Item Bifacial Solar PV Systems: A Sustainable Solution for Energy-Intensive Industries(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Bojja, S.K.; Kunar, B.M.; Murthy, Ch.S.N.Energy-intensive industries and mineral-based industries demand a considerable quantity of power for numerous uses. This is a big challenge because these procedures need a continuous and constant energy source, which requires an uninterrupted power supply. In theory, industries complement, replace, or lessen the effects of using fossil fuels by utilizing renewable energy, carbon capture, and energy recovery. However, combining renewable energy sources, such as solar power, can significantly lower overall operating costs and carbon emissions to meet the energy needs of different industrial applications. This study describes the installation, for research purposes, of a prototype bifacial solar PV system (BSPV) equipped with a pumping motor. A BSPV system is being investigated because its output energy will be higher than that of monofacial solar cells. BSPV systems use less space than monofacial ones while still producing the same power and being less expensive as well. © 2024 IEEE.Item Towards a Greener Extraction: Renewable Energy Initiatives in India's Mining Industry(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Bojja, S.K.; Kunar, B.M.; Rajendhar, R.The main objectives of using renewable energy in India are to advance economic growth, enhance power reliability, increase access to electricity, and lessen the consequences of global warming. Utilizing sustainable energy and ensuring that all residents have access to reliable, inexpensive, environmentally friendly, and contemporary amenities enable sustainable development. Due to strong government support and an improving economic climate, India is rising to the top of the list of the most promising markets in the world for renewable energy. The administration has developed open-minded guidelines, approaches, and a setting that welcomes foreign investment and advances the nation's green energy industry. This essay discusses significant advancements in India's use of renewable energy, including prospects, projections, electricity production and challenges. This study recognized the considerable challenges that the renewable energy industry faces as well as how renewable energy affects the mining sector. Mining businesses are switching to non-fossil fuels in order to lessen their carbon footprint. Policymakers, entrepreneurs, project developers, investors, businesses, appropriate parties-related scholars, and experts will find the suggestions based on the evaluated results. © 2024 IEEE.
