Bustard
order will hit green push, SC told / 14 Dec 2021
Extract :
The Centre on Monday sought
modification of the Supreme Courtroom’s April 19 order for placing underground
energy transmission cables in huge areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat for cover of
endangered Great Indian Bustard (GIB),
saying:
#
it’s technically not possible,
# value intensive and
# might be an enormous setback to India’s worldwide dedication to manoeuvre
steadily in direction
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta requested
CJI NV Ramana for an urgent hearing on
the Centre’s plea citing a current report of technical group comprising
consultants from transmission and energy sector and members from Wildlife
Institute of India (WII).
The Centre said the cost will
work out to Rs 12 crore a km and the objective could
possibly be achieved by putting in bird diverters.
It stated GIBs could get effective protection from electrocution by installing fowl
diverters, as was used on Gwalior-Jaipur line by Power Grid Corporation to
guard Indian Vulture and Egyptian Vulture and in Bhuj-Banaskantha line to guard
Flamingos and Cranes.
Implementation of the SC order “shall result in enormous delay in commissioning
of already awarded and under-construction renewable energy initiatives in these
states, which in any other case would get commissioned within the subsequent
couple of years. Contemplating the sensible and technical challenges in laying
the facility traces underground, growth of future initiatives in Rajasthan and
Gujarat will even be impacted.”
===================================================
My Take :
I fail to understand why Solicitor General
Tushar Mehta , did not get the experts to examine the feasibility of using
DRONES to divert the Bustards, as suggested in my following earlier e-mail
Dear
Shri Jyotiraditya Scindiaji,
Only
a few days back, you stated that India will become the “ DRONE HUB “ for the World
I
urge you to challenge drone startups to come up with an offer to solve this problem
With
regards,

Where
there is a Will, there are Two Ways ……………………………..[ 16 June 2021 ]
Extact :
I am no “ technical expert “
But I urge those technical experts to
consider feasibility of the following solutions :
===================================================
WAY # 1 :
Flock Dynamics ………………………[ 04 Sept 2018 ]
Extract :
Scientists have developed
an algorithm that enables a flying drone to herd a flock of birds away from a designated air-space, without
breaking their formation
Robotic Drones can herd birds away from
airspaces

WAY # 2 :
Wireless Power Transmission ? ………….[ 27 Aug 2020 ]
The dream of Wireless power transmission might soon
become a reality [ 19 Aug 2020 ]
Extract :
Ø A startup from New Zealand has now developed a
safe method to wirelessly transmit electric power across long
Ø EMROD has produced the first
long-range, high-power, wireless power
transmission alternative to the traditional
concept of electromagnetic waves
Ø Emrod has convinced a power distribution
company to try their innovation
on a commercial scale. It might not
would
Ø The setup contains a transmitting antenna, a series of relays and a
receiving
— a rectifying antenna
into electricity
Ø The line of sight between each relay is the only limiting factor for the
distance of transmission — thus greatly
maintenance costs & environmental
impact, that a wired solution imposes
Ø This wireless transmission could
be the key to
harnessing renewable
energy which is often generated in areas
I
urge Shri R K Singhji (
Minister for Renewable Power ), to form a
consortium of the following organizations, for an early
COMMERCIALIZATION of EMROD invention
:
NTPC / DISCOMS / EMROD /
KEC / L&T / BHEL / ECIL / NHPC / ONGC /
National Labs etc

This Wireless Power Technology Could Change New Zealand’s
Transmission System / 20 Sept 2020
Extract :
“The statistics are pretty compelling. We are talking about,
# a potential 50%
increase in sustainable energy
uptake,
# up to 85% reduction
in outages, and
# up to 65% reduction in
electricity infrastructure cost due to
the Emrod
solution,”
said Greg Kushnir, Chief Executive Officer of EMROD.
EMROD stated that Powerco, a New-Zealand based electricity distributor,
would be the first to try out the new technology.
It added that EMROD would provide the next prototype of
technology to Powerco in October 2020.
The company would execute lab testing of the prototype and train
the Powerco team before the field trial.
“The system we are currently
building for Powerco will transmit only a few kilowatts, but we can
use the same technology to transmit 100 times power over a much longer
distance,” said Kushnir.
The company said that its
technology could reduce the electricity
infrastructure cost, which could help provide low-cost
sustainable energy to remote communities like in Africa and the Pacific Islands to
energize hospitals, schools, and economies.
Meanwhile, India’s transmission infrastructure continues
to worry stakeholders.
The lack of transmission infrastructure to support new renewable energy
capacity addition has also been a growing concern for solar and wind generators in
the country, especially over the last few years, in light of the surge in
renewable energy projects.
Mercom has previously written about how India’s transmission and
distribution system requires significant expansion, considering the rapid
installation of solar and wind projects.
