In recent years, India has seen a paradigm shift towards solar energy. Owing to its sustainability goals and its push for greener, cleaner energy usage, the country has slowly been moving towards more sustainable energies […]
Cables are a critical part of solar power plants. They are responsible for linking various components and carrying the solar energy generated from modules through the inverter to the grid for transmission to load centres. […]
Cables are a crucial component of the solar industry. As solar plants function in an open environment, they have to withstand severe weather conditions, dust, heat and UV radiations. To ensure safety and smooth functionality […]
A rise in the uptake of good quality solar power projects is expected in India. To this end, there is growing demand for quality balance-of-system equipment, with an increasing number of projects being installed across […]
As the share of grid-connected renewable energy projects is increasing, it is essential to put in place forecasting, scheduling and deviation settlement mechanism (DSM) regulations for renewables such as wind and solar. Over the past […]
Renewable energy forecasting is critical for integrating variable renewable energy resources like wind and solar power into the grid. Wind and solar power are heavily dependent on weather conditions, and thus their energy generation patterns […]
When it comes to energy security, India has travelled a long way. From an energy-deficient scenario to a state of energy surplus, the progress has been remarkable. Despite this significant advancement, the country still struggles […]
Energy storage is an integral component of electricity generation, transmission and distribution systems. Traditionally, energy storage needs have been met by physical storage of fuel for thermal power plants as well as through large-scale pumped […]
To facilitate grid stabilisation and promote the uptake of electric vehicles (EVs), energy storage is key. In the renewable energy sector, storage addresses the intermittency issue associated with solar and wind power, and ensures a […]
A key trend in the solar segment, which has led to technology advancements in solar inverters, has been the increased focus on balance of systems to maintain high returns on investment. To this end, inverters […]
Solar inverters are a crucial component in the deployment of solar energy. These devices convert DC power flowing from solar panels to AC power, making the energy usable for wide-ranging purposes. Solar inverters can be […]
An inverter is the heart of the solar PV system. It converts solar array-generated DC power into AC power in synchronisation with the grid. The inverter has additional functions such as maximum power point tracking, […]
Land acquisition challenges have long hindered the implementation of large solar power projects in India. Many projects have been delayed, tenders postponed and bids cancelled. Thus, other solar segments such as rooftop and floating solar […]
The floating solar segment has attracted the interest of the renewable energy industry, particularly in view of the land acquisition challenges. Further, higher generation, lower operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, and reduced water evaporation are […]
