The Drive Towards Solar Energy India is poised for a massive transformation in its power generation landscape. The Central Electricity Authority has projected an increase in India’s total installed power generation capacity to 777 GW by FY 2029-30. A substantial share of this, around 293 GW, is expected to come Read more…
With the exponential growth of renewable energy worldwide, the role of energy storage systems has become a pivotal one. Utility-scale batteries, the silent heroes of the renewable energy transition, are witnessing an explosive growth in capacity. According to data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), global installed capacity for these Read more…
One of the cornerstones of modern power infrastructure is the ability to handle peak power demands. For a long time, fossil fuel peaking plants, running primarily on diesel or natural gas, have been the go-to solutions for this issue. However, their environmental footprint, mainly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, Read more…
The landscape of energy production is changing rapidly, with renewable energy sources like wind and solar becoming the fastest-growing and most affordable forms of electricity generation. But one question often looms over the renewable energy industry: How do we sustain power generation when the sun doesn’t shine or the wind Read more…
In 2016, South Australia faced widespread blackouts following a series of severe storms (Baum & McGreevy, 2021). While some critics blamed renewable energy for the blackouts, a formal review indicated that extensive storm damage to infrastructure and overly sensitive power system protection mechanisms were the actual culprits (Harmsen, 2017). Instead Read more…
