There are many ways to maximise wind power generation at a particular site. One of the prime solutions is bigger rotors and blades, which can cover a wider area. The benefits of larger blades are […]
Due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian wind energy sector witnessed its slowest year in 2020, adding a mere 1.1 GW of capacity. Almost 2 GW of installations were either pushed to […]
The past decade has witnessed a massive global movement towards offshore wind farms as countries expand their renewable energy capacities to meet their power requirements. As compared to onshore wind installations, offshore wind farms get […]
By Dr S.S. Verma, Department of Physics, Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering & Technology Innovation has been driving the wind power market and its large, medium and small-scale versions. With the growing demand and awareness towards renewable […]
As the share of renewable energy projects connected to the grid is increasing, it is essential to have forecasting, scheduling and deviation settlement mechanism (DSM) regulations in place for renewables such as wind and solar. […]
The success of the wind energy segment depends on accurate monitoring and resource assessment of the wind potential, based on which sites are selected for setting up wind power projects. This process is more cumbersome […]
As the solar segment expands, there is an increasing need to improve the efficiency of solar plants. This includes improving equipment performance, increasing longevity and minimising operational expenses. One key area where market technologies are […]
Robots have come a long way since their laboratory days to being widely used in manufacturing, farming, the military and even healthcare. In pursuit of emission reduction, countries across the globe are switching to cleaner […]
The power sector is not new to technology disruptions, whether it is a shift to cleaner technologies or the use of digitalised operations to improve efficiencies. The latter has made significant strides in the Indian […]
By Dilip Kumar, Founder-Director, Inspire Clean Energy and Reparar Works The exponential growth in solar PV installation is changing the landscape of management and operations and maintenance (O&M) of these plants.The average size of a […]
Once viewed as the fuel of the future, green hydrogen, or hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources, has swiftly assumed centre stage in the global energy transition. Governments, as well as the massive energy industry […]
Hydrogen is a key component of the efforts being made towards greening the grid in India. While the hydrogen segment is at a nascent stage, it holds immense growth potential. To scale up green hydrogen […]
NTPC’s vision is to supply reliable and cost-effective green hydrogen to become an integrated energy major in the green hydrogen value chain across the transport, industry and power sectors. The company’s focus is on hydrogen […]
In order to fully utilise the potential of solar energy, the absorption and reflection of sunlight is crucial. Solar glasses and mirrors are thus some of the most important components of a solar system. They are […]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) glass is among the most critical components of solar power plants, as the glass and its backsheets act as the first point of contact with solar irradiation. The glass sheet protects solar […]
The quality of equipment used in concentrated solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) plants has a major role to play in increasing the overall generation from the plant. One of the key components in […]
India’s solar capacity stood at almost 37 GW, as of November 2020, increasing by leaps and bounds from less than 7 GW at end 2016. This growth in the solar power segment can be attributed […]
It has been well established that along with solar modules, efficient supporting equipment is an important factor in the construction of solar projects. The inverter is one of the key components of any solar system. […]
The rapidly growing solar market calls for a fast evolving solar inverter market. Inverters are an integral part of power generation through solar. The function of a solar inverter is to convert the direct current […]
Unlike project development and execution, which take one to two years, a solar project’s operations and maintenance (O&M) phase continues for the entire 25-year life of the plant. Efficient O&M, thus, is critical for mitigating […]
