Clean energy in india
The Greening the Grid study used a state-of-the-art model to show how the India power system balances generation and demand for every 15-minute interval of the year. States can better integrate high levels of wind and solar through enhanced coordination and increased flexible operation of existing thermal plants. To access full results, see Greening the Grid — India.
The government of India has laid out an ambitious goal: 175 gigawatts (GW) of installed renewable capacity by 2022, including 100 GW of solar and 60 GW of wind. To meet this goal, it turned to a team of specialists from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, India’s Power System Operator, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The team helped India determine the impacts of operating a power system with this level of wind and solar and to identify actions to improve renewable energy integration.
