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.
Improving Operational Excellence in Wind Farms
Governments around the world are slowly scaling down renewable energy incentives such
as tax benefits and generation based incentives while renewable energy electricity prices are
falling. Companies are thus focusing on minimizing operations and maintenance (O&M) costs
and maximizing power production. Data analytics enables O&M teams to achieve both goals by
taking a closer look at the data from every plant device.
Connecting IT with Operational and Engineering Technology for Asset Performance Modeling
“It is helpful to think of digital engineering information as the digital DNA for infrastructure assets
– down to every nut, bolt and screw. Just as doctors can analyze human DNA to anticipate health
issues and personalize healthcare for better health outcomes, companies can harness the digital
DNA of their assets to personalize asset maintenance for better TOTEX, maximized uptime and
more.“
Electr?c?ty Product?on From PV Panel And Impact of Temperature to Product?on on the Panels
DC voltage occurs when light falls on the terminals of the solar panels. The resulting performance
values of electricity, the amount of light falling on varies depending on the angle of incidence and
climatic parameters. The yield of the electrical energy obtained from conversion according to the
structure of the battery is between 10% and 20%.
Telangana’s Net-metering Regulations 2016
The Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission has come out with the Regulation for the
grid connected Solar Rooftop Photovoltaic System
How Seriously is India Considering Rooftop Solar Applications?
India is obviously trying to build a stable infrastructure to uphold its rooftop solar vision. And
MNRE’s announcement of generating 40 GW from grid connected solar rooftop installations by
2022, speaks in favor of India’s commitment to the idea. However, the latest installed capacity of
a meagre 525 MW (in 2015) present some very logical doubts, putting India’s boast of reaching
the mammoth goal on unstable grounds.
Total Corporate Funding in the Solar Sector Comes to $1.7 Billion in Q2 2016: Mercom Capital
Global solar VC funding (including private equity) saw a large decline this quarter with $174
million in 16 deals compared to $406 million in 23 deals in Q1 2016.
Overview of Technical Characteristics for Batteries
There are hundreds of different batteries available in the market today, and the technical
characteristics and performance differ per technology, per manufacturer, and per supplier. Their
discharge time ranges from one second to a day, while their capacity ranges from one kW to
tens of MWs. Furthermore, there are variations within each technology depending on the voltage
level, the desired depth-of-discharge, and maintenance and load requirements.
Tesla Energy wants to revolutionize the market with their domestic batteries
The presentation to the public of the batteries for home and small businesses Tesla was a great
media success. But, so are the batteries themselves? The whole project depends on the ability
to accumulate photovoltaic energy to a higher level. And to meet that goal, Tesla needs to make
a huge amount of batteries.
Growing presence of Energy Storage technologies in Global power market
As the energy scenario in India progresses, energy storage can play a vital role in supporting the
growing renewable and power industry. According to IHS, a USA based market research firm,
the global market for energy storage is expected to grow at 6 GW of installations annually in
2017 versus 0.34GW of annual installation in 2012-13. Meanwhile, India Energy Storage Alliance
(IESA) projects the storage potential in India to be around 15GW by 2020.
