One third of India’s coal based power generation capacity should be made ready for flexible generation and dynamic simulation models could play a key role. The study reports supported by USAID & IGEF are pre-cursor to ascertain flexible operations for many of these units.

India’s transforming energy landscape, with its emphasis on renewable energy (RE), holds manifold promises for the country’s enhanced energy security, reduced oil imports, and improved air quality.

United States Agency for International Development (USAID)’s Greening the Grid-Renewable Integration and Sustainable Energy (GTG-RISE) initiative, the central component of Greening the Grid (GTG) program, is a bilateral program with the Ministry of Power, Government of India, under the U.S.-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (SCEP).

USAID/India‘s Greening the Grid (GTG) – Renewable Integration and Sustainable Energy (RISE) initiative (referred to as ―RISE‖ hereafter), focuses primarily on implementing a set of innovative pilots, which are multiimplementer work programs aimed at testing and evaluating building blocks to improve the integration of high levels of renewable energy (RE) in India‘s state and national power grids. AGC pilot discussed in this paper is one among the pilots proposed under RISE initiative.

The addition of RE in Gujarat changes net load, which is the load that is not met by RE and therefore must be met by conventional generation. Due to changes in net load, hydro and thermal plants operate differently in higher RE scenarios.

The addition of RE in Andhra Pradesh changes net load, which is the load that is not met by RE and therefore must be met by conventional generation. Due to changes in net load, hydro and thermal plants operate differently in higher RE scenarios.

The purpose of this report is to understand the regulatory dimensions to renewable energy forecasting, scheduling, and balancing in India’s power grid.

The Government of India is working to deploy unprecedented levels of renewable energy (RE) on its power grid. Getting a large quantum of RE on the gird will allow India to greatly reduce its economy’s carbon intensity and substantially strengthen the country’s energy security.

Renewable energy (RE) generation in India has been on a steady rise. Ensuring the power system’s reliability in the face of increased RE penetration is critical
