RENEWCONNECT - All about renewables & power sector

  Agencies handling Nuclear in India are as follows: 1. Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) The DAE is the umbrella that oversees all nuclear technology matters in India.  This includes research and development organisations, public sector undertakings, industrial facilities, grant-in-aid organisations and service organisations (see below), as well as nuclear power plants. The DAE was set up in the year 1954 under the direct charge of the Prime Minister. 2. Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) The Atomic Energy Commission, or AEC, was established in 1958. It is responsible for implementing government policy in all matters concerning atomic energy, as well as creating policy and preparing annual budgets for the DAE.  The AEC has been awarded the full powers of the Government of India to carry out the work of the DAE, with the single exception of its budget, which must be approved by Parliament.  Once its budget is passed, the AEC is not required to consul...

Renewable energy, also known as non-conventional energy , refers to energy that comes from natural resources that are continually replenished and sustainable over time. These resources are either infinite or naturally replenished on a human timescale. Key renewable energy sources include: Solar energy : Energy harnessed from the sun through photovoltaic cells or solar thermal technology. Wind energy : Energy captured from wind using turbines to generate electricity. Biomass : Organic materials such as agricultural waste, wood, and other plant matter that can be converted into energy. Small-hydro : Small-scale hydroelectric power generation systems utilizing the flow of water. Biogas : A renewable source created from the decomposition of organic waste. Energy storage systems : Technologies that store energy for later use, such as batteries and flywheel systems. Pumped hydro storage : A large-scale energy storage method using water reservoirs to store potential energy. Nuclear energy : T...
