Role of Floating solar energy in building nation in power Sector.

Floating solar Technology, innovations 
    Floating solar technology involves installing solar panels on a floating structure on water bodies like reservoirs or lakes, allowing for efficient energy generation without taking up land. 
      This method utilizes the cooling effect of water, enhancing panel efficiency, and reduces water evaporation, offering a sustainable approach to renewable energy. 
The Key aspects of floating solar technology are as under.
   1) Efficient Land Use:-
      Floating solar farms utilize water surfaces, maximizing land use and making them ideal for areas where land is scarce or expensive. 
2) Increased Efficiency:-
      The cooling effect of water helps solar panels perform more efficiently, potentially increasing energy production by up to 10% compared to ground-mounted systems. 
3) Reduced Water Evaporation:-
        Floating panels shade water bodies, minimizing evaporation, which is beneficial in areas facing water scarcity. 
4) Algae Growth Control:-
      The shade from floating panels can help reduce algae growth in water bodies, improving water quality and ecosystem balance. 
5) Versatile Application:-
     Floating solar systems can be implemented on various water bodies, including reservoirs, lakes, and even canals and the sea. 
6) Growing Adoption:-
     Floating solar technology is gaining popularity globally, with installed capacity increasing rapidly. 
    Examples of Floating Solar Projects:-
     Ramagundam Floating Solar Project:-                                                 India's largest floating solar power plant, built on a large reservoir. 
     Assam Floating Solar Power Plant: - 
       A 8 kW off-grid solar project on an Amrit Sarovar, demonstrating the technology's potential for rural electrification and water resource management. 
     Floating solar systems in Germany:-
     Many artificial water bodies in Germany, such as lakes from former mining sites, are being considered for floating solar installations. 
   India's total installed solar power capacity has reached :-107.95 GW, 
with 
Ground-mounted solar plants- accounting for 82.39 GW. 
Grid-connected rooftop solar installations contribute 17.69 GW, 
  while hybrid projects (solar component) and off-grid solar systems make up 
2.89 GW and 4.98 GW respectively.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan

Lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage in Japan     Japan has developed a technology that allows houses to literally lift off the ground during earthquakes, protecting them from damage.    This is achieved using a system of compressed air and sensors that inflate an airbag under the house, lifting it a few centimeters during tremors. The house then gently settles back down when the shaking stops.      Japan has developed innovative earthquake-resistant technology that allows houses to lift off the ground during seismic activity, minimizing damage. This is achieved through systems like the one developed by Air Danshin, which uses compressed air to lift houses on airbags. When sensors detect tremors, the airbag inflates, raising the house a few centimeters and preventing it from shaking violently with the ground.    More detailed explanation: Airbag Technology:- Air Danshin has pioneered the use of large airbags placed b...
