By Khushboo Goyal While rapid expansion in solar photovoltaic (PV) deployments worldwide is under way, there is a massive thrust on developing the most efficient solar modules at competitive prices as well. Research and development […]
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 […]
By Khushboo Goyal To address the issues of demand-supply mismatch, energy security and climate change, the government, along with various state agencies, has been focusing on renewable energy development. However, land unavailability and transmission constraints […]
By Anukriti On May 25, 2018, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) issued the guidelines for setting up 2,500 MW of ISTS-connected wind-solar hybrid power projects under the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy. The […]
To promote both wind and solar power uptake in Gujarat, the state government has launched the Gujarat Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy, 2018. It is the first state to have released a policy framework for hybrid projects […]
By Ashay Abbhi The pursuit to resolve the challenges in the Indian renewable energy sector has given rise to many innovative solutions, especially in the wind and solar energy segments. The complementarities of the two […]
India is amongst the fastest growing economies in the world and has a rising energy demand. Endowed with a vast coastline, the country has been taking steps to harness its huge offshore wind power potential, […]
Offshore wind power has emerged as a rapidly developing source of energy across the world, with increasing maturity and a promising future. The year 2017 saw high capacity additions in many countries, low price bids, […]
The Indian solar power market is yet to see growth across the value chain. Even as the installed solar capacity promises to grow every year, the manufacturing segment continues to lag behind. During 2017-18, domestic […]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) has emerged as the fastest growing renewable energy technology in a span of a few years and is second only to wind in terms of uptake. This growth has been driven by […]
The decision on levying safeguard duties on imported solar modules is yet to be taken by the government. It is most likely to apply to Chinese modules, which accounted for 88 per cent of the […]
With agriculture being the main occupation in rural India, providing adequate irrigation to farmers is the primary concern of the government. Since farmers continue to rely on erratic monsoons as the primary source of irrigation, […]
Wind power is one of the more mature sources of renewable energy in India, with an installed capacity of 32.8 GW as of January 2018. This stability along with the shift to competitive bidding from […]
The global energy scenario is changing rapidly as the majority of the countries are moving towards non-fossil fuel-based renewable energy generation such as wind and solar. As per the statistics released by the Global Wind […]
With the growth in the Indian solar segment, there is an increased demand for inverters, one of the most essential components in balance of system. The cost of inverters has seen a decline in the […]
The country’s total installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity reached 20 GW in 2017, of which about 9.6 GW was added during the year. Meanwhile, solar power generation increased from 11.6 billion units (BUs) in 2016 […]
With over $114 billion worth of investments in 2016, solar photovoltaic (PV) overtook wind energy to become the fastest growing renewable energy technology in the world. The installed solar PV capacity reached 303 GW globally […]
