Objective:
India relies heavily on Coal and Oil for meeting its energy needs. Although India has over 20 GW capacity coming from Renewable sources connected to a grid of over 185 GW, contributing to over 10% of the installed capacity. However this contributes only about 3% to the total actual generation. The availability of coal for Power Generation has become critical in recent year and the reported shortage of coal is up to 30%. This bring into focus the need for more emphasis on Renewable energy, which needs to be pursued not only for energy security and environmental sustainability but also for its viability as an energy source for our citizens located at the remotest places and the most deprived ones.
This seminar is designed to share amongst the participants the experience of policy makers, manufacturers, academicians and other experts in the field.
