Is Wind Energy an Underutilised Resource in India?

India’s renewable energy story is often told through the rapid rise of solar power. Gigawatts of capacity have been added year after year, tariffs have fallen sharply, and solar has become the default choice for new clean energy projects. Yet, quietly and somewhat in the background, wind energy has ...

Understanding Solar Inverters: More Than Just DC to AC Conversion

Solar inverters are often thought of as simple devices that convert the DC electricity generated by solar panels into AC power that can be used by appliances or exported to the grid. In reality, modern solar inverters are far more sophisticated. They play a critical role in the performance, safety, ...

Microgrids: Powering the Transition to Net Zero

Microgrids are localised energy systems designed to supply power to a defined area such as an industrial estate, hospital, campus, or community. They can operate either in conjunction with the main grid or independently in island mode. A typical microgrid comprises Distributed Energy Resources (DERs...

The Current Situation and Future of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) in India

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are critically important and are becoming even more central to modern power systems as renewable energy adoption increases.

The key advantages of BESS include:

1. Grid stability and mitigation of supply intermittency

BESS enhances grid stability by balancing sup...

Grid Stability: An Outsized Market Opportunity

16.12.25 10:21 AM - By Kartikeya Rana - Comment(s)

India’s electricity grid is under growing strain due to the rapid addition of grid-connected renewable energy, rising temperatures, ageing infrastructure, and shifting demographics and consumption patterns. These pressures have led to more frequent power outages and intermittent power generation acr...
