India Energy Week: 3 Ways to Improve Energy Efficiency, Reliability and Asset Integrity
For fast-growing markets like India, where utilisation rates are high and new capacity is complex to deliver, improving thermal efficiency and asset performance offers a credible way to reduce fuel use, lower emissions and strengthen operational resilience at the same time.
5 Things to Know Before Buying Your First EV Scooter
For first-time buyers, the shift from petrol to electric is not always straightforward. Unlike conventional two-wheelers, EV scooters come with a different set of considerations, battery technology, charging options, digital features, and long-term ownership costs.
Manjunath N. Reddy, the dynamic Founder and Managing Director of DhaSh PV Technologies Limited, is a true visionary in India’s solar PV industry. A true pioneer, his unwavering dedication to sustainable energy solutions has propelled DhaSh to the forefront of the renewable energy sector and made DhaSh India’s largest integrated PV junction box manufacturer, employing over 1,000 dedicated professionals.
Re-NEW-ables Rising: Charging into a New Year
As we bid farewell to 2024, the anticipation for 2025 grows. Next year promises to build upon the strong foundation laid by the transformative investments, budgetary allocations, and policy decisions of 2024. With an unwavering focus on scaling renewable capacity, attracting international investments, and integrating cutting-edge technologies, 2025 is poised to bring India's green aspirations closer to reality. Major renewable energy players shared their plans and growth with Energetica India.
Solar-Powered Cars: Futuristic Dream or Unrealistic Ambition?
The only logical way to go forward to clean transportation is electric vehicles. Adopting EVs and powering them through energy produced by solar panels that is transmitted through the utility grid or a structure nearby.
INDUSTRY JEWEL: Pradeep Kumar, Managing Director - India and Sri Lanka, LONGi Solar
If we see globally, India has played an instrumental role in promoting Renewable energy for a very long time now. The journey looks promising despite facing several challenges on the way!
When it Comes to Optimizing Wind Energy Production, Nature is the Best Teacher
The technology draws from the laws and physics of a natural swarm, i.e., Starling Murmuration, where optimization aims to treat individual turbines on farms as a collective and cooperative ‘swarm’ (as opposed to approaching optimization on a turbine-by-turbine basis). By adopting this new approach to optimizing wind assets, wind energy stakeholders stand to benefit from a 3-5% year on year improvement in AEP, helping the wind industry rise to the challenge of global net zero by 2050.
Towards a Greener Future of Freight
Though India’s foremost effort to decarbonize the transport sector – the electrification of road vehicles – is being pursued vigorously by both central and state governments. And since there is no cost-effective EV option for heavy trucks, especially those engaged in long haul freight, this initiative is only applicable to passenger and smaller freight vehicles. Any low-carbon freight transport option will need massive investment in supporting infrastructure, as well as a long gestation period.
Budget 2022-23:Energizing India’s Energy Sector
While it did enjoy some saubhagya, India’s power sector did not udayas much as it could (pun fully intended). The dilemma between energy security (read: dependence on indigenous coal) and clean energy (read: shift to renewables) continues to swing the proverbial pendulum between net zero commitment of COP26 and the harsh geo-economic realities.
Are Batteries Enough to Fulfill the Industry’s EV PROMISES?
Battery quality and its ability to deliver on all the parameters critically depend on the quality of cathodes, anodes and other critical components. With very little entry barrier, many of the components available in the market cannot be trusted for its quality. Sourcing components from tier-1 suppliers amidst rising demand would pose serious procurement challenges.
Case Study on PGESCo using Bentley Applications for $460 Mn Power Station Project
PGESCo designed a USD 460 million high-efficiency power station using Bentley applications, handling over 2,600 models and documents for on-time and on-budget delivery.
Before You Install Solar Panels, Ask Yourself These Questions
Installing solar panels are a great addition to your building, increasing its value while saving you money on energy expenditures. Solar solutions are an excellent method to save energy because they can provide electricity for years with a single upfront investment. Before deciding on the panels, ask yourself these questions.
Alternative Fuel is the Easiest Way to Meet the Growing Demand of Energy
India alone will need 9% world energy to feed its growth by 2035. This growth is coupled by multi-faceted challenges such as the waste generation, pollution, growing vehicles, oil imports, loss of foreign exchange, global warming that is unfavorably touching everyone.
6 Tips to Reduce Compressed Air Energy Costs despite Production Demand
Compressed air accounts for a fair amount of total energy costs for industrial manufacturers - typically about 12% and maybe as high as 40% in some facilities considering it is an area which could have a big impact on the compressors.
Keeping India at the Forefront of the Global Energy Transition
Leveling the upfront cost between traditional combustion vehicles and modern electric vehicles is one of the most important challenges facing electrification adoption not only in cost-sensitive emerging markets like India but worldwide. However, even with the national incentives provided by the government, many consumers still may not be able to afford the cost of a new vehicle, let alone an electric one.
