TOPIC: Renewable Energy Penetration: Challenges and Solutions

Abstract

Renewables are seemingly more attractive low carbon option to replace the traditional sources. But renewables are intermittent in nature and hence here the challenge lies that is matching with the load demand on instantaneous basis. Another important issue is the grid management from inertia point of view which further develops another critical issue that is rate of change of frequency deviation (ROCOF). Coordination over different time horizons and energy sectors are required. In India it faces three principal challenges:

  1. How to expand reliable energy access and use with financial stability;
  2. Integrating in a secure and reliable manner;
  3. Policy and tariff reforms can tap into demand response potential.
