Regulatory Updates
Earlier this year, the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC)
introduced a robust framework to strengthen forecasting in the renewables
sector in India. The CERC also issued the Indian Electricity Grid Code (Third
Amendment) Regulations, 2015 and Deviation Settlement Mechanism and
related matters (Second Amendment), Regulations 2015.
Based on comments from all stakeholders during a public hearing at New
Delhi, the CERC recently published a Statement of Reasons document
detailing the importance of wind/solar energy forecasting. The regulation
laid down the detailed aspects of wind/solar energy forecasting to be done by
generators in India. The mechanism is applicable from November 1, 2015.
The key features of the mechanism are mentioned below:
 The mechanism shall be applicable to wind and solar generators.
 Scheduling of wind generators have been made mandatory for
aggregated capacity of 50 MW and above.
 The maximum number of revisions has been increased from 8 to 16.
 A new forecast error computation formula has been formulated, which
is: =100*(Scheduled Generation-Actual Generation)/Available
Capacity.
 The penalties for deviation have been computed as per Power
Purchase Agreements and shall be levied for any deviation beyond +/-
15%
Note that as per the present mechanism, wind power projects may lose upto
30% of their revenues in the absence of sophisticated wind generation
forecasting technologies
