project carried out a pre-feasibility study including traffic management study to identify the traffic movement pattern leading to the determination of the number of buses required in the BKC area.

Project Name : MNRE under the UNDP GEF Market Development and Promotion of Solar Concentrator Based Process Heat Applications in India

Name of Client : The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE)

Project Details : The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) implemented a UNDP-GEF supported project on ‘Market Development and Promotion of Solar Concentrator based process heat applications in India’. The objective of the project was to promote and commercialize Concentrating Solar Technologies for industrial process heat applications in India. MP Ensystems was engaged by MNRE to evaluate the potential for CST in the Northern and Western state of India in the textile, paper, laundry, pharmaceutical, dairy, auto and metal treatment, food and processing and chemical industry.

Project Name : Creating Market Enablers to launch a large 1000 MW Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (HVAC) Program operationalized in 3 Indian States (Maharashtra, Karnataka and Gujarat) under the Prosperity Fund India Programme 2013-14

Name of Client : British High Commission (BHC)

Project Details : In collaboration with the British High Commission Prosperity Fund India Programme, MP Ensystems implemented this project to evolve new implementation arrangements to scale up the level of Demand Side Management (DSM) implementation in India, by focussing on the Heating, Ventilation and Air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. HVAC systems play a key role in the energy consumption of built environments and account for nearly 60 per cent of the annual electricity bills, especially in the urban centres. HVAC is also of key importance since it dominates peak loads in the electricity system. Improving HVAC efficiency can thus reduce system peak and correspondingly the on-peak costly power purchase. The program being implemented by MP Ensystems focused on driving country-wide HVAC efficiency improvement through innovative models involving implementation of DSM programs by Outsourced Entities (OEs) appointed by the electricity distribution companies, supported through existing and proposed policy levers.

Project Name : Evaluation of Bulk power procurement and remote RE integration for SBUT within current electricity regulatory framework

Name of Client : Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust (SBUT)

Project Details : Commissioned by Saifee Burhani Upliftment Trust, the project evaluated possible options to reduce consumer electricity tariffs. Developed a comparative table to show possible savings to the consumers in different categories when Open Access is sought and power is imported from outside the license area.

Project Name : Reforming Urban Transport Regulatory Environment in India

Name of Client : Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF)

Project Details : The project aimed at exploring the reforms of the existing regulatory frameworks and governance structures for urban transport in India. It assesses the existing governance structures in three Indian cities and reviews best practices followed in cities across the world. It also draws from other infrastructure sectors in India such as electricity, telecom and ports to provide potential policy reforms and institutional set-up for a candidate city in India.

Project Name : Promoting Energy Efficient and Clean Cold Chain in India

Name of Client : Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF)

Project Details : The project was to understand the current energy footprint and projections of energy footprint based on the expected infrastructure gaps field ,deep understanding of state-of-the-art technology implementation in 5 sectors in the 2 states – Haryana and Punjab. A formal technology assessment leading to an understanding of the Best Available and Appropriate Technologies and the outlining of implementation opportunities and financing aspects. The report proposes models for new ‘clean cold-chains’ that will transport food produced from farm gate to end consumers sustainably and relay demand from consumers to farm gate efficiently, with minimal environmental impact.

Project Name : Developing a strategy for design and effective implementation of Standard Offer Program

Name of Client : Shakti Sustainable Energy Foundation (SSEF)

Project Details : The project was implemented with an aim to scale up Demand Side Management (DSM) measures in India. The objective of the project was to identify technologies and provide the platform for utilities to implement Standard Offer Program (SOP). It involved creating an SOP framework and manual providing guidelines for the utilities for implementation of SOP. This was followed by an SOP roadmap which included plans to scale up SOP by identifying barriers and taking measures to tackle them. It is a comprehensive “how to guide” providing information on the steps required to design, approve, implement and verify the programme. Based on insightful stakeholder contributions, the handbook is a useful knowledge resource for distribution utilities, electricity regulatory commissions and DSM practitioners
