Forest fires, wild animal attacks and remoteness were some of the factors that prevented the establishment of renewable energy projects here. The tribal population, which dominates the hamlet, had been extremely possessive of its culture […] Read more
The Top 5: Reasons Why Public Transport Offers the Fastest Decarbonisation Solution for Transportation Updated On Mon, Apr 24th, 2023 by Saurenergy Owing to the increasing private vehicle fleet, Indian cities are suffering from the twin problems of road congestion and emissions. While the story of vehicular emissions is well known, the situation isn’t good in terms of traffic congestion either. For instance, the optimal travel time for a 10 km trip is around 16 and a […] Read more
Estimating Subhourly Clipping Losses of Inverter and Plant From Performance Ratio Trends Updated On Thu, Apr 20th, 2023 by Saurenergy ABSTRACT Most photovoltaic system production simulations are conventionally run using hourly weather datasets of satellite. Hourly simulations are sufficiently accurate to predict the majority of long-term system behaviour but cannot resolve high-frequency effects like inverter clipping caused by short-duration irradiance variability. Direct modelling of this sub hourly clipping error is only possible for the few […] Read more

Crash in Lithium Prices: A Boon for EV Buyers or Unsustainable Trend? Updated On Tue, Apr 4th, 2023 by Saurenergy Prices of the so-called ‘White Gold’ has been declining for the past few months. Lithium is a common ingredient in almost all electric-car batteries we use today. The drop in commodity prices has made it easier for carmakers to cut prices for electric vehicles. For instance, last month, Tesla lowered the prices of its two […] Read more
China’s New Emission Standards Could Squeeze Auto Makers Further In Largest Auto Market Updated On Mon, Apr 3rd, 2023 by Saurenergy The electric vehicle (EV) industry has disrupted the Chinese auto market, the world’s largest today, for good. China has been careful to ensure that domestic firms lead the EV boom, even while allowing Tesla and other incumbents to have a play in the Chinese market too.
