In October 2020, the Sustainable Environergy Research Lab (SERL) under the Chemical Engineering Department of IIT Delhi, successfully demonstrated the working prototype of VRFB that can efficiently store and utilize renewable energy for a wide range of applications. Here is a brief on the versatile energy research being conducted in the institute…

The large scale penetration of Plug-in Electric Vehicles (PEVs) in the transportation segment makes the utility power network more stressed and less efficient due to negative impacts of integration of PEVs for charging the batteries. This article describes the PEV technology, charging strategies of PEVs, smart grids and integration of PEVs and types of energy storage systems...  - K Ramalingam, C S Indulkar

Energy management is a process by which a sector or an organisation can effectively manage how much energy they produce and how to control, monitor and conserve as much energy as they can while also generating enough energy to meet the demand of the customers...

By the Electrical India content team Digitisation refers to generating the demand for huge volumes of data that thereafter leads to increasing demand for data...

Thermal energy generators are expected to be phased out and not replaced as they age out. However, the biggest issue to be resolved will be the erratic generation from renewable sources, which is not controllable on demand. Solar plants operate only when sun is shining, while wind mills operate only in windy conditions. Renewable energy will have to necessarily depend on devices and facilities which can store the energy when available and dispense to loads as per demand... - R. P. Deshpande

Pradhan reiterated Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for G20 taking a human-centric approach for overcoming challenging hardships, especially for the vulnerable.

The better outage management increased remote monitoring on power losses and controlling them and accurate billing are most important advantages of smart meters using AMI. Smart meter has a great role in smart grid and is considered as most important for future energy management...

Across the world, economic recovery is at top of mind for politicians, with renewable energy integration taking centre stage. Despite disruptions from the Covid-19...

With energy conservation and carbon reduction key priorities, it is in the collective interest of all to encourage Net Zero Energy Building as an imperative requirement. Where are we as far as this approach is concerned?

Energy conservation is nothing but a strategic use of energy in order to reduce the energy requirements per unit output. Energy conservation in domestic sector is a good point to start as about 20 to 30% of the total energy generated is utilised for domestic purpose, which is a considerable share...   - Vishal Kumar Gaur & Bhavesh R Bhalja

With the changing demand pattern, the energy supply methodology also needs to transform…
