Rahul Tongia led the Brookings India sustainability practice which recently has transitioned into the Center for Social and Economic Progress. Dr. Tongia is also a founder of the India smart grid forum and has written extensively on the system level challenges associated with the grid integration of Renewable Energy sources. In this conversation, Dr. Tongia expands on this topic, and breaks down the system levels costs associated with renewable energy integration into its various components. Hope you enjoy my conversation with Dr. Tongia! Topics covered in this podcast: ​ 1. How does the level of RE integration in India compare with other countries? 2. Will high RE penetration levels pose significant challenges to grid operators? 3. Is there a penetration threshold for renewable energy onto the grid, which once exceeded, grid operators will then face great difficulty to manage the energy flows? 4. A detailed breakdown of the system level impacts of Renewable energy on the grid 5. Analysis of previously calculated system level costs of RE integration, and Dr. Tongia's perspective on whether these estimated cost quantities are representative of true costs

In the barren reaches of the Himalayas, Chinese and Indian patrols keep coming to blows. In June, a deadly clash left 20 Indian soldiers, and an unknown number of Chinese soldiers were killed in their worst cross-border violence in decades. Now, in a marked escalation of tensions, the two nuclear-armed states are accusing each other of firing warning shots at the frontier. Both sides have rushed in tens of thousands of reinforcements, backed by artillery, tanks, and fighter jets. And as New Delhi and Beijing butt heads 14,000 feet above sea level, China is building up its presence in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and other contentious points along the Indian Ocean. Indian citizens are protesting and boycotting Chinese-made goods. Dhruva Jaishankar, Director of the U.S. Initiative at the Observer Research Foundation, joins Altamar Podcast and explains what the fallout means for the region and the rest of the world. He is also a non-resident fellow at the Lowy Institute in Australia and previously worked at Brookings India and the German Marshall Fund. His commentary appears regularly in Indian and international publications, including The Hindu, The Atlantic, and Foreign Policy, and he has collaborated on multiple books and journals.   https://altamar.us/gunshots-in-the-himalayas/   ----- Produced by Simpler Media

Constantino Xavier é investigador na Brookings India, em Nova Deli, integrado na Brookings Institution, um dos maiores think tanks do mundo. A investigação do Constantino debruça-se sobretudo sobre a política externa da Índia, segurança e política regional, democracia e relações Europa-Ásia Aproveitei uma visita do Constantino a Portugal, no mês passado, para o convidar para o podcast. É um privilégio poder trazer ao podcast um especialista de renome mundial em assuntos indianos. Durante a conversa, falámos sobre uma série de aspectos relacionados com a Índia. Desde logo, as especificidades deste país gigantesco e ultra-diverso, composto por 29 Estados, com diferentes culturas, dezenas de religiões e quase 400 línguas diferentes. Não podíamos passar ao lado da política interna do país, que tem sido agitada nos últimos anos, com o com a ascensão do partido do actual Primeiro Ministro, o carismático Narendra Modi, e a vaga de nacionalismo hindu que lhe tem estado associada e que é um dos grandes desafios à unidade do país. Aliás, estão agora na Índia a decorrer as eleições gerais, um processo verdadeiramente hercúleo, não só em dimensão (é a maior democracia do mundo) como em duração, visto que dura, vejam só, desde 11 de abril e estende-se até dia 23 de maio! Falámos também da China, um tema praticamente incontornável hoje em dia quando se analisa a Índia no contexto internacional. Por um lado, a China representa um modelo para a Índia do ponto de vista do desenvolvimento económico. Mas é, também, cada vez mais, uma ameaça ao domínio a que a Índia estava habituada na sua vizinhança. Para além disso, e falámos disso também, é um país com uma cultura muito distinta da da Índia, algo que é visível também nas diferentes abordagens entre os dois países à política e à cooperação internacionais. Finalmente, como não poderia deixar de ser, falámos também do Paquistão, a eterna dor-de-cabeça dos governos indianos. As relações entre os dois países têm sido ultra-tensas (para usar um eufemismo) desde a partição da Índia Britânica em 1947 e a independência dos dois países; juntamente com o Paquistão Oriental (agora Bangladesh).

Since its independence from Britain in 1947, India has evolved into a strong electoral democracy—the largest in the world—and one that has proven resilient in the face of the populist tide pressuring many western democracies. India has also emerged as a powerful nation in the Indo-Pacific region, contributing to global democratic institutions and norms in ways not always noticed in the West.
