The combustion of coal in thermal power plants (TPPs) generates large volumes of coal combustion residuals (CCRs), such as fly ash, bottom ash, boiler slag and flue gas desulphurisation materials. These residuals are collectively referred […]
Coal-based capacity is the largest contributor to power generation in India with a share of 71 per cent in 2020-21. The drawback of the higher share of coal-based power generation caÂpaÂcity is the emission of […]
De-sulphur oxide (SOx) solutions are imperative for coal-based power plants to comply with the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change’s environmental norms prescribed for thermal power plants (TPPs). While several technology solutions are avÂailable […]
Coal-fired thermal power plants (TPPs) account for a significant amount of the country’s greenhouÂse gas emissions, contributing to pollution and poor air quality. The combustion process in TPPs converts some of the nitrogen bound in […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) utilise significant amount of fresh water during power generation for conÂdenÂser cooling, removal of plant heat from plant auxiliaries and cycle make-up. Currently, TPPs in India account for less than 5 […]
Smart meters provide remarkable solutions to increase the operational efficiency of discoms. Due to a plethora of proven commercial benefits offered, discoms have been adopting smart meters increasingly and this has created a huge market […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are well known for releasing emissions such as particulate matter (PM) and mercury. These emissiÂons can be controÂlled and evÂen reduced by installÂing suitable emission controlling deviÂcÂes. NuÂmeÂrous technologies are being […]
Smart meter implementation has been a major focus, for discoms and policymakers in recent years, as a means of addressing the issue of commercial losses. One of the most imÂportant government programmes for the installation […]
The implementation of smart grid technology is the need of the hour to meet consumer requirements for secure, reliable and affordable supply as well as to balance the electricity grid with the increasing penetration of […]
The transmission segment in India has witnessed phenomenal growth over the years in terms of network length/ capacity as well as technology. The formation of a national grid, increase in intÂerregional capacity from near zero […]
Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) in India are growing exponentially, given that around 300,000 EVs were sold in calendar year 2021, registering a growth of 160 per cent compared to the previous year. EV sales […]
As per industry experts, there are three high-level smart grid security objectives: availability, inÂteÂgrity and confidentiality. The use of information is of utÂmost importance in a smart grid network. This is because a loss of […]
Given the increasing renewable enÂergy integration into the grid, hydropower is set to play a major role in addressing the intermittency and grid balancing requirements. Well-maintained hydropower assets offer significant benefits for a long period […]
The power sector in India faces huge financial losses due to energy wasÂtage during transmission and distribution, besides being susceptible to considerable electricity downtime arising from various faults. Besides, recent technology breakthroughs in energy storage, […]
Energy storage is an integral component of electricity generation, traÂnsmission and distribution systeÂms. Traditionally, energy storage needs have been met by physical storage of fuel for thermal power plants as well as through large-scale pumped […]
Going forward, the share of hyÂdroÂpower in the country’s energy mix is expected to increase and thereby help in tackling climate change. In addition to generating clean energy, hydroÂpower has the potential to be used […]
Pumped storage plants (PSPs) are beÂing recognised as one of the largest forms of storage available at a competitive cost. It is a mature technology that offers the benefits of simple design, ease of scalability […]
