Pathways to Integrate 175 Gigawatts of Renewable Energy into India’s Electric Grid- Gujrat

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.
