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.
Opportunity for India to Move Beyond Renewables and Support Carbon Reduction Projects
Focus within the private sector has turned increasingly towards the voluntary carbon markets over the last several years, with many large corporations setting ambitious carbon neutrality goals and expecting to rely heavily on carbon credits to offset emissions. Biden’s environmental agenda is ambitious, as demonstrated in him recommitting the United States to the Paris climate agreement immediately upon starting office.
MAN ETES Heats Up Energy Sector Coupling
New technology from MAN Energy Solutions allows the coupling of electricity, heating and cooling – a vital development needed for a climate-neutral energy future. The Electro-Thermal Energy Storage system offers an economical approach to break the energy sector from reliance on fossil fuels
Power Electricity Prices in India and the Way Forward
The competitive power prices discovered through the Exchange helped build about 20 GW of merchant capacity out of 370 GW of installed capacity in the country. This capacity is not committed under 25-year agreement and essentially sells on competitive prices through the short-term market. One Nation, One Grid, One Price could become a reality due to price signals from the market which led to considerable investments towards augmentation and reinforcement of the transmission system.
Human Resource Development in T&D Space a Key for Digital Makeover of Workforce
Availability of manpower with right skills and competencies is grossly inadequate. One of the key hindrances is lack of training infrastructure, which if not improved in a timely manner, will adversely impact decision-making capabilities and productive efficiencies, thus impeding T&D segment’s growth.
How Drones are Revolutionising the Power Sector
Marred with power theft, loss of power during transmission and damage to property, power sector in India is a tangled mess. Most of these concerns can be solved by the use of drones. However, India’s policy on the usage of drones is vague at best, making it difficult for the sector to adopt drones for a variety of use-cases.
How can the storage amplify your solar projects?
The intermittent nature of renewable energy and the limitations on its ability to fluctuate according to demand lead to the waste of a certain amount of capacity. Energy banking has already been adopted to tackle this setback. Although, this has led to numerous regulatory issues springing up such as banking directly impacts the financial viability of Distribution Companies, which have lately begun restricting banking facilities.
Thermal Power Plants Should Comply with New Emission Norms in Post COVID-19 World
Base load power demand in India being such that coal-fired thermal power plants still account for over 70% of India’s electricity. So, we can expect thermal power to continue to occupy the top slot for quite some time to come, and we need to make strategies to mitigate risk of carbon emissions, pollution, and climate change by adopting technologies that lower coal consumption on one end and reduce emissions on another.
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.
