Overview of the Solar Energy sector in India

India has a vast supply of green energy resources, and has a significant program for deploying these resources. An exclusive ministry for renewable energy called Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources later renamed as Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNES) has also been set up.

According to the recent report on Renewable Energy in India from …

… in the Gulf, flooding in Pakistan, an earthquake in Haiti and a great deal of political and economic unrest around the world. At times, the environment seemed to take center stage, while at others, other priorities seemed to steal the limelight. Books are generally a relatively slow medium compared to 24-7 TV and Internet coverage, although this year has already seen several tomes on the BP disaster.

Still, we’re taking this opportunity to reflect back on some of the environmental books that came out in 2010 and that were authored by staff, contributors and friends of The Daily Green. As it turns out, our relatively small circle is relatively prolific, and these recent works …

The two-year programme consists of 120 ECTS credit points, 24 of which are reserved for electives. There are two kinds: compulsory and free. Compulsory electives are those modules at programme start that ensure all students achieve the same level of starting knowledge. Free elective courses are reserved to deepen knowledge on a student s graduation theme. Students will discuss electives with their graduation project supervisor.

First year

During the first year, much of the curriculum consists of lecture courses introducing key …

… a student in MIT, it is great to have the exposure to the Cambridge’s cutting edge clean energy entrepreneurial ecosystem, which I could hardly have this kind of world class exposure in Taiwan, my home country.

In the last week’s MIT energy showcase, I found a super cool wind technology company called FloDesign Wind Turbine. The company was backed by Kleiner Perkins VC (KPCB) in both series A and B round, and the other investors including Goldman Sachs, Technology Partners, and VantagePoint VC. Also, it is worth to know that FloDesign was the winner in the MIT Clean Energy Entrepreneurship Prize Compeition with 200K in 2008.

Basicly, FloDesign has …

Laboratory prototype BDFG

The world’s first commercial Brushless Doubly-Fed Generator (BDFG) is to be installed on a 20kW turbine at or close to the University of Cambridge Engineering Department’s Electrical Engineering Division Building on the West Cambridge site by early 2008. This will help the University meet its obligations under new legislation, which requires a new building to obtain ten percent of …

Wind Prospect will make Second Wind’s Triton sodar system available sodarthrough rental contracts. The rental option enables developers to collect wind data using the wind industry’s market-leading remote sensing technology under flexible financing terms. Most of the world’s leading wind developers already use Triton to measure wind resources across the full swept area of the turbine’s rotor, reducing uncertainty in hub …

… grade wind turbines have become so technologically advanced that they have improved the cost of energy of wind enough to become more mainstream than ever before and compete with todays conventional energy sources. We have decided to conduct an investigation of the patent landscape to see what technological trends have emerged thus far and what we might be able to infer for the future direction of wind turbine technology. At this time, the assessment was limited to the most prevalent sector of wind turbine technology utility grade, horizontal axis wind turbines.

The search was conducted utilizing a comprehensive approach, as well as thorough reading and examination of results. …

… Western states, southwest Wyoming’s wind power is vast but mostly undeveloped. That will change soon, Sweetwater County officials believe.

Wind developers in the region are looking at the possible construction of 500 or more wind turbines over the next decade as energy companies explore potential wind farm sites in the county.

Federal officials say they currently have six applications for wind energy development projects in the county planned and under study in the Bureau of Land Management’s Rock Springs Field Office.

The proposed project sites range from Miller and Aspen Mountains in southern Sweetwater County to scenic White Mountain between …

… so this is a meta-survey.

These are all-in costs: they include (almost) everything – construction, operation, maintenance, fuel, decommissioning – amortized over the lifespans of the plant. There are some inconsistencies: for instance, the EIA figures also add transmission costs (< 1 c/kWh), and different assumptions are used everywhere - different discount rates, etc. Also, there are regional cost differences beyond those which can be corrected by using PPP conversions. So comparing absolute values across studies is probably not meaningful.

The studies come from across time and space. Right now it has what I think is the most sensible conversions: …

The simplest green energy definition would be energy produced from energy sources that are environmentally more friendly (or “greener”) compared to fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Green energy therefore includes all renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels, hydropower), and by definition should also include nuclear energy though there are many environmentalists who oppose the idea of talking about nuclear energy as the green energy because of the nuclear waste issue, and its harmful environmental effects.

Green energy term was coined to separate highly polluting …
