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 […]
Larsen & Toubro (L&T), an Indian multinational engaged in EPC projects has signed an agreement with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay, the country’s premier technology and research institution, to collaborate on green hydrogen […]
The global wind turbine operations and maintenance (O&M) market is expected to reach $27.6 billion by 2027 from $17.9 billion in 2020, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4 per cent over […]
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 […]
The transition to sustainable mode of transport has been accelerated driven by the imperatives to meet global targets for reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The accelerated growth of electric vehicles (EVs) results in corresponding increase […]
A recent positive trend, particularly for developers in the commercial and industrial (C&I) space, has been in the greater interest of consumers in renewable energy. They are looking to not only reduce their operational expenses, […]
At the recently-concluded 26th session of the Conference of Parties (COP26) in Glasgow, the prime minister announced that India would aim to increase its non-fossil fuel capacity to 500 GW by 2030. He also said […]
At the recent COP26 summit at Glasgow, India has set a target to reach net zero emissions by 2070, which shows that it has come a long way from its first Nationally Determined Contributions under […]
Ocean energy or marine energy includes all forms of renewable energy derived from the ocean including wave, tidal, current, salinity-gradient energy and ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC). In August 2019, the Ministry of New and […]
Renewable energy is gaining traction in India as a viable alternative to fossil fuels. It is cleaner and safer than traditional energy sources. The renewable energy sector in India has achieved substantial progress because of […]
By Khushboo Goyal Ensuring optimum solar plant performance and quality of assets is perhaps the most critical consideration for a developer today. At a time when solar tariffs have hit rock bottom at sub- Rs 2.50 per […]
Hypontech has introduced its latest three-phase inverter, HPT 30-50 kW. The HPT 30-50 kW is equipped with eight string inputs and four maximum power point trackers, allowing for a variety of module orientations and taking […]
The global solar manufacturing industry is undoubtedly dominated by China, which accounts for about 71 per cent of the world’s solar manufacturing capacity. Moreover, solar photovoltaic (PV) manufacturing involves both pre-cell and post-cell processes, and […]
The manufacturing of solar modules can be classified into two stages – pre-cell or silicon-to-wafer stage and post wafer, that is, wafers-to-cells-and-modules. In India, however, there is very little incentive for domestic players to move […]
Working towards its ambitious renewable energy targets, India has progressively increased the volume of renewable energy capacity in the past few years. This expansion is particularly being carried out on the back of the solar […]
The government has been refocusing its efforts on promoting domestic manufacturing of solar cells and modules. In light of this, various manufacturers have expressed interest in setting up or expanding their manufacturing bases in the […]
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 […]
India has committed to an ambitious target of developing 175 GW of renewable electricity capacity by 2022, of which it had already installed 90.39 GW by November 2020. Currently, environmentally conscious governments have instituted policies […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) activities play a key role in ensuring the long-term sustainability and growth of wind power projects. According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), after-sales and services have emerged as a […]
The Covid-19 pandemic had put a halt to wind energy installation. Despite this, the world is expected to have added about 65 GW of wind energy in 2020, as per the International’s Energy Agency’s estimates. […]
