Abstract

India is aiming at a large scale integration of renewable energy with an ambitious target of 100 GW solar and 60 GW wind, by 2022. For economical and optimal integration of such a high renewable energy (RE) capacity, detailed planning based on meteorological data is necessary. This study uses time series of wind and solar resource data in order to quantify the correlation, smoothing effect, simultaneity and seasonality at various spatial scales over the whole country. Additionally, a simplified power plant dispatch optimization for the state of Rajasthan has been done, for specific future scenarios. This attempt at assessing the grid impacts of variable Renewable Energy (vRE) for India could be a foundation block for vRE Integration efforts.
