Compressed Air - Fourth Utility of The Power Plant

In any case, if the compressed air is contaminated by the presence of moisture, dust particles, oil, or solid contaminants it can be a source of serious problems as it can highly impair the proper functioning of the pneumatic tools, machines and systems. As moisture is a great source of deterrent across various industries, its impact on the power industry is equally inconvenient. The menace of moisture is highly amplified and starkly visible in the ash conveying system of the power plant.

How Microgrids Can Help India Fight Against The Energy Crisis

India’s electricity demand is expected to triple by 2040, with rapid industrialization and population growth being the principal contributors to the surge. In response to this challenge, both public and private electricity service providers in India continue to develop strategies for transforming energy infrastructure with innovative technologies. One such strategy and solution to this is to deploy Micro/mini-grids in areas where electricity access and reliability levels are low, to start with.

Understanding the Wafer Sizes in Solar Panels

On the PV array side, the larger, more powerful wafer offers cost savings. Balance-of-system costs can be reduced per watt peak installed by using a larger wafer, which includes base pilings, support racks, or trackers, as well as all electrical components such as inverters, junction boxes, and cables. As a result, PV plants have a lower levelized cost of power and a higher return on investment.

Optimal Energy and Emissions Management during Energy Transition

The energy landscape is evolving. Energy costs are fluctuating widely and global concern to reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions grow stronger. Traditional energy sources, such as coal, have relatively declined in importance, while supplies from natural gas and renewables were consistently growing in recent years because of cost reduction.

A Smart-Thinking Approach to Tackle The Pressure on India’s Power Grid

Unusually hot weather conditions and the resulting surge in demand for power-draining air conditioning units are pushing India’s power grid to its limit. Power outages are already impacting daily life and with fears of further disruption ahead, finding a solution to easing the strain is now a matter of critical national importance.

Powering Wind, Powering Progress

To sustain maximum power output from wind turbines, wind power producers/operators must minimize unscheduled – and costly – downtime for maintenance and repairs. Further, producers and operators must overcome this challenge with equipment operating in extreme conditions of temperature, load and water contamination.
