MUMBAI, India, April 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202631043968 A) filed by National Institute Of Technology, Rourkela, Orissa, on April 6, for 'solar pv-wind-biomass gasifier based dc microgrid.'

Inventor(s) include Prof. Arnab Ghosh; Jayadev Meher; and Prof. Krishna Roy.

The application for the patent was published on April 17, under issue no. 16/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The invention discloses a Solar PV-Wind-Biomass Gasifier based DC microgrid system designed for sustainable and reliable power delivery in remote environments. The microgrid integrates solar photovoltaic, wind, and biomass gasifier sources with a battery storage unit through a common DC-bus architecture. A key feature of the invention is the utilization of a biomass gasifier as a dispatchable and dynamically controlled renewable source, coordinated by a centralized energy management controller to compensate for the intermittency of solar and wind energy. The system employs dedicated power electronic interfaces, including a SEPIC converter for solar PV and a dual active bridge (DAB) converter for bidirectional battery control. By providing real-time power compensation and voltage stabilization through biomass integration, the invention eliminates the need for diesel generators, reduces power conversion stages, and offers a modular, scalable solution for agricultural and rural electrification."
