Renewables contributed 19 percent to our energy consumption and 22 percent to our electricity generation in 2012 and 2013‚ respectively. Both‚ modern renewables‚ such as hydro‚ wind‚ solar and biofuels‚ as well as traditional biomass‚ contributed in about equal parts to the global energy supply. Worldwide investments in renewable technologies amounted to more than US$ 214 billion in 2013‚ with countries like China and the United States heavily investing in wind‚ hydro‚ solar and biofuels.

Assam faces huge power crisis Guwahati: Assam is facing a severe power crisis after a fall in the generation of power by hydel and thermal power stations. Two transmission towers in neighbouring West Bengal were damaged by a devastating storm‚ which has also led to the shortage. The state is facing a shortage of 403 Megawatt (MW) of power with the peak load hour power demand being 1100 MW as against the available 497 MW‚ official sources said today. The problem has been further compounded

Rental power is typically costlier than conventional power because production of it involves short term deals. A rental power company must have power generation equipment ready in its stock. But none of the dozen plus local companies awarded with rental power contracts have any stock of plant equipment or experience in rental power projects. The PDB signed the contracts with the two sponsors on February 4 this year asking them to install and commission their respective plants within 120 days (4

Nuclear for Energy Solution [pic] Nuclear power plants perhaps can provide solutions to India’s horrible power shortages and outages too. With the US assistance envisaged in recent Indo-US joint statement India plans to take its nuclear power generation capability closer to the goal of 20‚000 MW by 2020. The high cost of nuclear power may be one deterrent for its choice or preference. In 80s and 90s many nuclear power projects even in US got cancelled or deferred because of the financial realities

currently sells oil and air filters for consumer and commercial vehicles. In addition to automotive filters‚ ABC historically invested in emerging air filter technologies for large‚ natural gas turbines (GT) used for power generation. The process of combusting natural gas for power generation requires a tremendous amount of air intake (~720‚000 ft3 of air every minute of operation) and a turbine may need up to 1‚000 intake filters to remove harmful contaminates that erode and foul the turbine’s function

The electricity requirements of the world including India are increasing at alarming rate and the power demand has been running ahead of supply. It is also now widely recognized that the fossil fuels (i.e.‚ coal‚ petroleum and natural gas) and other conventional resources‚ presently being used for generation of electrical energy‚ may not be either sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand of the electrical energy of the world. Also generation of electrical power
