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.
Make in India in the Automobile Sector
India must concentrate on reducing its carbon footprint in order to achieve its goal by converting the existing ICE vehicles into 100% electric ones. Retrofitting extends a vehicle’s life by 5-7 years and exempts it from the current scrappage scheme.
EV Charging is More about Customer Centricity than Hardware
Setting up an EV infrastructure is not just about running a project to install chargers on the ground as one may be tempted to believe. It’s mainly about managing the customer experience and that’s where smaller myopic operators who may have joined the ‘proverbial’ gold rush, tend to falter.
Alternative to ICE Powertrain: Battery Electric Vehicle versus Fuel Cells
In the search for an alternative source of fuel, governments are recognising hydrogen’s ability to decarbonize sectors that are difficult to abate – personal or collective transportation, freight logistics, etc. Hydrogen is also gaining traction in industries like automotive, chemical, oil and gas, and heating, where it is being viewed as a viable alternative for achieving long-term sustainability.
The chief purpose of a transformer in an electrical route is to shoot up or reduce voltages. Although one can find a plethora of different kinds of convertors available in the marketplace, but the dry type is highly commended to use, since they are cost-effective, more efficient, and come up with more safety features.
Technological Advancements in the Solar Sector in India: Evolution for the Past Decade
In 2010, the total installed solar capacity in the country was nearing 10 MW. Thereafter, practical use of solar power as a mainstream energy source showed phenomenal growth, reaching more than 37 GW installed capacity in 2020. The primary drive behind this growth was Government support with worldwide acceptability of solar creating an environment of continuous technological evolution.
How Inverter’s MPPT Structure Affects Power Generation
Different MPPT structure will affect the solar system production. From the perspective of solving the mismatch problem, one MPPT with fewer strings is better. However, in terms of stability and efficiency, the more strings for one MPPT, the better it is, because if with more MPPT, the higher the system cost, and the more the loss. In practical applications, it is necessary to combine the actual terrain to select the appropriate solution.
A Guide on Battery Storage Certification for Renewable Energy Sector
While the momentum for leveraging BESS in India’s renewable energy sector has been created, recent fire accidents involving mostly Lithium-ion battery storage systems in the U.S., Europe, Australia and South Korea underscore the need for safety standards.
White Paper: How to Select a Safe and Reliable Residential Inverter
The key factors which should be paid attention to when selecting a safe and reliable residential inverter are security, reliability and user-friendly settings.
Energy Storage Systems and Smart Future Cities - An Indian Perspective
Today, 54% of people worldwide live-in cities and this is expected to reach 66% by 2050. Overall population growth and urbanization is expected to add another 2.5 billion people to cities over the next three decades. Energy storage has been identified as a key to climate change mitigation. Globally, only 3% of power capacity is being stored. To limit global warming to below 2°C, energy storage capacity needs to triple by 2050.
