Renewable energy growth and it's status

Renewable energy growth and it's status 
     India has seen significant growth in renewable energy (RE) generation and is actively implementing new policies to further expand its RE capacity. 
   Key initiatives include the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for rooftop solar, green hydrogen policies, and manufacturing incentives for solar PV and wind turbines. 
   The government has also set ambitious targets, such as achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. 

New Renewable Energy Policies:-

1) PM Surya Ghar:-
Muft Bijli Yojana:-
    This scheme aims to promote rooftop solar adoption in residential areas, providing financial incentives and subsidies for solar panel installation. 

2) Green Hydrogen Policy:-
   The government is actively developing green hydrogen policies to reduce costs and attract investments in this emerging sector. 

3) National Green Hydrogen Mission:-
      This mission focuses on enhancing energy generation capacity while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. 
    
Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme for High Efficiency Solar PV Modules:-
   This scheme aims to boost domestic manufacturing of solar PV modules. 
Green Energy Open Access Rules 2022:-
These rules facilitate the sale of Renewable Energy power, including solar power, through exchanges. 
Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets:-
The government has set RPO targets up to March 2030, with a minimum share of renewable energy progressively increasing over the years. 

Waiver of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges:-
   ISTS charges for inter-state sale of solar and wind power for projects commissioned by June 30, 2025, have been waived. 

Timely Payment Assurance:-
    Orders have been issued to ensure timely payment to RE generators by distribution licensees. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown: -
Solar Power:-
 India's solar power capacity has surpassed 100 GW, reaching 105,646 MW by the end of March 2025.

Wind Power: -
Wind power capacity has crossed the 50 GW mark, reaching 50,038 MW.

Hydro Power:-
 Hydro capacity increased by 760 MW in Q1 of 2025.
Other Renewable Sources:-
 Waste-to-Energy capacity rose by 220 MW and biomass-based capacity by 15 MW in Q1 2025.

Total Non-Fossil Fuel Capacity: -
India's total non-fossil fuel power capacity, including hydro, nuclear, and other renewables, reached 228 GW in the first quarter of 2025.

Coal Capacity: 
While coal capacity saw a net increase of 2,843 MW in Q1, its share in total installed capacity continued to decline.

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...
