Indian researchers have developed a Sudoku-based technique to reduce power losses in PV systems operating under partial shading. They claim the method increases energy efficiency and revenue generation more than conventional reconfiguration techniques.

NTPC Group companies have issued tenders for the supply of PV modules for a total of 2.5 GW of solar power projects in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Tata Power’s net profit from renewables business soared 95% YoY to INR 531 crore. Segment-wise, INR 226 crore came from renewable energy generation, INR 198 crore from solar EPC, INR 100 crore from solar manufacturing, and INR 7 crore from other income.

An international research team has tested a floating PV system with a “soft-connected” configuration under offshore conditions, using six modular pontoons linked by elastic bar elements to simulate mooring lines and connection ropes.

Independent power producers have captured a significant share of India’s clean energy capital, with projects often backed by substantial financing from institutions like the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA). Additionally, these have the ability to raise money in a cautious global market because of their capacity to lock up bankable power purchase agreements (PPAs), which provides financial predictability.

integrating variable renewable energy sources into conventional power systems requires a delicate balance of technology, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance. While AI and ML have become indispensable tools in the modern energy toolkit, they are most effective when paired with on-ground human insight and proactive asset management.

Given that global steel demand is projected to grow by 32% by 2050, largely driven by infrastructure expansion and industrial development, the need to decouple steel production from carbon emissions is both urgent and complex. Here is where hydrogen, particularly green hydrogen, emerges as a powerful catalyst for change.

Gorakhpur Haryana Anu Vidyut Pariyojana (GHAVP), a unit of Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd (NPCIL), has successfully commissioned a 1.7 MWp grid-connected solar power plant at its nuclear facility in Haryana. This marks the second solar installation at the site.

Researchers have designed a new switched-capacitor-based multilevel inverter topology with nine switches. They have tested it in simulations and in hardware-in-the-loop tests. Efficiency reached up to 96.5%.

Avaada Group has signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Bihar to invest INR 5,000 crore for developing 1 GW of solar and battery energy storage projects in Bihar.
