	Soumya Deep Das, R Srikanth Soumya Deep Das is Doctoral Student; R Srikanth is Professor and Head, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme Viability of power distribution in India – Challenges and Way Forward https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2020.111882 Energy Policy, December 2020 Power distribution companies (DISCOMs) in India are experiencing financial stress. The high cost of power procurement is one of the key reasons for this financial stress. This is mainly due to a fragmented approach to power sector reforms. The authors offer insights and propose recommendations to address this situation.
	Rudrodip Majumdar co-authored Assistant Professor, Energy, Environment and Climate Change Programme Comparative evaluation of circular truncated-cone and paraboloid shapes for thermal energy storage tanks based on thermal stratification performance https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352152X20320144 Energy Storage, December 2020 Thermal stratification characteristics are investigated and analyzed in detail for three chosen shapes of TES, namely truncated-cone, paraboloid, and cylinder, using a two-dimensional unsteady numerical model. Results of the numerical model on cylindrical TES is found to have good agreement with the findings of the in-house experiments. . At every AR investigated for the two shapes of TES, Richardson number for the paraboloid TES is greater than that of the truncated-cone TES, qualitatively suggesting a better temperature stratification in the paraboloid TES.
