India plans to have 175 GW of renewable energy capacity connected to the grid by 2022 and then 450 GW by 2030. With renewables set to occupy a significant chunk of the total energy mix […]
In light of the increasing penetration of renewable energy, energy storage has emerged as a key element for stabilising the grid. As the share of variable renewables grows, electricity systems need to become increasingly flexible […]
India has an ambitious goal of installing 225 GW of renewable energy, including 175 GW of solar and wind by 2022. Analysts expect that the country will achieve at least 175 GW, though this will put a […]
With increasing renewable energy penetration across the world, questions are being raised on the ability of renewables to replace conventional sources of energy for the generation of baseload power. To address these concerns, energy storage […]
The Indian power sector is undergoing a major transition owing to significant renewable energy integration. In 2017-18, the sector saw renewable energy capacity additions exceeding conventional power capacity additions for the first time. Transmission and […]
In September 2016, several wind farms in South Australia blacked out owing to a fault in the transmission system, resulting in a continent-wide power crisis. While critics got a reason to question the increasing dependence […]
The deployment of solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind technologies has grown rapidly in recent years in the US. With this, the various stakeholders have become increasingly interested in enhancing the value of these variable-generation resources […]
At the current stage of transformation in renewable-based energy generation, the Indian power sector needs a range of demand and supply-side regulatory reforms. The reforms should be aimed at enabling effective grid management and providing […]
Awell-defined policy and regulatory framework to support energy storage is so far absent in India. However, a handful of grid-connected energy storage projects (other than pumped hydropower storage) have been awarded over the past year […]
