Assam has seen a significant increase in power demand in recent years and has a shortage of electricity capacity.

The government has promised that every village would be connected to the grid by August 2018 and every household by May 2019. However, role of solar energy is very limited. The role solar sector would have to play in providing access is only supplying more electricity to the grid...

Bihar has about 280 - 300 sunny days in a year. There is negligible solar power development in the state at present. This article analyses the solar power potential in the state for the grid and off-grid projects…

Solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind two important renewable energy sources reached grid parity in 2010. This means that these renewables no longer need subsidies or government support for their growth. India is a tropical country that is blessed with ample solar power reception (6 lakh GW). This article has rectified the flaw and propose a metering and tariff policy that would foster widespread growth of solar roof-top in a diverse democratic country such as India. - Vithal Kamat, Nivea Chauhan Harsh Bhatt Payal Bhadresa Akash Senta

Solar energy is the best option amongst all other renewable energy sources in India as it has uniform availability of solar radiation throughout the year in most parts of the country... - Dr Rajesh Gupta, Alok Kumar Singh, Vivek Kumar, Rahul Sharma, Shweta Sharma

Today’s power scenario in the world and in India in particular has changed from that of 'Generation, Transmission,Distribution' to 'Generation, Storage, Distribution & Effective usage'. Solar power generation especially at the last milestone has been recognised as the need of the hour and though, India has not woken up to the effective storage and efficient use of power, the world at large is seriously looking at these dimensions. - S V Rao

Blockchain technology is expected to extend the benefits of investments in renewable energy microgrids and a change of ecosystem to the consumers through open access. - Dr. Vithal N. Kamat

Delay in sourcing of modules can cause cost and time overruns, invite penalties

Solid-Oxide fuel cells (SOFC) According to developers, solid oxide fuel cell technology would be among the most in demand. Researchers at Harvard School of Engineering...

The quality of power is most significant in the field of the power system. Many techniques are used for improving the same. In this article, the quality of the Power and THD values for different switching pulses are to be analyzed. Here, the existing system comprises a Solar Photovoltaic array, boost converter, Multilevel inverter with normal switching pulse, and RLC Load. The proposed system comprises a solar photovoltaic array fed multilevel inverter with Pseudorandom Binary Switching (PRBS) pulse, buck-boost converter, and three-phase induction motor. The Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence generator consists of shift register and logic gates...

Is India capable of indigenously manufacturing world-class solar panels at competitive prices? I think India most certainly is capable of producing world-class solar panels at...

Solar pumps are commonly being used for irrigation water pumping applications and the common capacity being 1 hp to 10 hp. Solar micro pumps...

Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL), the renewables arm of the Adani Group, now has its fourth wind-solar hybrid power plant fully operational at Jaisalmer...

Global warming alarms are sounding loud and clear. Meanwhile, worldwide, a disruptive change is taking place – the obsolete US (private cars) model is...
