What's new

World’s largest floating Solar Power Plant will be constructed in Khandwa Madhya Pradesh

Again, do you know the energy density of such battery compared to lithium ion batteries?

No, explain to me please since you seem to be an innovator. :rolleyes:

How should a neutrino battery work ? Perhaps you should ignore an Indian "government" institution getting technology from the main German organization on a car that extracts electricity from neutrinos and other environmental radiations :

Electromobility of the Future: India and German Neutrino Energy Have Formed a Groundbreaking Partnership​

US $2.5 billion initiative to develop a self-charging electric "Car Pi" using neutrinovoltaic technology

BERLIN, Oct. 14, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- One of todays most ambitious projects is getting underway: a new partnership between India and Germany is paving the way for the electric car "Car Pi", which will get its energy from the environment rather than from a charging station, making it completely independent of "dishonest" electricity generated by the combustion of fossil fuels.

The announcement comes from the International Conference on Multifunctional Electronic Materials and Processing (MEMP 2021) in India. Dr. Vijay Pandurang Bhatkar, a computer scientist and the Rector of India's Nalanda University, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC). Vijay Pandurang Bhatkar is the developer of the PARAM supercomputer and the founder of India's state-run High Performance Computing program.

The pact establishes a new cooperation between India's C-MET Science Centre and the Neutrino Energy Group, one of the world's top electronic materials research and development institutes. This Berlin-based, German-American business has created a device that converts ambient energy into electrical current using an innovative graphene-based composite material. "This new, unique smart partnership has the potential to put in motion revolutionary processes in the fields of energy generation and automotive technology," says Neutrino Energy Group CEO Holger Thorsten Schubart.

The pact was signed under the auspices of the Indian government and other partners by C-MET, a Pune-based materials center for electronic technologies that is part of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and, therefore, the Indian government. It paves the way for the Car Pi to be developed by merging financial and intellectual resources.

The collaboration will focus on materials science, electronic materials, 2D materials, the production of quantum dots, and the development of applied devices. The project's implementation budget has been estimated at $2.5 billion USD.

The Car-Pi electric car, which does not require power from charging stations, is intended to be the product of the collaboration. Autonomous power sources integrated within the body of the electric vehicle will collect energy from the environment and generate propulsion. This method will also be utilized to charge the compact battery pack that is used to cover peak loads. This novel method has the potential to alleviate electric mobility constraints such as long charging periods or the need to ramp up conventional power generation to fulfill the demand for electric vehicles, all while reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

Shri Sanjay Dhotre, India's Minister of State for Education, Communications, Electronics and Information Technology, said at MEMP 2021 that the alliance will "certainly have the broadest support of the Government of India."

Dr. Bharat Bhanudas Kale, co-founder and director of the Centre for Materials for Electronic Technology (C-MET) and a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry in London, is also part of the team and sees the signing of the partnership memorandum and the start of the collaboration as particularly significant for the global community in the field of energy and materials. In this domain, the scientist is one of the world's leading specialists.

"Despite the fact that the technology has been verified and tested in lab settings, there is still a long way to go before the first Car Pi hits the road." Holger Thorsten Schubart notes that the development of the self-charging Car Pi necessitates additional study into power generating dependability under various situations, as well as safety and a variety of other factors. According to him, the design and demonstration facility in Frankfurt will be an important component of the project.
"We are delighted to begin this adventure with C-MET, which is known for its globally recognized expertise - the Neutrino Energy Group has been seeking a qualified partner to manage such a huge and complicated project for a long time," stated Holger Thorsten Schubart. "As wonderful and audacious as it may sound, building a self-charging electric car is unquestionably a new milestone in the history of automotive engineering and in particular electric mobility."

India is aiming to generate about 50 per cent of its installed electricity power capacity from non-fossil fuel based energy sources by 2030.

The Union Cabinet on Wednesday (3 August) approved India’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to be communicated to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

The update is also a step towards achieving India’s long term goal of reaching net-zero by 2070.

The updated NDC also represents the framework for India’s transition to cleaner energy for the period 2021-2030.



Almost 1.4 Million EVs Running On Indian Roads, Govt Informs Rajya Sabha

XpresT_Zero_Emission_tata_ev.jpg


Sale of EVs in FY 2021-22 has gone up over three times as compared to sale of EVs in FY 2020-21

The increase in sale of EVs is attributed mainly to the incentive under FAME India Scheme Phase-II, provided to buyers of electric vehicles meeting FAME criteria in the form of an upfront reduction in the purchase price of electric vehicles

Each of AMP Energy, NHDC and SJVN won contracts for development of 100 MW. While AMP Energy quoted a tariff of Rs 3.21 per KWh, NHDC won with a quoted tariff of Rs 3.22 per KWh, while SJVN won the contract for the remaining 100 MW capacity at a quoted tariff of Rs 3.26 per kWh.

Why solar power prices increased ? If I remember correctly, I think they were reduced to as low as Rs 1.98 per unit.

I am guessing due to increase in increase in Capital cost and long term Maintenance cost since these are floating on water.

Also not many players in the niche floating solar plant.

But productivity of Floating Solar power plant is more that land based ones due to the water cooling the panel and improving efficiency.

Those low rates you mentioned were for land based solar power stations, especially in desserts where land was cheap and competition was plenty.

Nap Pai,

Why solar power prices increased ? If I remember correctly, I think they were reduced to as low as Rs 1.98 per unit.

Two things

One, globally module prices have hardened quite a bit due to increase in energy prices (which affects semiconductors cost) and cost of other materials such as glass etc. Then you have an import duty imposed by GoI on Chinese modules and dollar depreciation. So land based solar prices quoted have increased by about 40 odd paise per unit.
Two, as @kopotov points out floating solar costs a bit more as you have use floats etc to tether the modules.

Regards

1.98 is actually for land based solar projects, water based tends to be costlier. Although they have additional advantage of reducing evaporation.

It works by beta particle emissions, and efficiency is abysmally low to be used in any meaningful purposes.

Can we power an electric vehicle? The answer is no,” says Morgan Boardman, Arkenlight’s CEO. To power something that energy hungry, he says, means “the mass of the battery would be significantly greater than the mass of the vehicle.” Instead, the company is looking at applications where it is either impossible or impractical to regularly change a battery, such as sensors in remote or hazardous locations at nuclear waste repositories or on satellites.
You'll be pressing hard to run a calculator with such battery, forget a car. :lol:

But given your scientific acumen, you'll be resorting back to your usual gibbering again in a week.

Reducing evaporation is one thing, main advantage is cooling the photo voltaic cells. and it increases the efficiency of those solar cell modules.
