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.
Solar Module Waste: The Unresolved Hazard
For the solar recycling industry to grow sustainably, it will ultimately need supportive policies and regulations. The EU model of having producers finance the take-back and recycling of solar panels might be a good one to emulate. But before that is going to happen, we need to recognize that the problem exists and is going to get bigger.
With a simple idea of energy kites, it might be possible to produce enough wind energy anywhere around the clock. However, the engineering required to realize this vision is still very much a work in progress on different aspects.
Asset Management: Unlocking the True Potential of Solar Power Plants
An analysis on understanding myths related to asset management. A take on what companies need to focus on for managing solar power plants and significance of an asset manager in increasing the productivity and longevity of a solar power plant.
High-Power Modules Set New Benchmark for Large Scale Applications
The optimized design of the Vertex module has become the new benchmark for high-power modules in large scale power stations as well as distributed photovoltaic systems. Here’s an analysis of the Trina Solar’s Vertex series from design, technology, testing, energy yield, and packaging perspectives.
Transition of NTPC - The Flag-Bearer for India’s Electricity Sector
Governments, investors and utilities across the globe are rapidly moving away from coal as they realise the need to accelerate the transition to a low-cost, low-emission and sustainably profitable energy economy. To date, 142 major financial institutions including multi-lateral development banks, insurers, export credit agencies and private banks have announced coal-exclusion policies.
Technical Monitoring Guide for Solar Hybrid Mini-Grids in India
Mini grids operate in challenging environments, and their viability depends largely upon building and maintaining integrated and efficient technical systems. Due to lack of resources, low availability of appropriate equipment, and inadequate technical support services, projects frequently struggle to realize their full potential.<br />
Powering the Future by Building on Today’s Solutions
Determining the right format for power generation is only the beginning of a power plant’s journey. Once the plant starts its commercial operation, how the power generation assets are managed is critical to its overall performance and profitability.
Mumbai Power Outage - A Perspective
With growing dependency on electricity for almost everything in our daily lives, the necessity to have 24x7 electricity is a basic need rather than luxury. Impact on economy and disruption in public life goes much beyond the economics related to building transmission infrastructure to withstand multiple contingencies.
Vapor Absorption or Vapor Compression Machine? Lowering the Chilled Water Generation Cost
This study reports a comparison between vapor absorption versus vapor compression cycle for generation of chilled water. The two principle type of refrigeration plants are found in industrial use are: Vapor compression refrigeration (VCM) and vapor absorption refrigeration (VAM).
Significance of Good O&M of Solar PV Power Plants
The challenging part of O&M is not the Operations and Maintenance but is the ability to reflect the specialties of each system, topologies, installation sites, and country requirements.
