I have tried to flag some of the important areas which require introspection and also correction so that the pace of hydropower development in India, is brought back to track. In this context, it is also important to note that the 24,000 MW exploitable hydro-potential in Bhutan and 80,000...
Despite the profound implications of climate change on streamflow, the linkage between climate change and hydropower production in India remains unexplored. Here, we provide the first-ever assessment of climate change impacts on hydropower potential of the seven large hydropower projects with more than ...
2.1 Hydropower development scenario in India India is assessed to have a hydropower potential of 145320 MW in the category of large hydropower projects. Out of this assessed potential, 95860 MW (about 66%) still remains pending for implementation [5]. In the SHP category (i.e. projects having...
India has a huge potential for generating power through such run of the river schemes. Even though these plants are subject to seasonal fluctuations in water flow, a well-developed grid can absorb the seasonality through a proper load generation balance. Pumped Storage Pumped storage plant is a ...
Operational hydropower capacity by states in the Northern region, India, As on 31st March 2020 The northern region has mountainous topography and a perennial river system, thus, it has a great potential to develop further hydropower projects. The region receives sufficient rainfall, has suitable g...
Small hydropower development is also necessary for proper utilization of available water resources. Present study has been carried out to highlight the water resource and small hydropower potential in India. Utilization of small hydropower sources for sustainable development has also been presented. 展开...
Four HKH countries (Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan) have a hydroelectric potential of 334 Gigawatt (GW). However, owing to inadequate infrastructure, technological constraints and lack of credible cooperation among the countries, only one-third of this potential has actually been tapped so...
Potential of micro-hydropower generation systems in India Large-scale hydro-electric power has been used worldwide for a long time to generate huge amounts of power from water stored behind massive dams. Small-sca... SM Muthamil,CR Mehta,A Varshney - Ama-agricultural Mechanization in Asia Afri...
Bhoothathankettu dam in Kerala. Hydropower has been identified as key to India's ambition to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, which still make up well over half of the country's energy mix. Image:Arnaud Martinez/Flickr
The development of the hydrogen economy and the latent potential offtake for platinum group metals (PGMs) is a key underpin to the long-term view of future demand and the role PGMs will play in a... Africa's path to sustainability: A trusted partner, collaboration and learning from global...
