Key Energy Storage aspects in renewable energy 2024

Image
Energy Storage is the key aspect in the renewable ecosystem, making the 24/7 availability of RE power which will help in converting the regular grid into a renewable energy grid in the coming future. Some of the different types of energy storage systems are: India has come up with a framework and policy on Energy Storage in the year 2023, for the integration into the grid with the VGF scheme similar to the kind of support given for wind WTGs from 2014 to 2017. Tata - TPDDL and installed 10 MW/ 10 MWh at the distribution segment with external funding.  There are different possibilities for the integration of energy storage from the generation, transmission, and distribution segments across the globe. In the current market, there are different chemical and non-chemical energy storage systems present with advantages and limitations. Consumers need to come up with a strategy in considering the technical, financial, and environmental specifications of the battery technology to choose a bett

Road Safety

Focus on Road Safety, choosing the right helmet is the issue? The safest design term to have the helmet metal cover more of your head. Ensure that any helmet you use bears an ISI logo. If you are on a two wheeler, front seat or pillion wear a helmet even where the law does not require it”.  This Year on May 14th 2024 , we are celebrating as “World Road Safety” Day which is one of the most important day in our lives. Public on the globe need to understand the importance of the safety that we need to follow in our regular daily life. And it is our responsibility to make the understand to our future generation with a greater effect. Many two wheelers do not wear helmets because of few prevailing myths like the following based on the research done by Prof. Dinesh Mohan who are done his 25 years of research on where a helment contributed to neck injury. “Road Safety” (check some of the myths and reality as below: Myth: Helmets are not necessary at low speeds Reality: Research show that fal

Safety Precautions for Heat Stress and Stroke

Weather safety precautions are to be taken for the manpower and public in the hot summers and the impact is gradually increasing due to the climate change issues. please find some of the key aspects of weather safety precautions that are necessary to one and all: Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids; drink about 500 ml before starting and 200 to 250 ml every 15 or 20 minutes. Avoid dehydrating liquids.  coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks can hurt more than help. Wear protective clothing.  Lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing helps protect against heat. Change clothing if it gets completely saturated.

Pace yourself.  Slow down and work at an even pace. Know your own limits and ability to work safe

Weather Forecasting

Image
Over the last 20 years, 3 day forecasts are better than, one day forecast delivered 20 years ago. “Numerical forecasting”, mathematical equations to predict weather forecasting require powerful computers and lots of observable data collected from land, sea, and air. Thousands of (more than 01 million) weather stations are located across the globe for data pooling. Instruments like ground-based wind gauges (anemometers), rain collectors, and temperature sensors are used by amateur weather watchers. Complex mathematical models to predict, new based on incoming data, weather conditions might change over time. Large-scale phenomena, each are governed by multiple factors considering external and internal factors of the solar system, observing sun temperature and other radiations, earth temperature, pressure difference, will form clouds and winds, change in phase of ice-water-gas which will affect the flow of energy. The National Centres for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), objective is

So a large charging infrastructure network and facility can be developed which can provide easy ac

25 Differences between Private Sector and Government sector Managers

It’s become a saying that government would be better if it were only run by private-sector managers using standard business practices. Now after compiling the activities of both government and private sector managers and with the insight of the Department of Energy we are able to point out 25 different reasons why government management and business management are not the same.   The size, dollar value, and complexity of many government programs exceed that in the private sector. The government has fewer measures of progress or success than the private sector, although that is changing as a result of the Government Performance Reform Act requirements. Spending on a program is not equivalent to progress. The private sector has profit as a clear-cut measure. Most individuals join private sector organizations with the expectation and hope that they will have an opportunity either to earn Significant amounts of money or to be train
