A gradual shift from coal to Renewable sources have propped up various problems for India’s Power Grid such as DC to AC conversion, Load handling, Transmission loss rate etc. For absorbing a greater percentage of variable renewable energy (VRE), i.e. solar and wind, the grid needs to operate differently. India’sContinue Reading
New research from America’s national labs shows that smaller scale “run-of-river” hydropower (ROR) can provide just as much baseload stability as reservoir-based hydropower plants while being highly responsive to real-time grid and market changes. Hydropower plants produced roughly seven percent of the electricity in the United States in 2017. OutContinue Reading
Renewable sources account for around 34 per cent of Rajasthan’s total installed power generation capacity of 21.6 Gw. The state is planning to increase solar and wind generation capacity to 14.3 Gw by 2022 which requires remote monitoring and grid stability. GE T&D India Ltd, part of GE’s grid solutionsContinue Reading
The integration of regional grids, and thereby establishment of National Grid, was conceptualised in early nineties. The integration of regional grids which began with asynchronous HVDC back-to-back inter-regional links facilitating limited exchange of regulated power was subsequently graduated to high capacity synchronous links between the regions. By the end ofContinue Reading
There are two basic types of energy storage – front of the meter, commonly known as grid-scale storage, and behind the meter, in which individual property owners and businesses make use of storage options installed on their own premises to better manage onsite solar systems and take advantage of lowerContinue Reading
With an average solar insolation of 4-7 kwh/m and 300 sunny days in a year, India’s potential for harnessing solar power is immense. Government of India wants a growing share of the country’s electricity generation to come from renewable energy. India plans to install 40 GW of PV Rooftop SolarContinue Reading
A significant decline in the cost of installing solar and wind power over the last decade should ensure sustained renewables growth in all major markets, with much less reliance on government incentives, Fitch Ratings says. According to the ratings agency, global power generation from renewable sources has almost quadrupled inContinue Reading
Policy intervention is needed for renewable energy storage capacity in all grid connected renewable projects to tackle the potential problem of limited capability of the grid, a solar energy expert said here today. “Only 15-20 per cent of the grid capacity can be pushed with renewable. The present grid isContinue Reading
