摘要

The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) entered into a strategic association with the National Institute of Solar Energy (NISE) to achieve common objectives related to research and development of solar energy and related equipment and technology. TERI Director General, Dr Ajay Mathur, and NISE Director General, Dr AK Tripathi, signed the five-year memorandum of understanding at TERI. The collaboration is related to grid-connected solar rooftop PV, solar thermal power plants, energy storage systems, electric vehicles, smart grid initiatives, solar cooling etc. The organisations also intend to carry out policy and regulatory studies and capacity-building programmes dealing with grid integration, recycling and disposal of solar panels and batteries and collaborate with global research institutions to undertake research in India. Apart from this, TERI and NISE will also look into setting up a product development centre for renewable energy technologies. This centre will also focus on incubation and development of business models and consultancy in various aspects of solar energy technologies.
