Hybrid energy systems can be potential solutions for the electricity problems in the rural region. However, vast research is needed in this aspect to make it technically feasible to be deployed at these areas. - Dr. Vikramaditya Dave, Dr. Sujit Kumar

The renewable energy sector has seen rapid growth over recent years. This article takes an in-depth look at how renewable is shaping our energy future in India. - Lata Gidwani

This article deals in brief with the hydro power potential and status of development, projects in operation/ under implementation/ under planning, largest head hydro power plants, small hydro power plants in India. - M P Singh

Located in Suryapet district of Telangana, the greenfield project has been set up for Telangana State Power Generation Corporation Limited (TSGENCO) on the river Krishna.

The transaction will save customers money over time, while ensuring a continued source of clean energy.

This prestigious order is a testimony to BHEL’s proven technological prowess in executing power projects of this magnitude.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated Kishanganga Hydro Power Station (330 MW) of NHPC to the nation.

Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has successfully commissioned the prestigious 330 MW Kishanganga Hydro-Electric Project (HEP) in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K).

It is essential to ensure that the available renewable sources are utilized in the best possible manner. In order to maintain uninterrupted power supply, the authors propose that a pump hydro storage unit is used to manage the intermittencies associated with renewable energy sources…

India’s to make sure sustainable growth, not only economically but also from social and environmental factors dependency on thermal sector for power has been slowly decreasing considering conscious and smart & on the other hand our country’s potential for hydro-power generation is exponentially increasing, therefore, gradually shifting its base towards renewable energy generation for future plans…

Energy storage technologies can be employed to store the useful energy from renewable resources according to their availability and can be made use in future. They have the added benefits of improving stability, power quality, and reliability of supply...

The Tuirial HEPP has been constructed as a Central Sector Project and implemented by North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO), under the administrative control of the Ministry of Power, Government of India.

Nature has endowed the State of Himachal Pradesh with a vast economically exploitable hydropower potential of about 18,540 MW (with station installed capacity over 25 MW), which is equivalent to 1/8th of the total hydro power potential assessed in India.

Jammu and Kashmir is a region with immense potential for renewable energy projects. Considering the region’s vast potential to harness renewable resources and to promote clear energy, investment in this sector promises high returns.

India has vast potential for hydro power development. A major part of the unexploited potential exists in Himalayan and North Eastern regions. The hydro sector inherently poses few challenges primarily on account of risk associated with implementation that can be mitigated.

Working as a part of your team, DEIF’s process helps to define problems, identify solutions and develop ideas in a manner which will provide the most successful and appropriate end results...

The power generation shortfall in India is estimated at 11% of the total energy, and 15% of the peak capacity requirements and these figures are likely to increase. This is despite the fact that the country is already consuming more than 2 million barrels of imported oil a day – a figure that is growing by about 10 percent annually... - Jay B. Thakar

Keeping in view the falling tariff in Solar PV, there has been talk of having competitive bidding in wind power also, however it would be a challenge to opt for competitive bidding in case of wind as the wind power is very site specific – even in locations which are high wind zone as compared to solar which is more widespread phenomenon... - Vijay Singh Bisht

Tamil Nadu has been a pioneer State in the field of hydro power development in India. It is the only State in India where all of its economically exploitable hydro power potential has been harnessed. The State has the highest head hydro power plant in India and has developed every type of hydro power schemes: run off river & storage based schemes, surface & underground power houses, high head & low head plants, base load & peak load stations, single & multi-purpose schemes, conventional & pumped storage schemes, schemes in cascade development, inter-basin transfer of water for power generation etc... - M P Singh
