The operations and maintenance (O&M) of wind power plants plays a key role in the development of the wind energy segment and the broader energy transition, by ensuring that wind turbines are able to operate […]
India is at the cusp of a green energy transition and has set an ambitious target of achieving net zero emissions by 2070. The country is rapidly expanding its renewable energy portfolio and energy storage […]
India aims to develop 500 GW of installed clean energy by 2030, with 420 GW of solar- and wind-based power. However, as solar and wind are intermittent sources of power, grid stability has become a […]
India has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2070, and solar energy is expected to contribute the lion’s share to this transition. Consequently, solar projects are rapidly being deployed in India. According to the Ministry […]
The solar energy segment in India has seen significant growth in recent years, with the government launching various initiatives and policies to promote the adoption of renewable energy. By 2030, solar is estimated to contribute […]
The floating, canal-top, and canal-bank solar segments have been gaining traction as they help avoid land acquisition challenges and increase the output of power projects, despite their high upfront cost. Projections made by Wood Mackenzie […]
With roughly 42 GW of installed wind power capacity as of November 2022, India is one of the leading nations in terms of wind power deployments. Much older and more mature than the solar power […]
Offshore wind power is one segment that has witnessed a lot of discussion over the past few years but has seen little on-ground action. A policy was released more than five years back, followed by […]
Remote monitoring of solar photovoltaic (PV) plants is now standard in almost all projects. The primary goal of remote monitoring is to collect data that can be used to develop corrective actions, if performance falls […]
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and computer vision (CV) are gradually occupying room in the renewable energy generation space. The deployment of these modern technologies alongside robots and drones plays a significant role in the […]
Solar photovoltaic (PV) plants must be constantly protected and supervised to keep them safe and reliable during their working lifetime. Incorporating smart technological equipment including artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) for remote […]
The performance of solar plants is a function of multiple components such as panels, inverters and transformers. These devices are subject to malfunctions and failure due to environmental and systemic factors. In order to effectively […]
India is on its way to overtake China in becoming the most populous country in the world. At this juncture, one can assume that “with great population, comes great responsibility”. As the population grows and […]
By Dr Pradip D. Narale, Deepak Kumar, and Ayush Ranjan, College of Agricultural Engineering and Post-Harvest Technology, Central Agricultural University, Imphal Bioenergy is the energy derived from biomass and is a renewable form of energy. […]
By D.V. Giri, Secretary General, Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association India has a wind turbine manufacturing base of 15 GW per annum, with localisation of over 70 per cent and supported by over 4,000 component […]
A wind turbine looks rather simple in appearance. However, it has several complex components that cumulatively build and support its overall functioning. A drivetrain is one such component, which converts mechanical energy into electricity. It […]
Wind energy technology has undergone a sea change over the years. Turbine capacities have shifted from kW to MW with improved efficiency parameters. The technology is constantly evolving towards improved reliability, increased capacity factors, and […]
