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. […]
Digitalisation is transforming every industry, from manufacturing to transport, banking and energy. The wind power segment is no exception to the digital revolution. Wind power assets generate large volumes of data pertaining to power generation […]
India’s solar capacity stood at almost 37 GW, as of November 2020, increasing by leaps and bounds from less than 7 GW at end 2016. This growth in the solar power segment can be attributed […]
It has been well established that along with solar modules, efficient supporting equipment is an important factor in the construction of solar projects. The inverter is one of the key components of any solar system. […]
The rapidly growing solar market calls for a fast evolving solar inverter market. Inverters are an integral part of power generation through solar. The function of a solar inverter is to convert the direct current […]
The Indian power sector has evolved greatly over the past decade with the influx of renewables in the form of mega projects and small distributed set-ups, and the emergence of the electric vehicle (EVs) market. […]
The transmission and distribution sector has been a key focus area for the government. With a move towards providing round-the-clock power, high voltage transmission lines are being developed. Technologies such as flexible alternating current transmission […]
The availability of contiguous tracts of land has always been a pain point in the development of large-scale solar power projects. Delays in various land acquisition processes have in the past led to the postponement […]
The solar power sector in India is transitioning from multicrystalline module technology to monocrystalline module technology. While the latter is more efficient and less sensitive to high temperatures, it is also more expensive. India traditionally […]
