This paper presents the resource variability analysis of the 250-MW NP Kunta solar plant site. The paper also demonstrates the use of publicly available resource quality data, which can be utilized by various stakeholders to better understand the variability of any existing or potential RE site in India and possibly increase confidence in decisions or help to understand the impacts that can be expected.

The active power distribution network operation with the integration of variable renewable energy sources, storage units, and dynamic loads are attracting a lot of
interest due to substantial benefits in maximizing the penetration of RES. However, the risk of voltage violation in the power system is increased due to increasing the penetration of DGs/RES [1]-[3].

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.
