Key Issue for system operation:
Generation ramp up in morning and ramp down in evening
Sudden variation in generation due to cloud cover
• Collection & maintain Energy data.
• Developed forecasting mechanism of RE (Wind) & Solar Forecastprovided by Solar Plants / developers.
• Day Ahead Forecasting data of Gujarat demand & RE is beingutilized to plan the RSD of conventional generator.
• Same Day (Intra-day) forecasting of RE is being utilized to pick upand Back down of conventional generation (Tech & Coal Minimum):
planning gas based generation, mainly in peak,schedule of hydro generation,revise schedule for central sector generation
• Accordingly to manage the system demand of Gujarat State.

o Provide weather sensor at solar plant by RE Developer .
o Regulation on RE grid management (Harmonics, Reactive power etc.) complied
by RE developers.
o Submit the static (Name plate data) & variable data (Generation and weather
data – Historical as well as real time) to SLDC by RE developers.
o Monitoring, maintenance and continuity of Real time data of Solar Plant to SLDC
by RE developers.
o Technically sound official who carry out real time action / operation as per
requirement of plant and SLDC instruction.
Way Forward
SLDC
SLDC
• Centralized accurate forecasting (SLDC / RLDC / NLDC & by REDeveloper)
• The transmission constrain right from solar plant to EHV s/s tobe examine case by case and necessary augmentation andstrengthening of lines / upward transmission system to bedecided.
• All RE approvals, now onwards, to be granted only after systemstudy and network development.
Way Forward
SLDC
• CERC may enhance OD / UD limit as per RE variation.
• To overcome, UD / OD draw at State periphery due to RE,Appropriate Authority should facilitated State with cheaper fuelfor meaningful use as balancing.
• The operation of balancing plant for other State, policy to befinalized by Regulatory or appropriate body and RLDC shouldencourage without any additional charges up to transmissioncapacity.
• The energy banking between two State without any financialtransaction is seems to be very viable solution. Only RLDC needto be flexible encourage such transaction.
Way Forward
SLDC
• Preferable location of Balancing Plants - Nearest to Wind Farm /Solar Plants is having Installed Capacity of 100 MW & above.
• AGC control, flexible generation by thermal plant- designparameter to be updated.
• RPO fulfil obligation to be compulsory - with penalty provision
• Increase the REC market
Way Forward
• Balancing through coal plants is not a good solution. Insteadfocus on pump storage
(Total 4786 MW = 2600 MW (working) + 2186 MW (Non working))
• Potential of pump storage in Gujarat
State owned Kadana Hydro Station- 60*4 MW has design capabilityand tail race reservoir already established.
Problem: Vibration is to be resolved (OEM, BHEL)
SSP 200*6 MW RBPH unit has technical capability of pump modeoperation. Tail race reservoir work has been awarded. Problem: Beingmulti State project, consent of each beneficiary is required and allpolicy level issues to be resolved. (NCA is a Nodal Agency)
Regulatory framework for pump mode operation will be requiredfrom Hon’ble commission.
Way Forward
SLDC
• All inoperative (2186 MW) pump mode hydro to be operativeon highest priority with plant wise follow up and monitoring athighest level of MoP, CEA and Utility.
• A research work may be entrusted to IIT like institute forconverting conventional hydro in to pump mode by change inturbine, additional tail race etc. which shall be mandatory infuture with 160 GW RE by 2020 - 22.
• Special focus on large size balancing with multi State beneficiaryeither of existing / inoperative / under construction project isMUST.
• New specially built / commenced balancing project to bedrafted as multi State.
Way Forward
o As prices continue to fall, solar energy is increasingly becoming an economical
energy choice for homeowners and businesses. Still, the biggest hurdle to
affordable solar energy remains the soft costs like permitting, zoning, and
hooking a solar system up to the power grid. (However, solar policy of State is
showing a detail process and certain clarification).
o To achieve 100 GW Solar generation aim by 2022 in effective manner with
safe & secure grid operation, the effective homogeneous co-ordination is
required between Solar Developers and System operators along with
regulatory and Government guidance / guideline.
