8. Limited Fuels:
at present consumption levels
Crude oil will last only for
18 years.
Gas will last for 26 years.
Coal will be finished in
nearly 200 years.
Ever thought of a world
without gas and oil???
9. Factors which compel us to worry
• World got used to cheap oil
• Economy vulnerable to growing
imports
Volatility in
Prices: oil and
gas
• Imports from unstable parts of the
world
Energy
Security
• Emissions of criteria pollutants from
fossil fuel burning
Environmental
concerns:
10. Climate has changed and
continues to change..
– Global mean temperature has
increased 0 .5-1 o
F
– Global sea level has risen 4-10 inches
–Global precipitation over land has
increased 1%
– Projected temperature increase of 3.6 o
F
by 2100 (1.8-6.3 o
F)
– Projected sea level rise of 20 inches by
2100 (6-38 inches)
– Likely increase in precipitation intensity
11. Estimates indicate that approximately 80 percent of all
anthropogenic carbondioxide emissions currently come
from fossil fuel combustion.
Hence, WORLD ENERGY USE has emerged as the
center of the CLIMATE CHANGE DEBATE

35. Criteria for Site Selection
SITE SELECTION – PLAIN TERRAINS
SITE SELECTION – HILLY TERRAINS
High annual average Wind Speed ( > 7
m/sec.)
Altitude of the proposed site.
Nature of Ground (soil for proper foundation
/ civil work ).
Favorable environmental condition to
prevent corrosion & not prone to cyclone.

evacuation of electricity generated .
36. Solar in India : Potential & Prospects
1. India receives the highest global solar radiation on a
horizontal surface. According to solar energy experts, India
has considerable scope for solar energy production. India is
bestowed with solar irradiation ranging from 4-7 kWh/
sq. m/ day across the country.
2. The desert areas in India have the solar radiation required for
CSP(concentrating solar power technology) production. A 60
km x 60 km area can produce 1,00,000 MW of power. India
has a desert area of 2,08,110 Sq Kms in Rajasthan and
Gujarat. Even if India uses only 15,000 Sq. Kms of the
desert, it can produce 3,00,000 MW of power.
3. Government of India is currently envisaging large-scale
expansion of solar power capacity by 2022.

47. SCADA and telemetry
Due to dispersed and distributed nature of the wind
generation across a large geo-graphical area, telemetering
the data is a challenge
Real time data from wind turbines is metered and shall be
transmitted to the local control centre of each wind farm.
The net injection of the wind farm is also measured at the
pooling station and transmitted to the Area control centre
(SubLDC), which in turn is re-transmitted to SLDC
As of now only partial data is transmitted to RLDC.
Sometimes manually replaced data is sent
48. Protection requirements for RE
Reactive Compensation (to operate in the pf
range 0.95 lag to 0.95 lead)
Fault Ride Through (FRT) – A capability of a wind
generator s to be able to operate through periods
of lower grid voltage.
Preferred configuration of the grid connecting transformer
is delta connection on the wind farm side and grounded
wye connection on the transmission system (grid) side to
block the harmonics current and to detect the earth faults
on the grid side .
49. Efforts of Indian Regulators and policy
makers
• Creation of Power Market post ABT, Open Access, Power
Exchange
• ‘Cost-plus’ return on investment thro’ preferential tariff or
Feed In Tariff (FIT)
• Solar power is exempted from sharing transmission charges
and losses
• Accelerated Depreciation (AD) or Generation Based Incentive
(GBI) @50 paise/unit
• Capital/ interest subsidy, concessional excise and customs
duties etc.
• UI upto +/-30% socialised
50. • RE Sources Not evenly distributed across India
• Inhibits the SERCs of potential deficit states from high
RPO
• Potential rich states
• Already set higher RPO, still avenues left for new
plants
• Very high cost of generation from RE sources
(discourages local DISCOM to purchase beyond RPO)
• REC to address the mismatch between availability of
RE sources and the requirement of RPO
51. Government Initiative: National Action Plan
on Climate Change (NAPCC), 2008
10/1/2023
National level target for RE Purchase
5%of total grid purchase in 2010, to be increased by 1% each year
for 10 years: 15% by 2020
SERCs may set higher target
Appropriate authorities may issue certificates that procure RE in excess of
the national standard
Such certificates may be tradable, to enable utilities falling short to
meet their RPO
RE generation capacity needed: From 18000 to 45500 MW by FY2015
52. Eligibility of Wind Farms/Solar Generators for REC
Wind farms – 10 MW and above and Solar plants -
5MW and above, connected at 33 KV and above :
• Connectivity details to concerned SLDC/RLDC
• Declaration about agreement if any
• Provide details of Contracts and Contracted path to
the concerned SLDC RLDCRPC
• Generation forecast with periodic updates to
SLDC/RLDC
• To provide Data Acquisition System (DAS) facility to
SLDC/RLDC

62. Measures under implementation stage :
• Forecasting and Scheduling of Grid connected wind and Solar
generators
• Eligible generators would be required to forecast their generation
with a minimum accuracy of + 30%.
• Any deviation upto + 30% will not have any cost implication to the
Renewable Energy generator.
• The RE generator can enter in to contract to supply power to any
entity located any where in the country under Short Term Open
Access at a price negotiated bilaterally.
63. Approach thro’ Renewable Regulatory Fund:
• Achieve better generation prediction using weather
forecasting tools
• Immune wind generators from paying deviation in UI
charges up to a certain level of variation
• No UI charges payable/receivable by Solar Generator
• Socialise the deviation charges arrived due to variations
amongst different state utilities
• Develop a self sustaining mechanism towards better
acceptance of intermittent generation
64. Conclusion
•With Larger Grid interconnection …
The variability can be better handled.
•With Forecasting…
Operational planning can be better
executed
•With Scheduling ….
Accountability is induced
•With REC mechanism and trading across
seams…
RE will be an attractive business
