With a major portion of the Indian population being dependent on agriculture for their livelihood, there is a need for proper irrigation facilities in the country. However, power supply to rural farmlands is often unreliable, […]
India has been making rapid progress in adopting solar energy. With growing climate concerns and falling prices of solar technology, the country has planned an energy overhaul. Significant progress has been made in the utility-scale […]
It has been roughly four years since the end of the feed-in tariff (FiT) era and the launch of competitive bidding for allocating wind power projects. However, the wind segment continues to be in a […]
Transformative technology advancements are under way in the wind power space, across its various sub-segments. The size and shape of wind turbines are undergoing a change with the use of different types of foundations, increase […]
The development of wind energy projects in India dates back to 1995. Since the turn of the century, these projects have been growing rapidly. Wind energy has dominated the Indian non-large-hydro renewable energy portfolio for […]
If a 1 MW solar power project requires 4-5 acres of land for development, vast land banks will be needed for meeting India’s 100 GW solar power target. Moreover, solar power projects are location dependent […]
The development of floating solar systems has witnessed a surge globally and in India as well. The key drivers have been land constraints, the availability of large waterbodies, and increased power generation due to the […]
By Janardhanan Ramanujalu, Vice-President and Regional Head, South Asia and ANZ, SABIC As one of the signatories to the Paris Climate Agreement, India has demonstrated its commitment to reducing carbon emissions by one-third by the […]
Solar module mounting structures and tracking solutions make the foundation of solar power plants. These are crucial across all types of solar projects as they determine how firmly the system is set up and how […]
As India continues to tap into its massive solar potential in order to reduce its carbon emissions, it has become clear that the country needs a lot more than solar panels and modules. In addition […]
The balance of system (BoS) plays a key role in the efficient operation of a solar power project. Mounting structures and trackers are the main components of BoS, responsible for the overall functioning of a […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) activities play a key role in ensuring the long-term sustainability and growth of wind power projects. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), after-sales and services have emerged as a […]
The Covid-19 pandemic had put a halt to wind energy installation. Despite this, the world is expected to have added about 65 GW of wind energy in 2020, as per the International’s Energy Agency’s estimates. […]
Digitalisation is transforming every industry, from manufacturing to transport, banking and energy. The wind power segment is no exception to the digital revolution. Wind power assets generate large volumes of data pertaining to power generation […]
The Indian power sector has evolved greatly over the past decade with the influx of renewables in the form of mega projects and small distributed set-ups, and the emergence of the electric vehicle (EVs) market. […]
The transmission and distribution sector has been a key focus area for the government. With a move towards providing round-the-clock power, high voltage transmission lines are being developed. Technologies such as flexible alternating current transmission […]
As India pushes towards achieving its target of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2020, we are seeing a wave of green energy projects, driven by wind and solar technologies. With this capacity addition, it […]
