Journey from Coal to renewal energy

    India, a significant consumer of coal power, is witnessing substantial growth in clean energy adoption. While coal still dominates, India's clean energy sector is experiencing rapid expansion, with significant investments and project development.
 Government sources indicate that India has the fourth-highest amount of installed clean power globally, with a recent surge of 30 gigawatts added in the fiscal year.
Coal's Dominance:-
While India's energy mix is heavily reliant on coal, the share of coal-based power generation is decreasing. The Economic Times notes that coal's share in installed capacity has dropped from 60% to less than 50%. 
Clean Energy Growth:-
India is making substantial investments in renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydro power. Government reports highlight the largest-ever addition of clean power in a single fiscal year, adding 30 GW, enough to power nearly 18 million homes. 
Renewables Expansion:-
Multiple large-scale renewable energy projects are underway, including wind and solar power farms. News reports indicate that India's domestic manufacturing capacity for solar panels is also increasing. 
Challenges Persist:-
Despite the rapid growth in installed capacity, the actual share of renewable energy in electricity generation remains lower than desired. 
While non-fossil fuel sources now make up 45% of installed capacity, their share in electricity generation was only 24% last year

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...
