Till recently, the on-shore wind power potential in India was officially estimated to be 49 GW, out of which 17 GW forms part of the country’s mainstream energy mix.
This collection of ten papers highlights some of the most pressing concerns for the countries of the global South.
The power curve of a wind turbine grows exponentially as a function of wind-velocity if the measured wind-velocity varies between the cut-in velocity and the rated velocity In this study, we propose an empirical, two-parameter explicit model of the power curve for a wind turbine.
Due to stochastic nature of wind distribution, wind power output comes with unscheduled changes called ramp events.
This study was commissioned by Karnataka Electricity Regulatory Commission (KERC) to identify key implementable strategies for the state of Karnataka for achieving the objectives of 24x7 Power for All The study describes the power supply scenario in the State including estimates for future energy demand The status of 24x7 power supply is analysed along the dimensions of access (electrification), adequacy (per capita consumption), affordability (cost of supply), availability (duration of supply), and reliability Future plans for generation capacity are analysed to determine the range of foreseeable shortfalls till Financial Year (FY) 2020 Transmission capacity augmentation, renewable energy and energy efficiency options available to meet future demand are discussed in detail The report concludes with the strategies that Karnataka should focus on in order to achieve the objectives of 24x7 Power for All.
Short-term variability of utility-scale solar PhotoVoltaic (PV) plant is a significant issue for grid reliability.
CSTEP research report.
India's growing economy requires an adequate supply of energy.
India’s present installed capacity, 1,62,366.
The State’s capacity addition plans seem inadequate to meet projected demand in the next 5 years.
Short-term variability in the power generated by utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) plants is a cause for concern for power system operators.
Lessons can be learned from countries like Germany, which have offered two billon euros worth support and its experience in renewable energy penetration.
Solar power plants are expected to play a significant role in India’s power sector.
This study evaluates options for deployment configurations of current CSP technologies that may decrease the LCOE or exploit other attributes of the technology that could make it a more attractive investment in India (e.
