The grid collapse can cause half of the population to face darkness focusing a need of reliable well monitored supply system. Hybrid AC/DC microgrid can be the answer to resolve this problem of energy scarcity and uncertainity of supply – particularly for remote, sparsely geographically rural population... - Dr. Mrs. G. A. Vaidya, Prof. Mrs. Kalyani M. Kurundkar

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

A hybrid power generation system basically can be formed by using individual converters with each renewable energy source...  - M Ankush Kumar, PM Menghal, Dr A Jaya Laxmi

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

International technology group ANDRITZ has signed a contract with the Indian state utility company Karnataka Power Corporation to refurbish and renovate the Shivasamudram hydropower plant located in the southern state of Karnataka.

NTPC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Himachal Pradesh government to set up two hydro projects totalling 520 MW in the state.

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

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.

Since the Chinese were looking for a mega project, which needed a location that could give maximum storable head of water (H) as well as maximum water flow rate (Q), they selected a gorge area along the Yangtze river for construction of the dam, where, besides minimum length of the dam, storage of water would provide the increased levels of both Q and H to deliver optimum power output... - C V Govinda Raju

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

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

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

India became the world's third largest producer of electricity in the year 2013 and accounts for 4.8% of global share in electricity generation. But its per capita electricity consumption is only 746 kWh, which is lower compared to many countries, though electricity tariff is cheaper in India. - Lekha Chandran

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.

Coal–fired power stations are the least carbon efficient power stations in terms of the level of carbon dioxide produced per unit of electricity generated, and gas is the best. On an average 2.095 pounds of carbon dioxide per unit of electricity generated is produced in coal-fired power plants... - Mayadhar Swain

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.

As per India’s Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) the emissions intensity of its GDP is to be reduced by 33 to 35% by 2030 from 2005 level and about 40% cumulative electric power installed capacity is to be generated from non-fossil fuel based energy resources by 2030. Under such circumstances, how is the Indian hydro power segment grooming up to share the responsibility?

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
