Integrating Wind & Solar in Existing Grid Effectively

The green initiatives in Union budget 2019 focus on renewable energy, air pollution, water, and solid waste management for a sustainable future. That makes the integration of renewable energy like solar and wind in existing national grid a must to achieve India’s target of 175GW in renewable energy capacity by 2022. But the variability and […]

Inability to Forecast is not the Disability of Regulation

With openly accessible documents/regulations/ on Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM), due to forecasting and scheduling (F&S) of wind and solar power generation at different SLDCs like Punjab, Haryana, U.P., A.P., Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat (Mock-trial), it is surely that the forecasting of the variable generation is under litmus-test. The F&S of solar […]

Forecasting to mitigate back-down

Unlike other renewable energy rich countries where grid management is for the purpose of energy management, the grid management in India actually targets to solve the capacity management problem. The power market structure of India is comparatively complex unlike other countries and with the penetration of massive variable renewable energy like wind and solar, the […]

Game of Forecast

As per F&S regulations, it is clear that the wind and solar power generators connected to the State grid shall, either by themselves or through a QCA or through an Aggregator, Considering National Action Plan on Climate Change, Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), India’s national policies and other initiatives encouraging renewable, India has a massive target […]

A Brief Perspective on Aggregated Forecast of Solar Power Generation

The solar power generation shows a promising future in India. But due to the variability and intermittency, large scale renewable energy penetration in existing grid is a challenge and the proper policy and regulatory mechanisms, technological solutions and institutional structures are key issues in solar energy penetration. The ‘Forecasting and Scheduling’ (F&S) of variable renewable […]

Forecasting Solar Power Generation in India: A Path of Unnecessary Revisions

  To achieve 40% of total installed capacity (power generation) from renewable energy by 2030 as per India’s NDC goal, India has a target of 175 gigawatt (GW) of installed capacity from renewable energy by 2022, of which 100GW is to come from solar, 60GW from wind. Taking India as an evolving place to put […]
