Researchers from IISc, Bengaluru and IBM Research-India have developed a machine learning-based technique to manage the demand and supply of power in a network of microgrids while maximising profit. Since such local grids can run on renewable sources of energy instead of relying on fossil fuels, they also reduce carbon emissions and are sustainable.
An IIT Bombay study using satellite data shows rising greenhouse gas levels over Delhi and Mumbai and also identifies emission hotspots in these cities.
