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.
Outlook for India’s Power and Renewable Energy Sector in 2021
In India, increasing investments in the industrial sector driven by the ‘Make in India’ initiatives, the rising input costs (energy) and electricity prices, coupled with stringent government regulations, are expected to drive investment in the establishment of captive power plants for continued uninterrupted power supply leading to sustainable industrial operations.
Focus is on Trackers to Achieve Lowest LCOE with Bifacial & Monofacial Modules
Analyzing the module cooling effect in a market like India where summer temperature goes to 50 degrees in many parts can definitely help developers in gaining the lowest LCOE with best tracking system design and module combination.
Climate Financing in India: Challenges and Opportunities
There is a great need for specialized institutions, such as IREDA, that focus exclusively on financing renewable energy projects. IREDA’s loan book of $3.5 Billion USD is too small to meet the financing needs of the sector and there is a great need for increasing the number and size of such institutions.
The Bifacial Era: Reliable & Optimal PV Solutions for 2021-22
The continued shortfall and rising prices of major raw materials during 2020-21, starting with Polysilicon and Glass, has changed the face of the PV industry forcing a shift towards high efficiency, better energy density and lower LCOEs
Energy Efficiency and its Role in Our Path to Net Zero
Despite the recent feel-good stories about net-zero pledges, carbon capture and storage and green hydrogen the reality is humanity is very far from net zero emissions. As it stands, human activity releases approximately 9.4 gigatons of carbon per year (GtC/year) into the atmosphere, the ocean (the largest carbon sink) absorbs 2.5 GtC/ year land uptake which includes vegetation accounts for approximately 1.8 GtC/year.
Telemetry’s Pivotal Role in Energy Transition
Energy producing resources are becoming more diversified with wind, wave, marine, hydro, biomass and solar all adding to traditional methods. In most developed countries around the world, renewable energy now produces a growing proportion of the total energy output, and above 20 per cent for the first time in the UK. This article explains why the latest remote telemetry unit (RTU) systems take energy companies closer to the utopia of smart grids.
Whether hydrogen fuel holds the key to delivering widespread renewable power remains under heavy debate. What cannot be argued is the shear investment that backers are putting into the energy source — as much as 470 billion euros by 2050. When sceptics protest hydrogen’s potential, as both an effective and eco-friendly fuel source, it’s important that they see the bigger picture.
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.
