Solar power is the fastest growing renewable energy segment, with a rapidly expanding range of products and innovations. One of the technologies in the spotlight for photovoltaic (PV) power generation is monocrystalline PV cells. Monocrystalline […]
As the demand for wind power has been growing consistently over the years, efforts have been made to accelerate technological developments to keep pace with this growth. Wind turbine power capacities have increased by a […]
Drivetrains are an essential part of a wind turbine set-up. They convert the kinetic energy from wind to electrical energy. These drives comprise smaller components such as bedding, gearboxes, brakes and generators. Gearboxes and generators […]
The drivetrain is one of the most important components of a wind turbine. It is often called the “powerhouse” of a wind turbine – an apt name as it contains a generator and a gearbox, […]
It is a well-known and accepted fact that renewable sources of energy, especially wind and solar, are infirm in nature. Their intermittent energy generation patterns create no major problems in grid operations when they are […]
With wind power installations crossing the 500 GW mark globally, wind power has emerged as the cheapest source of power in many parts of the world. In India itself, wind tariffs are hovering around Rs 2.76 […]
By Anukriti Despite tall targets and the government’s efforts to promote uptake, the growth in the rooftop solar segment remains modest. Only 352.8 MW of rooftop solar capacity was added in 2017-18, against a revised […]
By Khushboo Goyal The wind and solar power markets are growing at unprecedented rates in the wake of competitive bidding. The growing customer demand for cheaper and more efficient products has led to several advancements […]
Renovagen, a UK-based technology provider, has developed and patented flexible solar panels called “Rapid Roll Solar PV”. The copper indium gallium selenide solar panels can be rolled and fitted into a trailer or a flat […]
India is in the process of developing its renewable energy technologies in a bid to ensure a sustainable power system. The evolution of existing renewable energy technologies to smart renewables will help power economic growth. […]
India’s ambitious renewable energy targets, strong climate change mitigation commitments and record capacity additions over the past two years have put it firmly on the global renewable energy map. Its position has been further strengthened […]
The growth of municipal waste is directly linked to the population and economic progress of a town, city, state or a country. With a population of around 1.34 billion, India generates about 80 million tonnes […]
India is gearing up to achieve the 60 GW of wind energy target by 2022. To this end, market forces are realigning constantly to arrive at the best possible permutation of low capital costs and […]
The wind energy segment has witnessed several key developments over the past few years with increased capacity additions, allocations through competitive bidding and a reassessment of the country’s wind energy potential. However, evacuation of the […]
Renewable gases can be produced by anaerobic digestion of wet biomass, gasification of woody solid biomass, or the power-to-gas process, in which renewable power is used for hydrogen (H2) production through electrolysis in order to […]
With the growing focus on renewable energy, the power sector across the world is currently undergoing transformation, moving from conventional to alternative sources of energy. In some countries, the annual renewable capacity addition has surpassed […]
Area-based economies of scale have been demonstrated in the manufacturing of various technologies such as flat panel displays, coated glass for architectural applications and wafer-based semiconductor processes. While the vast majority of solar photovoltaic (PV) […]
The launch of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana in 2016 underlined the importance of providing access to modern and clean cooking technologies for around 150 million households in India. It has triggered renewed interest among […]
On the back of the revised wind power potential, India’s commitment at the Paris Conference of Parties (COP21) and the target to achieve 60 GW of installed capacity by 2022, the wind segment is poised […]
