This PPA is a step forward for Facebook in its sustainability goal of supporting all of its operations with clean and renewable energy.

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE) will supply three onshore wind farms in Norway including 70 units of its Onshore OptimaFlex wind turbines.

Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) revealed that the Indian Wind industry will meet Government’s target of 60 GW ahead of 2022 deadline.

This win is on back of the 300MW order win from SECI-1 auctions, 300MW in SECI-2 auctions and 200MW from SECI-3 auctions.

Suzlon will install around 36 units of S111-140m wind turbine generators (WTGs) with rated capacity of 2.1 MW each.

Altogether, 5,000 modern protection and control relays from Relion will secure the electricity transmission for about 30 million citizens and contribute to the smooth integration of renewables into the Turkish transmission grid.

Wind power accounts nearly 9.87% of India’s total installed power generation capacity and generated 46,011 million kWh in the fiscal year 2016-17 which is nearly 3% of total electricity generation. The capacity utilisation factor is nearly 19.62% in the fiscal year 2016-17 (14% in 2015-16)…

The appointment was announced at the IWTMA’s Extraordinary General Meeting held on 10th January 2018 in Chennai. 

The project showcases the 2 MW platform’s flexibility by optimising wind park layout to the site’s wind conditions and employing 34 V100-2.0 MW turbines as well as 14 V110-2.0 MW turbines that combined maximise energy production. 

The project will comprise 39 MM92 wind turbines which will produce enough clean energy to supply the power needs of over 50,000 Victorian homes.

Suzlon group is actively working on offshore wind energy technology and has initiated techno-commercial feasibility study.

With over two decades of operational track record, the Group has a cumulative installation of approximately 17 GW of wind energy capacity, over 8,200 employees with diverse nationalities and world-class manufacturing facilities. 

There is a need to navigate the energy transition for sustainable growth in socio-economic aspects of the country. Though the energy consumption per GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is higher, production of valuable goods is quite low in the country which shows that there is a need to improve the end-use efficiency. …

A comprehensive study on harnessing wind energy and fluidics principle to enhance the cooling rate of solar modules.

Government of India has set an ambitious target of reaching 175 GW of renewable power capacity in the country by 2022 of which 60 GW to come from wind. The country has further set a goal of having 40 percent of its installed electric capacity powered by non-fossil-fuel sources…

The orders were booked in the second quarter of 2018 and are the first tranche of a global five-year frame agreement for the supply of electrical and automation equipment for offshore and onshore wind power connection and integration to the grid.

Solar power has emerged as the fastest growing segment within the renewable energy sector in India, overtaking the long-time favourite wind power. What it will take to regain wind power growth momentum? By Subhajit Roy, Group Editor

ReNew Power announced the successful commissioning of Phase 1 (126 MW) of its 250 MW wind project located in Kutch district of Gujarat.

The Government has also approved the enhancement of capacity from 20,000 MW to 40,000 MW of the scheme for development of solar parks and ultra-mega solar power projects. The enhanced capacity would ensure setting up of at least 50 solar parks each with a capacity of 500 MW and above…

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
