Local renewable energy sources have the potential to provide power security to societies. The main objective of this research is to improve electricity reliability in grid‐connected societies in case of the grid failure or during blackouts. Here, a cost‐effective method to utilize local irregular renewable energy sources for community applications has been proposed. Solar PV, pumping units, domestic loads, and pico hydro are the main parts of the proposed system. The storage water tank also performs the function of pump storage to deliver power during off‐sun periods. The pump storage generates electricity by using the unused potential of the water stored in the storage tank. In islanded mode, the system delivers power to the village to essential loads and fluctuating power to the dump load. The paper provides a case study in which the proposed DC microgrid has been demonstrated for a society to validate the system's performance for different practical scenarios. It has been validated for financial and technical feasibility through economic analysis and MATLAB Simulation performance respectively.

Our study pores on evaluating the impact of firm specific and macro level determinants of energy intensity of Indian firms belonging to manufacturing and power sector. We collect a panel dataset of 3316 firms for 10 years ranging from 2010 to 2020. We employ the advanced biased corrected method of moments estimator and the quantile regression estimator for panel data models for our empirical analysis. We find that poor labor efficiency is largely responsible for increasing energy intensity of the sample firms. Energy intensity can be optimized by investing in better plant and machinery. Moreover, machineries that require frequent repairs and maintenance need to be replaced with latest tools. While larger firms are found to be energy intensive, profitable firms are found to be in a better position to enhance their energy efficiency. Under macroeconomic scenario, GDP growth and trade openness lead to boosting up the energy consumption at the firm level whereas, the global energy prices act as a constraint and necessitate careful use of energy. Based on our findings we provide certain policy recommendations and suggestions in order to limit energy intensity and enhance energy efficiency of the Indian manufacturing firms.
