The document discusses a roadmap for integrating renewable energy through large-scale energy storage in Puducherry's smart grid pilot project. It provides background on India's renewable energy targets and challenges of integrating intermittent renewables. The objectives are to develop a techno-commercial model to guide decisions on energy storage and set up India's first 5MW grid-integrated energy storage pilot project. Different energy storage technologies are compared and international case studies presented, including a wind/solar plus storage project in China. The document models how energy storage could improve a renewable energy plant's capacity utilization factor and revenue by storing excess power for sale during peak periods.

1. Roadmap formulation for Grid Integration of
Renewable Energy through Large Scale Energy Storage
for Puducherry SMART GRID Pilot Project
Presenter: Partha Deb

Great Lakes Institute of Energy Management

2. Background of the Project
• NAPCC’s ambitious target of 15% Renewable Energy by 2020
• But Grid is already facing tough time in assimilating highly
intermittent RE Power
• PowerGrid is determined to set up a SMART Transmission
GRID
• Special Task Force-Smart Grid Department of Power Grid has
taken initiative of seamless integration of RE into the Grid.
• Solutions to be Tested in India’s First SMARTGRID PILOT
PROJECT in Puducherry.
“Last year’s grid failure was primarily due to lack of grid discipline. A lot of
work has since been done. With the narrowing of frequency band & application
of Energy Storage-the load management will be strengthened and become
stricter,” said R.N. Nayak, chairman and managing director of Power Grid
Corp. of India Ltd (PGCIL).

3. Need Of The Project: RE Integration to the Grid
• Intermittency of RE and its corresponding
impact on prices;
• Transmission availability and cost of
transmission expansion;
• Timing of generation and correlation of RE with
the demand (essentially the net demand in the
system);
• Impact on plant load factors(PLF) of other
resources in the system (and hence the average
costs of such resources);
• Step changes in generation and corresponding
impact on grid management;
• Risks on account of the above and its
corresponding impact on the investment climate
for RE.

4. Objectives of the Project
Primary Objective
• Roadmap formulation of RE Integration through Electrical Energy Storage (EES)
• To set up a Techno-Commercial Model to guide Investors, Developers, Power Utilities &
Regulators to take Decisions on EES
• Set-up a range of variability factor for Competitive bidding
• A Model set-up for showing Investment friendliness in some promising energy storage
technologies
• To show how IPP can gain from EES enabled RE Plant
• Initiating India’s First, Grid Integrated Large Scale Energy Storage (5MW) Pilot Project
Secondary Objective
• Peak Load Shaving & Load Management
• Quality Power & Effective connection to grid
• Paving the way for EV and mobile appliances
• RE Tariff Reduction thus increasing RE attractiveness
• Formation of SMART MICRO-GRID

Technical Challenges of integrating RES/DERs
Because of high seasonality we loose huge amount of Power, Generated from RE Plant at
their Peak Time because of Transmission Unavailability

6. Forecasting
• CERC has set the target at +/-30%
for day ahead. Otherwise generators
will be susceptible to UI charges.
(Generators are resisting)
• In Germany it is the responsibility of
the System Operator.
• Forecasting allows for system
planning.
Tools:
• Tools usually integrate customized
numerical weather prediction models
with thousands of real-time surface
observations.

29. Market-Shape under Energy Storage

30. Basic Information
• It’s a Model of 5 MW RE Plant with 2 MW Storage Capacity
• In this model all the Tariff calculation is without Tax Subsidy
• There are altogether 11 types Storage Technology considered for the model
• All other financial assumptions is as per CERC Guidelines
How it Operates
• Plant Operator, with the help of Storage, can control the energy output i.e. store
during off-peak hours & sell at peak hours thus can earn extra revenue
• Second, energy storage help to reduce the net cost of transmission by increasing
the reliability of power sales by storing power when the local system is fully
loaded
• Lowers the Network congestion charge imposed on Tariff to end consumer
• There exists the possibility of even using the energy storage facility to simply
arbitrage grid power by pulling in power from the grid during periods of no
Sun/Wind and selling that during peak demand periods
• The Project under Case-II & III qualifies for CDM
