Solar-plus-storage technology is set for a promising future in India because of rapidly rising electricity demand, ambitious solar targets, higher solar penetration, and falling prices of solar and storage technologies in the nation.
India is planning to install 450 GW of renewable energy (RE) generation capacity by 2030.
India’s clean energy transition is largely driven by the ambitious target of installing 450 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy (RE) by 2030.
Existing pumped-hydro-energy storage (PHES) plants in India are inadequately utilised and hence have low economic benefits.
India has set some ambitious renewable energy (RE) targets for itself — 175 GW by 2022 and 450 GW by 2030.
India plans to install 450 gigawatt (GW) of renewable energy (RE) generation capacity by 2030.
A differential pricing mechanism that calculates different pumping and generation prices for pumped-hydro energy storage (PHES) should be employed for its growth in India, recommends a recent study by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP).
At the COP 26 UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, the Government of India revised its non-fossil energy targets for 2030 from 450 GW to 500 GW.
India is now the eighth-largest lithium reserve country thanks to discovery in Jammu & Kashmir.
In early September, India's peak daytime electricity demand stood at 241 GW, a record high.
India's commitment to the EV30@30 initiative that targets at least30% of vehicle sales to be electric by 2030 translates into adding24 million two-wheelers, 2.
The progress towards India’s ambitious net-zero goals requires that all states contribute to it.
This project is supported by a grant given by the Good Energies Foundation, Switzerland.
Sodium intercalation batteries might prove to be a viable alternative of lithium ion batteries, which is both expensive and in short supply due to unavailability of lithium.
A double layer δ-NH4V4O10, due to its high energy storage capacity and excellent rate capability, is a very promising cathode material for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries for large-scale renewable energy storage in transportation and smart grids.
