High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Composites for Sustainable Energy Applications

by vemcoblogs -

Today, thanks to the numerous advancements in technology, renewable energy is being redefined and is being made more affordable. One such upgrade is a fibre-reinforced solar power system. It is a system where the regular, flat PV Panels are substituted with ones made from glass fibre and composites.

A Solar Panel in Maharashtra would offer various benefits if it’s of this kind. Its main advantage is the fact that it produces higher amounts of electricity at a lower cost. Its installation would also require lesser capital investment.
Other key benefits include:

• Durability: These panels are more durable than ordinary PV Panels. This is important if your premises are located in relatively harsher environmental conditions.

• Weight: These panels are lighter than regular Residential Solar Panels which are often non-composite. This makes installation easier and ensures that your solar power system gets commissioned faster. The fact that it’s lightweight also makes maintenance easier.

• Heat transfer: Along with contributing to the generation of Renewable Energy, these panels also absorb and transfer heat directly from the Sun. This could be helpful in relatively colder places and it also reduces energy wastage.

Solar and Wind Energy: Are They Really Killing Coal, Nuclear and Grid Reliability?

by vemcoblogs -

We’ve always been taught about the importance of using Renewable Energy. Solar and wind energy today power countless homes, offices, industries, etc. But are these sources of clean energy eliminating coal, nuclear and grid reliability? Let’s find out.

Solar and wind energy v/s coal

Can a Residential Solar Panel or a Wind Mill be a good substitute for coal? Absolutely. In fact, though these renewable energy sources may need you to incur significant capital expenditure initially, you’ll notice that you’re paying way less for electricity every month.

Also, recurring costs for solar and wind energy are limited to their maintenance, which can be made easy through Annual Maintenance Contracts (click here to know more about VEMC’s AMC offerings). Meanwhile, energy derived from coal involves higher recurring costs, i.e. the cost of mining it, burning it, etc. Hence, people are increasingly choosing Renewable Energy over coal.


Solar and wind v/s nuclear energy

Solar and wind energy can’t compete with the sheer volume of energy that can be generated with a nuclear power plant. However, these energy sources are more accessible, cheaper, safer and can be commissioned way more quickly. Thus, for homes, offices, commercial spaces, etc., PV Panels or Wind Mills can be more suitable.


Solar and wind v/s grid dependence


If the right form of energy storage is used (click here to know more about energy storage), solar and wind energy can eliminate the need for you to depend on the grid for your power needs. This can significantly reduce your electricity bills and rid you of power fluctuations that may occur in the grid. However, solar energy can also be grid-tied (click here to know more). Here, you can produce your own energy and also depend on the grid to absorb excess energy you produce. You can also draw energy from it if there’s a shortage.

Energy Storage Is Starting to Revolutionise the Electricity Industry

by vemcoblogs -

Renewable Energy, for instance, solar power, comes with some challenges. One of these is the fact that at any given point, one can’t be certain of how much energy can be generated. For instance, a cloudy day can reduce the energy supply and there isn’t much we can do about that.
Solar energy has the disadvantage of unpredictable supply since it depends on the natural environment, unlike non-renewable sources of energy. What can be done to combat this drawback? Energy Storage is the solution here.

How does Energy Storage work?
Energy Storage equipment like Solar Batteries can be used to deal with the inconsistencies of energy supply. They are connected to Solar PV Panels and store excess energy produced during periods of peak sunlight. This excess energy is then drawn from the Battery Backup and used to generate electricity during periods when it’s not sunny, e.g. nights, cloudy days, etc.

Why is Energy Storage important?
If you’re intending to install Solar Panel in Maharashtra, energy storage would be a good investment.
• It helps ensure excess electricity doesn’t get wasted
• It provides electricity when energy supply is low
• It can be used to transfer energy

Energy Storage and Solar Power Solutions:
Energy Storage is important in an off-grid solar PV system (click here to know more about this system). Here, since the system isn’t connected to the main power grid, Solar Batteries are required to supply power when sunlight isn’t available. Similarly, Energy Storage is also needed in a hybrid system (click here to know more).

Energy Efficient Pumps – A Need Of Modern World

by vemcoblogs -

India is a country that is urbanizing and that too at a rapid rate. Experts expect that by 2030, 40 per cent of the country would become urban. One of the immediate aftereffects of this rapid urbanization has been the increase in the high rise building complexes. In most of these urban centres, the local municipal corporations distribute the water. In these cases, they use pumps in order to push the water. The people living in these buildings store them in overhead tanks. These complexes are becoming increasingly taller. This is why there is an increasing need for more electricity. This also puts more pressure on the pumps and the entire electricity system of the building. This is where one feels the need of water pumps distributors who deal in energy-efficient products.

Dealing with frugal budgets 

In most cases, these residential complexes have frugal budgets for maintenance. Any extra load placed on their electricity usage can only make things worse for them in this regard. This is the reason why they must think of service providers such as Kirloskar pumps dealers. They are the ones that would be able to offer them the energy-efficient products that they are looking for. This way they would be able to save quite a lot of money on their electricity bills.

The contribution of pumps to electricity bills in a society

If you wish to find out how much these pumps are contributing to the electricity bills of your society all you need to do is do some calculations and audits. In most cases, 50 per cent of your electricity costs each month are contributed to by these pumps. This is the reason why you need to get in touch with the water pumps distributors in Navi Mumbai and get energy-efficient products from them. 

Where does the money go? 

In most buildings, there are three major heads where the expenses happen – lights, pump, and elevator. Out of these lights consume the least amount of energy and pumps take up the most. This is the reason why you should first look at the pump if you are serious about reducing your energy bills and, more importantly, your energy consumption. This is why you need water pumps distributors in Thane who can provide you with energy-efficient products and help you save money. 

Conclusion

In the case of appliances, efficiency is basically the rate at which it is able to convert electricity into some form of energy.All pumps are designed in such a way that they are able to handle a certain amount of load where it has maximum efficiency. This particular juncture is also known as BEP (Best Efficiency Point). In most cases, it has been seen that when operated at their BEPs the small pumps have an efficiency rate of around 50 to 70 per cent. You need to keep in mind that you have to buy your pumps from pump manufacturers in Mumbai who are known to offer energy-efficient products.

Floating Solar Panels: An Alternative to Land Panels

by vemcoblogs -

One of the main concerns people have when they’re considering installing solar panels is the fact that their premises may not be big enough to house large solar panels. In Indian cities, for instance, Mumbai, space constraints are very common. As a result, many buildings are small and don’t have rooftops big enough for Residential Solar Panels. If you’re planning on installing Solar Panel in Mumbai, floating solar panels may prove to be a great option.

What are Floating Solar panels?
Floating PV Panels are solar panels that are installed in a body of water. These are attached to buoyant structures, such as pontoons, which ensure that they remain afloat. Such panels are located in stagnant bodies of water, which could be natural (e.g. lakes) or manmade (e.g. reservoirs).

Key benefits of floating panels:

  • Overcoming space constraints: Renewable Energy like solar power no longer takes up vast chunks of your land if installed in water bodies.
  • Prevention of overheating: Contrary to popular belief, too much direct sunlight can cause solar panels to overheat. Hence, when it comes to floating panels, water can help cool the panels down to some extent to maintain efficiency.
  • Prevention of water loss: Since floating panels cover large sections of water bodies, they slow down evaporation since those sections are no longer in contact with direct sunlight.
