Energy Transition takes place in day to day life. Present Electricity Grid needs to adapt to the flexible loads ‘and necessary transmission of renewable energy. Super Grid can bea possible solution to face this, energy transition. 72 | may 2015 Super Grid. ergy ELECTRICAL INDIAriven by the tree imperatives of combating climate change, providing allonable enemy to consumers and ensuring soourly and independence of eneray supplies, World is moving towards te creation ofa single market in electiciy.
