In the recent bid of SECI 1070 MW, Saudi firm Aljoemaih energy and Warter Company and Green Infra Wind energy Ltd have been the winners with the historic low tariff of Rs. 2/kWh followed by NTPC bagging 600 MW capacity @ Rs. 2.01/kWh. These projects are to be implemented in Read more…
Solar PV Roof Mounting Structure Aluminum frames will be avoided for installations in coastal Solar Panels Plants installed in high dust geographies like Rajasthan and Gujrat must have the solar panels tested with relevant dust standards (Applicable standard would be IEC 60068-2-68). Fuse: Cables: The fuse Read more…
Quality certification and standards for grid-connected rooftop solar PV systems are essential for the successful mass-scale implementation (in-order to achieve 40 GW of rooftop solar target under ‘National Solar Mission’ programme) of this technology. It is also imperative to put in place an efficient and rigorous monitoring mechanism, adherence to Read more…
In case of third party ownership model for solar + energy storage systems, the solar + energy storage system is owned, operated, and maintained by a third-party, which provides specific solar + energy storage services according to a contractual arrangement/PPA. This process is very similar to power purchase agreements signed Read more…
Battery technologies for energy storage devices can be differentiated on the basis of energy density, charge and discharge (round trip) efficiency, life span, and eco-friendliness of the devices. Energy density is defined as the amount of energy that can be stored in a single system per unit volume or per Read more…
ESS components are grouped according to function into battery components, components required for reliable system operation, and grid connection components. The battery system consists of the battery pack, which connects multiple cells to appropriate voltage and capacity; the battery management system (BMS); and the battery thermal management system (B-TMS). The Read more…
Net metering is the mechanism that allows distribution companies monitor the user’s energy production and consumption. This mechanism also allows consumers who generate some or all of their own electricity to use that electricity anytime, instead of when it is generated. For an instance, consider a prosumer is generating and Read more…

There are standards everywhere. Most of the time we don’t even notice them. We may hear talking about a “standard bed”, a “standard size photograph” or “standard time”, but that’s about it. There are certain standards set by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for all Read more…
