CSTEP's Solar Techno-Economic Model for Photovoltaics (CSTEM PV): Solar and Financial Models
- This report aims to serve as a reference document for interested stakeholders who wish to obtain an in-depth understanding of the CSTEM PV tool.
The dark side of the sun: Clean energy's wasteful impact
This article looks at the current policy framework on e-waste as well as policy clarity and interventions needed in order to manage impending photovoltaic (PV) waste.
Energy and Emissions Implications for a Desired Quality of Life in India Part 2: Demand Estimation
This project aims to understand the synergies and trade-offs involved in facing the unenviable challenge of balancing their developmental goals and climate targets.
App-Based Shared Mobility: Policy Imperatives
Policy imperatives to promote app-based shared mobility (ASM) for sustainable urban mobility
Feeder-Wise Revenue Analysis and Monitoring of Energy Sales (FRAMES)
The Indian power-distribution sector has been plagued with inherent issues of high aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses and a wide gap between the cost incurred and revenue realised. Most distribution companies (DISCOMs) continue to struggle with these issues even after the implementation of Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana (UDAY), launched for the revival of the distribution sector. This study puts forth a framework developed with the intention to ameliorate the position of Indian DISCOMS.
Comprehensive Clean Air Action Plan for the City of Patna
The year-long study identified source-specific control measures (CMs) and assessed their technological and economic feasibility for implementation. The study included the development of an emission inventory for Patna and several focused group discussions with stakeholders to understand the pollution landscape.
Thorium-Utilisation Pathways for India
- For India, thorium-based nuclear power has been the endgame, and will form the final phase of the three-stage Indian nuclear programme for energy security developed by Dr Homi J. Bhabha in the 1950s. This report assesses strategies for thorium adoption in the Indian nuclear power sector.
Rectangular Spiral Inspired Approach for Estimating Area of Solar Photovoltaic Plants in India
This work proposes a method which can provide a rational area estimate of a PV plant factoring sizing considerations from electrical, maintenance, and shading aspects.
