The function of thermal power plants (TPPs) is rapidly evolving due to changes in the fuel mix, driven by the increasing prevalence of intermittent renewable energy sources. While TPPs have traditionally served as the primary […]
Ensuring effective emission control in coal-based thermal power plants (TPPs) is essential to facilitate a seamless energy transition in India. Despite the rapid growth of renewable energy capacity, coal-based plants are expected to play a […]
The solar and wind energy industries in India are witnessing a significant shift towards automation and digitalisation, particularly in operations and maintenance (O&M) practices. This transition is expected to optimise performance, reduce manpower costs and […]
Efficient operations and maintenance (O&M) of hydropower plants are crucial for ensuring their continued contribution to India’s energy security and environmental sustainability. O&M practices of plants should ensure reduced downtime of individual generating units and […]
The diesel engine and generator set (genset) industry has played a pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted power supply across various sectors in India. From industrial operations to rural electrification, diesel gensets have been a reliable […]
Diesel generators (DGs) are used across industries as a viable alternative to grid power for supporting operational needs. In recent years, there have been significant technological advancements in DG sets, aimed at minimising noise, controlling […]
The increasing demand for electricity and frequent power outages have encouraged commercial and industrial entities to secure backup power sources. Projections indicate that India’s electricity consumption will surge by 1,200 million tonnes of oil equivalent […]
The focus of policy reforms in the power distribution sector is on ensuring the financial viability and sustainability of distribution utilities. The flagship Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) is actively progressing, with a focus on […]
The demand for upgraded assets to ensure safety, reliable power supply and seamless business operations, is paramount. High performance conductors such as high temperature low sag (HTLS), and cables such as cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and […]
In recent years, discoms have prioritised the modernisation of metering infrastructure through the widespread adoption of smart meters. This is aimed at enhancing the operational and financial performance of discoms. Smart meters offer several advantages, […]
The power sector is witnessing a growing number of distributed energy resources (DERs), which are changing the way energy is stored and produced. DER technologies, such as rooftop solar, battery energy storage systems (BESSs), microgrids […]
Thermal power plants (TPPs) are responsible for large volumes of emissions, making the reduction of pollutants such as SOx, NOx and particulate matter a top priority for power plant operators. Overall compliance with the emission […]
In the ever-evolving area of power generation, attention must be given to mitigating the adverse effects of nitrogen oxides (NOx). NOx emissions, stemming from combustion processes within power plant boilers, present a substantial and pressing […]
Particulate matter (PM) emission from thermal power plants (TPPs) is a key contributor to air pollution. Industry estimates suggest that coal-based TPPs contribute 60 per cent of the total PM emitted. These emissions need to […]
The Indian data centre market is recording double-digit growth, with an influx of private sector investment. The industry gained momentum after the Covid-19 pandemic, driven by a host of factors such as rapid digital transformation, […]
Data centres are the backbone of the digital age, powering everything from social media and e-commerce to cloud computing and mobile communications. However, traditional data centres consume an enormous amount of power and are major […]
The data centre industry is witnessing immense growth, buoyed by the increasing need for storage and computing capabilities, and the rising adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, big data analytics and internet […]
The Indian power sector is witnessing an uptick in the adoption of advanced tower and structure technologies for expanding the network with minimum right of way (RoW), greater structural integrity, reduced maintenance costs, improved energy […]
