Sustainability Analysis and Energy Footprint-Based Design in the Product Lifecycle- Publications

In this paper, we study the concept of energy efficiency and specific energy consumption (SEC) of manufacturing processes.

Visual Communication in Think Tanks- Publications

In think tanks, visual communication happens at multiple levels and in various forms, for example, process diagrams, graphs, progress reports, and infographics.

Power Generation Tariff Design- Publications

CSTEP launched the Empower series of blog articles to simplify the power sector for non-technical readers.

Design Thinking: Meaning and Application- Publications

To a layperson, the concept of 'design' is mostly limited to the visual and functional aspects of a product, with the former often taking precedence over the latter.

Mini-grids- Projects

Energy access is a well-proven determinant in several development and transformative sectors, such as education, primary health, gender empowerment, and quality of life.

Materials & Engineering: Propelling Innovation- Publications

Materials and engineering are soulmates.

Methodology for sizing the solar field for parabolic trough technology with thermal storage and hydribization- Publications

A detailed methodology to design the size of solar field for a parabolic trough plant is not explicitly available in open literature, particularly if thermal storage and hybridization are also considered, as most of the papers present a gross overview.

Analytical expression of the physical parameters of an illuminated solar cell using explicit J-V model- Publications

Analytical expression of the physical parameters of an illuminataed solar cell using explicit J-V model.

Creating Inclusive Cities: A Review of Indicators for Measuring Sustainability for Urban Infrastructure in India- Publications

Measuring progress towards the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) will substantially depend on how countries are performing in the implementation of targets under the goals.

Disentangling the complexity of India's agricultural sector- Publications

Agricultural policies in India directly impact the livelihoods of close to two thirds of India’s population.

The flip side of metcalfe's law: multiple and growing costs of network exclusion- Publications

The study of networks has grown recently, but most existing models fail to capture the costs or loss of value of exclusion from the network.

Machine Level Energy Efficiency Analysis in Discrete Manufacturing for a Sustainable Energy Infrastructure- Publications

Sustainable economic development necessitates a careful design of the energy infrastructure.

Analytical derivation of equivalent functional form of explicit J–V model of an illuminated solar cell from physics based implicit model- Publications

Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent theJ–Vcharacteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent asj=(1−vm)/(1+αv), here the normalized voltage,vand normalized current densityjcan be represented asv=V/Vocandj=J/Jscrespectively, whereVocis the open circuit voltage andJscis the short circuit current density.

Implementation of SAPCC: A Green Growth Approach- Publications

There are continuing concerns over economic and environmental developments in many countries - some of these have intensified due to prolonged global energy, food and financial crises.

Estimation of Hourly Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) for 22 Stations in India (Revised) - Publications

Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants require Direct Normal Solar Irradiance (DNI) data for both design and operation.

A study of Energy Efficiency in the Indian Cement Industry- Publications

Under National Mission on Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE), Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) is one of the flagship programmes launched by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), Ministry of Power and Government of India to enhance the cost effectiveness of the improvements in Energy Efficiency (EE) in energy-intensive large industries (known as Designated Consumers or DCs).
