By Sohan Maheshwar
The Internet of Things ecosystem is huge! Intel predicts the ecosystem to grow to 200 billion IoT devices across the world. That is 200 billion smart devices that use wireless technology to talk to each other. Currently, all consumer applications of IoT use mobile apps as an interface for users. For instance, a user can dim the lights on a smart bulb or increase the temperature on a smart thermostat, using its corresponding mobile app.
ChatbotsIoTInternet of things has been more hype than realityedit
Back in 2010, Ericsson predicted there would be 50 billion internet-connected devices by 2020. Now, it has shaved 20 billion devices off the estimate. The ‘internet of things’ (IoT) revolution isn’t happening yet. As Gartner says: “The IoT remains on the peak of inflated expectations for the third year in a row as vendors push the hype even higher, but most companies struggle to find use cases beyond proof-of-concept.”

The government’s goals of reaching renewable energy generation of 175GW by 2022, speeding up the construction pace in roads and bridging the infrastructure deficit along the length and breadth of the country are headline-worthy initiatives. A report of the Global Infrastructure Hub (GI Hub) indicates that the government’s spending in rail and electricity is strong.
Renewable EnergySolar eclipse presents first major test of power grid in renewable eraedit
As Monday’s total solar eclipse sweeps from Oregon to South Carolina, U.S. electric power and grid operators will be glued to their monitoring systems in what for them represents the biggest test of the renewable energy era. Utilities and grid operators have been planning for the event for years, calculating the timing and drop in output from solar, running simulations of the potential impact on demand, and lining up standby power sources.

Three important features define the background for discussions on renewables and coal. First, under the leadership of the Prime Minister, India led the initiative to launch the International Solar Alliance at the Paris meeting in December 2016, underpinned by an enhanced domestic effort to dramatically increase renewable capacity to 175 gigawatts by 2022.
Renewable EnergySolar, wind energy to power India soon? Here is why THIS argument is quite wrongedit
Given how each successive auction of either solar or wind energy seems to be throwing up a lower price, it is easy to believe renewables will soon replace conventional energy like coal and, in the bargain, also play a big role in helping India reduce its carbon footprint.
