Case Study
Based on web research, comment on the shape of wind energy projects in India and study specific locations state wise. Is there a scope of inter-state investments and power being wheeled to a different location? If so, what are the risks?
Reference Scenario: Most Conservative of all and is based on 2009 World energy outlook. Moderate Scenario: It takes into account all the measures to support renewable energy either enacted or in the planning stages around the world. Advanced Scenario: It examines the extent to which the industry could grow in the best case wind energy vision.
Reference Scenario
IEA( International Energy Agency) Scenario The power market to shrink to about 600 MW per year by 2030 Total Installed capacity merely 24GW by 2020 and 30.5 GW by 2030 Which would produce close to 60TWh year by 2020 and 75TWh year by 2030.
Moderate Scenario
GWEC( Global Wind Energy Council) gave the GWEO( Global wind energy Outlook) scenario By the end of 2015 between 24.7 GW to 29 GW will be installed. Which will give 46 GW by 2020 and 108 GW by 2030. Under this scenario $900 billion will be invested in Wind Energy Employment will also increase to 28,000 to over 84,000 by 2020 and 1,13,000 by 2030
Advance Scenario
GWEO advance Scenario will reach new heights depending on the adequate regulatory support and political will. By 2020 India will have 65GW on wind power. Employing 1,70,000 people saving 173 million tons of CO2 emission. WISE( World Institute of Sustainable energy) says deploying new generation wind turbines could yield potential onshore wind energy capacity
As mandated under section 86 1(e) of the Electricity Act (2003), 22 SERCs have fixed quotas (in terms of % of electricity being handled by the power utility) to procure power from renewable energy sources. The mandate, which is called a Renewable Purchase Specification. The state regulators determine the tariff for all RE projects in the states and ensure connectivity to the grid through extension of power evacuation from the RE project sites, which are generally at remote locations and away from major load centre's.
Wheeling Of Power
Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has proposed that wind power should be freely tradable across the country. Renewable Energy Certificate which allows the certificate holder to sell the power to the required states, individuals or other trading companies. A national registry under National Load Despatch Centre where the producer could register, which would monitor the supply of power to various states. This system would encourage competition and create market for power across the State.
Problems
Wind Farms are located in rural areas. Weak transmission and distribution network, its difficult to transmit wind power to load despatch centres. Increased ownership separation between grid operators and power generators the need for defining the technical requirements governing the relationship between them becomes essential. Forecasting and Scheduling of wind power. With accurate prediction of wind power generation, grid operators can plan effectively for the available power.
Smart Grid
Smart Grid, which in simple terms means intelligent power generation, transmission, distribution and management, as well as increasingly sophisticated levels of load management. The grid must be designed to be able to manage power flows from variable and geographically distributed generators to dispersed load centres. particularly in the case of RE sources (such as hydro, solar and wind) the generating resource could be distant from the load centre and power has to be transmitted across a national grid to dispersed load centres.
