1. SIMULATING RE HYBRID DEVELOPMENT IN INDIA
Presented By:
Dr. JAMI HOSSAIN & Dr. DEEPSHIKHA SHARMA WinDForce Management Services Pvt. Ltd.
Enabling High Efficiency and Reliable Wind Power Projects

2. Global Electricity Access
1.5 bn people are assessed to be without grid

3. Outline Distributed Power Generation & Hybrid Systems
Benefits of hybrid systems over traditional
Wind-Solar Hybrid Systems & its application
Opportunities in Asia
Challenges while implementing wind-solar hybrid
Other concerns
Case Studies

4. Distributed Power Generation Hybrid System
Generation near the place of use or close to the load being served
Combining multiple sources to deliver firm electricity
Distributed wind-solar hybrid systems offer an attractive and practical approach to meet reliable electricity needs in rural communities around the globe

5. Benefits of Distributed Hybrid System
Electricity production in rural areas, where
Decentralized feature allows an economically viable competition with conventional grid extension
Transport costs of conventional fuel, taking a population density to be served and transport infrastructure
Nearest grid infrastructure is already unreliable and overloaded

6. Application of Wind-Solar Hybrid System
Domestic
Household/ Village power
Farms
Remote houses
Commercial
Street lamps
Building rooftop
Car parking
Industrial
Ice making
Heating
Refrigeration
Productive
Water Pumping
Seawater desalination
Technical
Signaling
Sailboats
Mini-grid

7. Opportunities in Asia Well suited for use in remote locations
Hybrid systems can serve standalone mini-grids, thus avoiding costly transmission costs
Increased capability of integrating renewable energy production into the electricity mix reduces the costs of transporting fuel to remote areas
Well suited for combined heat and power production or district heating
Reduce reliance on fossil fuels
Increasing the eco-efficiency of energy production and energy security
Can reduce energy costs in the long run by offsetting fossil fuel use
Setting up isolated grids can help provide modern energy access to remote areas and avoid the cost of expensive transmission and distribution lines from the central grid

8. Challenges while Implementing Asia
System Cost
Project Sizing
Logistics Cost
Low Volume Production
Design
Manufacturers’ support
Higher warranty period
Longer term for pilot projects
Grid Connection
Regional infrastructure
Lack of Resource Assessment
Policy
Others
Lack of Net metering and FIT
Permitting and Zoning issues
Subsidy
How much?
By whom?
Testing and Standardization
Operation, performance and Reliability
Long term O&M
Local trained operator
Management
Weather/ environment

9. Other Concerns Institutional Pilot project characteristics
local partner, maintenance, tariff design, development coordination, delivery, planning tools, economics
Pilot project characteristics
performance, replication mindset, one of a kind, proving technology, loads, performance monitoring, buy down, multiple projects
Implementation process
political will, duration, commercial replication, solution bias, administration
Operational issues
meters, energy efficiency, maintenance
Technology development needs
Systems up gradation, controls, resource data, integrator

10. Case Study: India Scenario
The market is driven mostly by the capital subsidy programme of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, started way back in 1994–95
Imported and indigenously manufactured or assembled aero-generators are covered under the scheme
The manufacturers of SWT will have to get their aero generator model/s empanelled with MNRE based on type testing/certification for design requirement and power performance and for safety by NIWE
Small wind and Hybrid system installation in India

11. Barriers faced in India
BARRIERS IN INDIA
Market Access
Operation & Maintenance
High Cost
Grid Integration Standards
Testing, Certification and Standards
Noisy Operation
Low Wind Regime Technology
Lack of Awareness
Policies and Regulation
Lack of Skilled Manpower
Non diverse product availability

12. REZ Gujarat: Case Study
METHODOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK

14. Wind speed data has been ground-truthed with the data from existing CWET masts
70 CWET Wind masts in Gujarat
Land Use Land Cover (LULC) classification of the state has been done using GIS
Mesomap modelling of wind speed over the entire state has been developed using ranking criteria for different LULC types

16. Wind resource map at 100 m height has been prepared for the entire state and wind speeds have been ranked as follows:
Classname
Wind Speed (m/s) A
7.5 – 8.0 B
7.0 – 7.5 C
6.5 – 7.0 D
6.0 – 6.5 E
5.5 – 6.0 F

17. Then the 20 sites have been selected on the basis of the best wind speed class vis-à-vis best LULC rank (see table below):
Wind Speed (m/s)
LULC rank
Class A 2 2A B 1 1B
Finally, Solar map and Biomass map for the state have also been prepared.

18. Identified REZ sites with PGCIL Network

19. Solar Map

20. Biomass Map

21. Preliminary studies for Karnataka State

22. YES!
It can happen!
