This is an idea that most metro rail systems in the country are quickly adopting. A large amount of electricity is needed to power the extensive metro rail networks in various cities in India. Not only do these trains require a continuous supply of power, but also stations, depots, and service areas all require an …
The energy market in the country is currently going through a transition from conventional systems to smart systems. Given the addition of large volumes of renewable energy, grid management has become a bit of a headache. Add to this, the deployment of decentralised energy resources and the emergence of prosumers, and the management of energy …

Solar power in the US is now more affordable and accessible than ever before. Since 2008, US installations have grown 35-fold to an estimated 62.5 GW. This capacity is equivalent to the power consumed by 12 million average American homes. Since 2014, the cost of PV panels has dropped nearly 50% and the cost of …
Biogas is produced naturally through a process of anaerobic decomposition from waste sources such as agricultural residue, sewage treatment plant waste, sugarcane press mud, etc. This waste is collected and processed to produce a raw gas, which is then converted to electricity. After further mechanical, chemical and purification processes, the gas is compressed and this …
India has one of the most ambitious targets of renewable energy deployment globally. This has made renewable power extremely competitive and electricity storage is expected to play a huge role in enabling the next phase of energy transition. Not only will storage promote renewable energy production, but it will also enable increased decarbonisation in key …
The solar inverter is a major component in the solar system. It not only converts the DC energy from the solar panels to AC power, but it must also be intelligent, smart-grid compliant, and offer communication and monitoring features, like Wi-Fi, cellular, and power-line communication. Like solar panels, inverters must also comply with a perplexing …

The carbon footprint of a product or service is the quantity of CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions that it releases into the atmosphere over its entire life cycle. Carbon footprints are usually calculated using a method known as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and are measured in gCO2eq/kWh. These CO2 emissions can either be direct-arising …
The biggest factor behind the push towards solar power, especially in developing countries like India and China, is the fact that solar power is now much cheaper as compared to thermal power. Over the last 10 years, the cost of a solar system has fallen by more than 80%. This has largely been driven by …
The hydropower industry in India is the 7th largest producer of hydroelectric power in the world. Currently, the public sector accounts for 92.5% of India’s hydroelectric power production, but private sector investments are severely lagging. This lag has prompted government officials to finally give hydropower some policy attention. The segment has faced various challenges such …
Offshore wind power or offshore wind energy is the use of wind farms constructed in bodies of water, usually the ocean on the continental shelf (an area of seabed where the sea is comparatively shallow), to harvest wind energy to generate electricity. Offshore wind has emerged as one of the most rapidly developing sources of …
