What is P50, P52 & P90 ?

By -
P52, P53 and P90 are terms often used in the renewable energy sector, particularly in the context of wind or solar energy production analysis. These refer to statistical probability levels used in energy yield assessments to estimate the expected production of renewable projects over a certain time frame. P50 : Represents the median or "best estimate" production scenario. It means there is a 50% chance that the actual energy production will be higher or lower than this value. It is the expected average production in a typical year. P52 or P53 : These are uncommon notations, but they might represent slight variations from the median estimate, with a slightly higher probability of occurrence than P50. P90 : This represents a conservative estimate, meaning there's a 90% chance that the actual production will be equal to or exceed this value, making it suitable for financial risk assessments. In summary, P-levels like P50, P52, or P90 provide different confidence levels for ...

Adoption to module recycling, efficiency, incentives in Solar

By -
Solar panel recycling, efficiency improvements, and financial incentives for solar energy adoption : With the increase in the solar capacity addition at the global level, the increase in silicon and e-waste is increasing gradually. Accordingly, certain actions to be taken in context to module recycling, and adopting to improvement of module efficiency and financial incentives for recycling firms:  1. Solar Panel Recycling & Sustainability Solar panels have a lifespan of 25–30 years , and recycling is crucial to minimize environmental impact. Modules in Solar generating companies fail due to different senarios like hotspots in solar cells, physical damage, junction box failures, etc. Challenges of Solar Panel Waste By 2050, 78 million tons of solar panel waste could accumulate worldwide. Current recycling rates are low due to a lack of efficient processes. Solar Panel Recycling Process Solar panels contain silicon, aluminum, glass, silver, and copper , which can be recovered th...

Is Solar Energy a 100% Renewable Energy Source for Power Generation?

By -
Solar energy is a renewable energy source that harnesses sunlight to generate electricity. It is considered renewable because the sun provides an abundant and continuous source of energy that is not depleted by usage. How Solar Energy is Converted into Electricity: Photovoltaic (PV) Conversion : Solar panels contain photovoltaic cells, primarily made of silicon. When sunlight strikes these cells, it excites electrons, generating an electric current through the photovoltaic effect. Solar Thermal Power : In concentrated solar power (CSP) plants, mirrors focus sunlight onto a receiver. The heat energy is used to produce steam, which drives a turbine connected to an electricity generator. Manufacturing Process of Solar Panels: Silicon, derived from silica (SiO₂), is purified and melted to form ingots. These ingots are sliced into thin wafers using diamond wire saws. Wafers are processed into photovoltaic cells and assembled into solar panels. Is Solar Energy 100% Renewable? Yes , solar en...

Calculating the carbon footprint of a country

By -
The carbon footprint of a country represents the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily measured in carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e), produced directly and indirectly due to human activities. It includes emissions from energy production, transportation, industry, agriculture, and waste. Step-by-Step Process for Carbon Footprint Calculation Step 1: Define the Boundaries and Scope Before beginning the calculation, it is essential to define what will be included in the study. The carbon footprint is categorized into three scopes as per the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol): Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Emissions from sources that are directly owned or controlled by the country, including fossil fuel combustion in power plants, industries, and transportation. Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): Emissions from purchased electricity, heat, or steam. Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Emissions from activities outside direct control, such as emissions from imported goods, internat...

Present scenario of Geo Thermal Potential in INDIA as on 2020

By -
Image
The Lack of Proper Coal Allocation, Ineffective Reforms in the Renewable sector mainly solar, hydro and air is taking a huge toll on Indian power need, hence new sources of energy must be explored and is the need of the hour to fuel India’s need of clean energy. Geothermal energy shows promise for India’s future energy needs if developed properly, as it is an enormous, underused heat and power resource that emits little or no greenhouse gases, and is homegrown hence making us less dependent on foreign oil. Geothermal resources range from shallow ground to hot water and rock several miles below the Earth’s surface. A Mile deep well can be drilled into the underground reservoirs to tap steam and very hot water that can be brought to the surface for use in a variety of applications. Geothermal energy can be used very effectively in both on- and off-grid developments, and is especially useful in rural electrification schemes. Geothermal power plants operated in at least 24 countries in...

Concept on Self-sustainable 2W Vehicle

By -
Renewconnect is working on the self-sustainable methods in developing a zero emission vehicle with the following methods and technologies. We are coming up with swapping of the technologies that can be integrated into the vehicle based on the fuel or the resource availability.  All the advancements of the vehicle will be updated.  Developing a self-sustainable two-wheeler is challenging but feasible with a combination of renewable energy, energy storage, and efficiency-enhancing technologies. Here are some key strategies for building a self-sustaining two-wheeler: 1. Electric Powertrain with Regenerative Braking Electric Motor: Use a high-efficiency electric motor to reduce energy consumption. Brushless DC motors (BLDC) are commonly preferred due to their efficiency and longevity. Regenerative Braking: Incorporate regenerative braking to recapture energy during braking, which can recharge the battery and extend the vehicle's range. 2. Renewable Energy Integration Solar Panel...
