Ingeteam opened a new facility in the vicinity of Chennai to satisfy the demand for wind power converters and control cabinets by both local and international OEMs with operations in India.

The specific points in the new guideline for wind power projects will serve the purpose of streamlining the new projects...

Our government has formulated an Integrated Energy Policy (IEP) document that gives a roadmap to develop energy supply options and increased exploitation of renewable energy sources. This article tries to explore how far our power industry is aligned to the global trend… - P K Chatterjee

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

It is always useful to recycle the waste material. Recycling process consumes about half of the energy to produce same quantity of products, which would have been otherwise made from the virgin materials... - Nidhi M J, Shaikh Shamser Ali

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

After a thorough research into both sub types of vertical axis wind turbine rotors configurations, it has been decided to base turbine design on the Darrieus model. In this project modified version of Darrieus type of wind turbine is designed... - Preetham DS, Dr. M S Shashikala

Suzlon Group announced the installation and commissioning of India's tallest Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) with a Hybrid Concrete Tubular (HCT) Tower.

Globally, the energy demand is very acute and to meet the requirement, every nation has to take energy efficient measures to stand before the world...  - Dr. Vikramaditya Dave, Dr. Sujit Kumar

The principal advantage of the induction generator is its brushless and robust construction, low cost and that it does not need a separate DC excitation or does not require grid synchronization (in case of grid connected generation)... - Dr Debashis Chatterjee, Arunava Chatterjee

The three facilities for an overall 128 MW, located in Aragon’s Teruel province, are expected to enter into operation by the end of 2019 and, once fully operational, will be able to generate 412 GWh annually.

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

Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Limited (MAHAGENCO) has the highest overall generation capacity and the highest thermal installed capacity amongst all the state power generation utilities in India... - Nitin Goel

World wind generation capacity more than quadrupled between 2000 and 2006, doubling about every three years. In terms of economic value, the wind energy sector has become one of the important players in the energy markets... - Ankur Kumar, Lata Gidwani

The degree of automation in wind turbines is increasing continuously. In addition to the actual system control, monitoring and networking play increasingly important roles. Many control suppliers that offer conventional controllers are reaching their performance limits. The solution lies in an automation system that is essentially based on a scientific approach and integrates the required measuring equipment in a standard control architecture... - Pascal Dresselhaus

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

Strong policy thrust on renewables to drive capacity addition; AT&C loss reduction to remain key for the financial health of distribution utilities - Girishkumar Kadam

Globally, installation of renewable sources for power generation is being treated with high priority. India too is not an exception. The present government is trying hard to streamline smooth financing for the renewable energy project. There are some exemplary projects that are already running with high efficiency… - P K Chatterjee

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has recently signed an MoU with a group of public sector undertakings and others to setup a joint venture company for an offshore wind power project in Gujarat... - Priti V Hiralkar, Vilas J Sawadatkar, Dr. Sachin S Bharatkar

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
