As most renewable energy projects, especially solar projects, are land intensive, floating solar is emerging as an efficient alternative. According to an article titled “Renewable Energy and Land Use in India: A Vision to Facilitate […]
The fast growing solar segment owes its growth to the uptake in project installations. To fully utilise the solar potential from the large number of solar projects, it is important for them to be efficient […]
The solar energy industry in India is expanding, with the installed capacity increasing by 11 times between 2014 and 2019, according to the statistics provided by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). With […]
Trackers are among the most rapidly evolving technologies in the solar space. Solar tracking systems allow modules to move so that they continuously face the sun. The aim of such a system is to maximise […]
A solar balance of system (BoS) encompasses several elements that play a significant role in ensuring smooth and efficient transmission and delivery of power by a solar module. Cables, connectors and junction boxes are key […]
The solar sector has become a mature industry within a decade, and all stakeholders have a clear understanding of the different technologies and components used in a solar project. The inverter, one of the key […]
The power sector landscape has evolved significantly over the last decade and is no longer limited to generation, transmission and distribution. With power being increasingly interconnected with transport and buildings, and the greater penetration of […]
With the world rapidly moving towards net zero emissions and meeting global climate commitments, the renewable energy sector is witnessing tremendous growth. The year 2021 is expected to witness the fastest year-on-year growth in renewable […]
Technological advancements have given rise to automation and digitalisation of operations across all sectors. The renewable energy sector is no exception. The role of automation and digitalisation has been particularly well adapted in the wind […]
Wind power deployment is growing rapidly across the world, aided by the climate action commitments and energy mix diversification strategies of various countries. Two types of wind turbines are the primary focus of innovation efforts […]
Wind turbines are powerful structures with the capability to convert strong winds into electricity, to power households and industries. Although the structure of a turbine may look simple from the outside, it houses a powerful […]
The drivetrain is often called the “powerhouse” of a wind turbine as it contains a generator and a gearbox. These appliances convert the torque generated from the rotation of the wind turbine blades into electricity. […]
The increasing penetration of renewables, particularly wind and solar, in the energy mix, and the decommissioning of fossil fuel power plants are together bringing about changes in the structure of electricity networks. With greater capacities […]
As India powers ahead in its pursuit to integrate more solar power into the national grid, there is pressure to ensure a sound transmission infrastructure as well as a robust solar inverter supply chain. The […]
The Indian solar segment is growing fast and has ambitious targets ahead. With a bustling solar market in the country, developments related to components such as solar inverters have become crucial to achieve greater output […]
Testing, certification and standardisation are critical to ensure the quality and reliability of power equipment. They are imperative for solar inverters, one of the most important components of a solar power plant. However, progress has […]
India has ambitious plans of setting up intermittent renewable energy projects. Energy storage systems are critical for integrating solar and wind power into the grid and supporting the power system. In line with this need, […]
Energy storage has emerged as a key element of grid stabilisaton and electric vehicle (EV) uptake. In the renewable energy sector, it addresses the intermittency issue of solar and wind power, and ensures a smooth […]
In June 2021, the Department of Heavy Industry released a detailed notification on the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme, National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) Battery Storage, for the implementation of giga-scale ACC manufacturing facilities […]
By Tusharjeet Bhardwaj, Founder and Proprietor, Saurya Urja Technology Energy storage plays a vital role in grid integration and the balancing of variable generation sources. By just increasing the system’s overall flexibility, energy storage systems […]
