Power to the People – the Next Movement in Decarbonisation Performance

The 2020s have seen decarbonisation become a top priority for many governments and companies. Just as they built a competitive advantage in industries using the lowest Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE), future champions will cement their advantage by leading with the lowest Levelized Cost of Carbon (LCOC).

Winds of Change – The Storage Revolution in India

The integration of storage with wind will be gradual, this is something that has been observed in projects worldwide. The main reason for this is because wind, though variable, is available throughout the day thus the requirement of storage to store power and discharge when the source is not available (like in solar) is less here. For wind, storage comes in more beneficial for a shorter duration of storage ranging from 1 to 4 hours.

Superior Lubrication Solutions for a ‘Wind-Wind’ Situation

Though the prime resource, wind, is available abundantly at no extra cost – seamless wind energy generation requires a slew of technologies, including advanced wind turbines, high-quality wind blades, the right lubrication solutions and superior servicing technology to maintain continuity in operations. Here, monitoring the health of Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) is an important consideration.
