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.
Electricity Markets: Paradigm Shift in State’s Power Sector
The electricity market is still evolving in India. Innovative mechanisms such as exchange-based financial products, spot market pricing and, better revenue protection mechanisms (like contract for differences) could potentially open up more opportunities for the inter-state RE exchange in the near future. However, it is important to have aclear understanding of market rules, incentive structures and contractual arrangements.
Residential PV Systems: Making Lightning Protection Design More Effective
For residential PV systems, the type I and type II, two lightning strikes are the most common: direct lightning and induced lightning strikes. If the property is in a lightning-prone area or there are other high metal objects on the rooftop, e.g. solar thermal heaters, water tanks or satellite antenna, the probability of these two lightning strikes will be higher. It is necessary to enhance and strengthen the lightning protection during the design stage.
DNV GL’s Technical Report (II) confirms the value of Trina’s Vertex modules according to the assessment results of Vertex module with single-axis 2 portrait installation (2P) tracker. Vertex’s innovative “low voltage, high string power” design boosts the single string power while lowering the initial investment and the cost at each stage.
INDUSTRY JEWEL : Daniel Liu, Managing Director-South and Central Asia, JinkoSolar
India, being one of the largest individual solar market, will depend on new PV technologies as the most important change agent to push up renewable composition in its generation mix as well as bring down the cost of energy significantly. We appreciate the aggressive targets set by the India Government in terms of RE capacity addition and the constant steps that are being taken in order to achieve the projected numbers.
Japan’s Largest Wind Farm Embarks on Full-scale Drive with Yokogawa SCADA Solution
The vast Tsugaru Plain that spreads across the Tsugaru Peninsula in the northwestern part of Aomori Prefecture in Japan. It is a leafy region facing the Sea of Japan where agriculture, forestry and fisheries are thriving.
TN5015H-6G, High-Temperature Thyristor Protects Against Greater Voltage Spikes
Is it time to rethink how we protect electrical circuits in home appliances, industrial systems, and motorbike voltage regulators? There are certainly reasons to question common assumptions after ST recently updated its family of high-temperature thyristors, which can reach a junction temperature of up to 150 ºC while offering a high noise immunity.
The grid-friendly converters include FRT, SCR and SSR features, so they can be deployed anywhere in the world and are particularly well suited to emerging markets such as India or Brazil. The modular nature of the DFIG converters means they can customize and effectively minimize wind turbine LCoE.
How Latest Energy Storage Technology and Trends Can be a Game-Changer for the Renewable Sector
Energy storage is increasingly lucrative, because of its growth and acceptance as a major part of the grid. Energy storage allows the storing party to meet energy demand when that energy demand outweighs supply and prices are better for producers. Accordingly, wind and solar developers are increasingly adding small battery storage projects to wind and solar farms, so that they can take advantage of opportunities to sell energy at optimal prices.
Hydrogen: The Technology Targeting A Fuel Cell Future
Hydrogen cell-based automobiles can be better than EVs as the raw material is easily sourced, and is more cost-effective as compared to EVs. The cost of hydrogen fuel-based vehicles would be the same as that of a diesel fuel based vehicle. Hydrogen fuel cell mobility is more efficient than battery supported electric vehicles considering electricity is used for charging those vehicles.
Decarbonizing the Environment and Improving Farmers Livelihood with Bio-based Solutions
India has embarked on a biofuel programme of its own. The National Policy on Biofuels, introduced in 2018, has set a target of 20% ethanol blending in petrol and 5% of biodiesel in diesel by the year 2030. However, the capital costs and operational expenditures of biofuel technologies are presently high – an issue that must be addressed to accelerate the successful commercialization of biofuels.
