ELECRAMA, the flagship industry event organised by the Indian Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association (IEEMA), will be held on February 18-22, 2023, at Greater Noida. The event, themed “ReImagine Energy – For Sustainable Future”, will […]
India aims to develop 500 GW of installed renewable energy by 2030 with 420 GW of solar- and wind-based power, namely variable renewable energy (VRE). VRE-based capacity is an intermittent source of power; therefore, for […]
In recent years, the power distribution segment has witnessed an upsurge in the deployment of smart metering solutions, smart grid infrastructure and digital solutions to improve operational and financial performance. The Ministry of Power’s Revamped […]
The Indian transmission segment is growing at a fast pace to support the country’s decarbonisation goals and connect 500 GW of clean energy (non-fossil fuel based) to the grid. Besides growth in the physical network, […]
Network strengthening and expansion are among the top priorities for transmission and distribution (T&D) utilities in the country to provide quality and reliable power supply. Utilities are increasingly adopting state-of-the-art technologies and digital solutions to […]
The increased injection of renewables causes voltage fluctuations in the grid, causing harmonics, flicker phenomena, unbalanced loads and power oscillation, thus impacting power quality and power transfer capability. Therefore, reactive power management is crucial to […]
Digital solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and internet of things (IoT) are gaining traction to manage the networks, restore outages more quickly and manage distributed energy generating sources in the most […]
The renovation and modernisation (R&M) and life extension (LE) of a TPP is a cost-effective way of generating additional power from the existing units at a lower cost and in less time. The R&M of […]
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change notified the new emission norms for air and water consumption in December 2015. For thermal power plants (TPPs), these norms imply significant investments in emission reduction technologies […]
Technological advancements and innovations are transforming the way in which the electricity network and discom grids are managed. This is being driven mainly by the rapid expansion of decentralised generation and acceleration in the adoption […]
The power sector in India has undergone a sea change. The integration of regional grids into a single national grid in addition to simultaneously providing near-universal electricity access has helped the sector achieve surplus power. […]
Coal-based power generation accounts for over 67 per cent of the overall power generation in the country. Therefore, limiting emissions from coal-based power generation is a huge challenge and a number of steps are being taken […]
The Indian boiler, turbine and generator (BTG) industry has been grappling with the challenges of under-utilisation of manufacturing capacity and a shrinking order pipeline from thermal power plants (TPPs) in view of the shifting focus of […]
The country’s transmission segment is expected to grow considerably in the coming years to facilitate the integration of a large quantum of renewable energy. India has envisaged increasing its non-fossil fuel-based installed electricity generation capacity […]
The rapid increase in renewable energy generation and its integration, ageing infrastructure and synchronisation of regional grids with the national grid have put enormous pressure on system operators to maintain grid stability and reliability. Further, […]
The Electricity Act, 2003 highlights the basic need of consumers for continuous, reliable and quality supply by the distribution utilities. With the accelerated growth of renewable energy such as solar and wind; and the rise […]
With power supply shortages becoming a thing of the past, the government is now focusing on providing quality power to consumers. Considerable generation capacity addition and transmission and distribution (T&D) network expansion over the last […]
Besides sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), thermal power plants (TPPs) also emit particulate matter (PM) and mercury. These emissions can be reduced by installing suitable emission controlling devices. Various technologies such as electrostatic […]
Wet flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) systems have been the most popular solution for SOX and NOX emission control, and have been adopted by many thermal power plants (TPPs). More than 90 per cent of TPPs […]
