This paper discusses the role of advanced converter technology for Nanogrids in solving acute power shortage problem in Rural India. The paper is divided into two sections. In the first section, the advances in Nanogrid converter technology are discussed. The implementations and advantages of multi-output converters are delineated In the second section, some proposals are presented to incorporate these new technologies for easy adaption in rural electrification. A prototype is built using off-the-shelf components and commercial loads to prove the usability of the proposed concepts.
