A 16‑member team from the Odisha government travelled to Bhopal to examine a technology that uses solar‑plant inverters to regulate grid voltage after sunset, focusing on the 230 kW Manit and 2 MW Vidisha projects.
The Odisha government sent a 16‑person delegation to Bhopal to observe a new technique being trialled in Madhya Pradesh that allows solar‑plant inverters to manage grid voltage during nighttime hours. The technology, developed to keep the grid stable after sunset, is being tested at the 230‑kilowatt Manit solar plant and the 2‑megawatt Vidisha installation.
Officials from both states are reviewing the operational data and hardware configurations to assess the feasibility of scaling the solution across other solar projects. The visit aims to enable Odisha to adopt similar inverter‑based voltage control, potentially improving the reliability of its own renewable‑energy grid.
The delegation’s itinerary includes on‑site tours of the two plants, discussions with engineers from the Madhya Pradesh Renewable Energy Department, and a briefing on the expected performance benefits of the system. The outcome could inform future policy and investment decisions in Odisha’s solar sector.
