The PSU has targeted adding up to 60 Gigawatt (GW) of installed renewable power capacity by 2032. However, in the short term, the power behemoth has planned […] Read more
NTPC Partners With Ohmium For PEM Electrolyzers To Boost Green Hydrogen Production Updated On Fri, Jun 2nd, 2023 by Saurenergy NTPC Renewable Energy Limited (NREL), the green arm of NTPC, has now chosen leading Green Hydrogen company Ohmium as its Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) electrolyzer partner. The agreement will likely boost the Green Hydrogen production plan of the NTPC, India’s largest government-owned power producer. Ohmium said the agreement is valid for two years until May […] 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
NREL Wins The Battle Of Commissions With GUVNL For 350 MW Solar Projects Updated On Fri, Mar 3rd, 2023 by Saurenergy In a battle involving 350 MW of delayed solar projects in Gujarat, NTPC Renewable Energy Limited has won an early win, with the CERC going with its contention that the Central Regulator is the right forum for any dispute with the state discom, GUVNL, in this case. NREL, the wholly owned subsidiary of NTPC, had […] Read more
