In the race to achieve India’s National Solar Mission (NSM) targets, one important solar technology is slowly disappearing.
Bengaluru's history of multiple (and often competing) transport agencies is a major reason for such unsustainable projects being proposed and implemented.
CSTEP has observed a lack of awareness amongst employees about AT&C losses, a lack of accountability, inadequate manpower and resources, poor operation and maintenance of the infrastructure, etc.
The electricity distribution sector in India is considered to be the most important link in the entire power sector value chain.
By mobilising community platforms to identify sanitation issues and empowering them to access facilities through the municipality, the Intersectionality-Informed Gender Integration in Sanitation project is enabling sanitation for all in three towns of AP (Anantapur, Kovvur, Narsapur).
India should clearly articulate its technology and financial requirements to move along a lower carbon intensive trajectory.
The urgent power system needs in India are not necessarily the same as those in advanced industralised countries.
Adoption of energy efficient measures would result in reduced demand for energy and thus lower emissions.
The J–V equation of a solar cell is implicit and requires iterative calculation to determine the fill factor and the maximum power point.
Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent the J–V characteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent as j = (1 − vm)/(1 + αv), here the normalized voltage, v and normalized current density j can be represented as v = V/Voc and j = J/Jsc respectively, whereVoc is the open circuit voltage and Jsc is the short circuit current density.
This paper aims to inform the tariff setting process for wind resource in Karnataka, so that investments in wind infrastructure can be incentivized taking into consideration resource variations.
There are no easy answers to India's quest for energy security with environmental sustainability.
