Wind Energy Sector in India
Wind capacity deployment –4 times in less than 10 years Still not considered mainstream power source Better understanding of some key aspects can lead to aggressive deployment

Potential Estimates for India at 80m (GW)
Wind Potential and Location
Wind has limited potential and is far awayfrom load centres!
Potential not a constraint, close to load centres

Availibility of Wind Power
Wind Power is intermitent!
Scheduling and forecasting mechanisms enhance predictability
Wind penetration in Spain–17.1% in 201118.1% in 2012
Wind is Variable but not predictable

Integration of Wind Power with the Grid
Very difficult to manage!
Possible to integrate with presence of
Well defined grid planning and operation principles Balancing power and associated cost sharing/market mechanisms Regional cooperation
Possible immediate solutions
RE investment zones along with transmission planning Flexible and fast ramping generating/consumption options Conventional fuels as bridge to RE
Variable RE (wind) can be integrated with the grid at large scale

In comparison to Conventional Power
Wind cannot replace conventional power!
Wind can serve base load

Wind sector performance in India
Wind sector performance has been grim!
>70% of India’s RE capacity; ~10% of power capacity; ~50% of RE generation Improving CUFs and net foreign revenue earner for India’s economy*
Saved ~41 million tonnes of coal imports during 11th Plan Estimated forex savings of ~INR 19,800 cr during 11th Plan
Wind leads RE development in India and adds economic value
