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.
National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy
The main objective of the policy is to provide a framework for promotion of large grid connected wind-solar PV hybrid system for optimal and efficient utilization of transmission infrastructure and land, reducing the variability in renewable power generation and achieving better grid stability
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has published the benchmark costs for off-grid solar PV systems and grid connected rooftop solar power plants for the year 2018-19.
Intelizon has developed such a platform to set the standards for smart cities globally.
The landscape of outdoor lighting and surveillance is set to see a dramatic change with the introduction of IOT and AI technologies being introduced combined with energy efficient LED, cameras, electronics, batteries and green solar power. The wireless smart city will create a smart interconnected and environmentally friendly world for everyone.
Integration of Solar with Electric Vehicles
Integration of renewable energy will make EVs truly cleaner than conventional fuel vehicles taking into account the lifetime CO2 emissions. Distributed solar energy will help reduce transmission and distribution losses, thereby, reducing the lifetime CO2 emissions as well as the operating cost of EVs further, and accelerate their commercial feasibility. Distributed solar will also help curtail the CAPEX requirement for upgradation of transmission and distribution infrastructure resulting from ad
India’s Power Targets for 2018-19
A generation programme is prepared by CEA based on the actual generation by the stations during previous years, maintenance schedule furnished by the stations for the year 2018-19 and anticipated new capacity additions during the year.
India’s Hydro Power so far and some interesting case studies from Hydro power producers in India.
Power is one of the most critical components of infrastructure crucial for the economic growth and welfare of nations. The existence and development of adequate infrastructure is essential for sustained growth of the Indian economy.
Between 2012 and 2017, India’s hydropower capacity addition target was 10,897 MW while only 5,479 MW was achieved in the 5-year plan, showing only a 50% target achieved.While India made an unfair Cross Border Electricity Trade (CBET) policy for power purchase from Nepal and Bhutan, hydropower projects planned for finalisation in 2018 may take a hit as the CBET has riders which have not gone well with our neighbouring countries.
Results from India’s Market Survey on Electric Vehicles Expectations
The transportation sector alone accounts for about one-third of the total crude oil consumption and road transportation accounts for more than 80% of this consumption. Therefore the Indian government is focusing on the sector and is keen to partner with the industry for investing in sustainable mobility solutions for the future.
The sun can wait: Why growth not equal profits?
We support development and engineering efforts for making nascent technologies available, with qualities and efficiency that surpass today’s silicon-based solar technologies performance.Materials research is where we can start, particularly those that could achieve higher conversion ratios to energy or cheaper, and widely available than the rare earth elements used in battery storage.
The case against antidumping duty in Solar.
The Indian Government is expected to introduce an Anti-Dumping Duty (ADD) on solar cells and modules. It is a duty imposed on foreign goods that are being dumped in the country at unfairly low prices.The reason behind this bold step is nothing but the surge of solar exports seen in the market as well as the complaints from local manufacturers about unfair pricing. Currently, it is said that around 89% of solar panels used in India are imported from countries like China, Malaysia and Taiwan.
