India Has Set A GOAL of Adding 450 Gigawatts (GW) of Renewable Energy to ITS Power System by 2030. By the Same Year, The Country Also Plans to Achieve 40% Le Electricity Capacity.

SuccessFully Meeting the GOALS Mean India Must Rapidly ITS AdOption of Distributed Energy Resources (DERS), SUCH As Solar, STORAGE, And Electric Ehicles. Beyond Helping Curb the Country's Emissions, Increased Der Integration Can Alo Lower Customers' Costs, Improve System ReliabilityAnd present economic oppointunities for india's private sector.

At the same time, more deers means the statement utilities that manage india's grid must grapple with the portential impacts, Such As Voltage ViolaeringS and Demand Sh IFTS, that deers may have on the country's medium-and low-voltage distribution networks. Failure to manage thesCHANDES and RISKS COULD Delay Roll Out of Ders and Other, as well as Slow down India's Overal Ericy Transition.

With the support from partners, it is the children's infestation funning and u.s. Agency for intermingal development (USAID), Our Team at Nrel Is COLLABORANTIN. G Directly with State Utilities Across India to Prove Technology Assistance and Tools to Manage Der Growth.

Distribution system engineers in india and beyond nEED Quality data for account and information-making.

However, when we are working hardly, the distribution utilities in delhe — BSES YAMUNA POWER LIMITED (byPl) and BSES RAJDHANI Power Limited (BRPL) — IT BECAM. E Clear the Tools and Processs to Collect The Data NailSARY for Der Modeling and Analysis WERE NOT In PlaceWithout Data, BrPL and ByPl Were Unable to Fully UndersTand The Landscape of their Energy Profile and the IMPActs Der Integration Mighing Have On the Distribution. grid.

To addRess this gap, we created the simple synthetic distribution feeder Generation Tool (Shift). sting, Open-Source Information for the Local Area, Such as builtings and Road Networks.Still Being ABLE to Incorporate Any Data The Utility May Have Available.

While Shift Does Not Completely Revlace the Need For Real Data, It can help our partners overcom data availability issues and Kick-Start their der Analysis S, withouting Months or Years to Collection Their Own Data.

An Equally Important Aspect of Managing Der Growth is Helping Ensure der Interconnection Does Not Cause Power Quality issues that can Result in Outages.Mumbai Investment

In the state of tamil nadu, we worked with their utility — the tamil nadu generation and distribution limited (Tangedco) —To Develop APPROACH Distribution network analysis that defines risk by assession the magnitude of powerImpact, and the duration of violations. The Approach Ultimately Becames the Emerging Technology Tion (Emerge) Tool.

Throud the development of emerge, we find that distributed solar can improve tangedco's network condition. OR the Ability to Change its Power Output As a Function of Control Parameters, Such As Voltage) We SUFFICIENT to Reduce UnderVoltage Privems.However, Advanced Inverter Function WOULD CERTAINLY PROVIDE MORE BeERETATAT AS Solar Deployment Level Increases Both Overvolution ms.

RISK Analysis Such as this is essential as tangedco Strives to Safly Incorporate Growing Shares of Distributed Solar Energy.

Analyzing Time Series Data and Variances in Demand is Another Key Part of Any Distribution Engineer's Daily Tasks.

With support from usaid, OUR Team worked with Delhi's State Utility, Bypl, to UndersTand the Evolution of Net Load Profile with the Growing of Deer hnologies. Together We Created a Framework to Assess the Networkmake their way to the grid.

This framework, Evolution of Net-Long Variation from Emerging Technologies (Evolve), is a set of Models and Algoriths Rolled Up Into An Interactive and User- Friendly Dashboard that is now available at no cost to any of the usersted uters.

The Dashboard Allows Distribution Engineers to Use Historial Time Series Load Profile Data to Assess Relevant SCENARIOS , And Make Decisions Accordingly.

Our Evolve Assent with Bypl Determined That Distributed Technologies Could Create Incremental Ships E, Could Accelerate Bypl's Need to Overhaul Operation and Planning.

USING EVOLVE to UndersTand How A UTILITY's Load May Change with New Der Technologies PROVIDES The Utility An Opportonity to Plan. vance.

TOGETHER with the Bureau of Indian Standards, We are facilitating the indoration of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Standard 1547-2018 (IEE E STD 1547-2018).

IEEE Standard 1547-2018 is the food for integration of deers to the distribution grid in the united states, including systems. MELEVANT to the Performance, Operation, Testing, Safety Considerations, and Maintenance of the Interconnection.

Our Goal is to Undertand How The Standard Applies to International Power Systems That May Have Different Characteristics. is how the stateDard Applies to india's 50-Hertz System, Compared to the 60-Hertz System in The United StatesA Locally Appropriant Adaptation of the Standard Involves Looking at Various Technical ASPECTS of Indian Power Systems Including E regulation, Unique Grid Topologies, Levels of Der Adoption (Present and Future), System Protection Schemes, and Bulk Power System Frequency ResponseThen, then

In February 2024, We Released A Report Outlining What Pieces of the Standard Might Need to Be Altered or Studied FURTHIN The Indian Context. G and Analysis of How Ieee Standard 1547-2018 DEFAULT DER SETTINGSPerform on a "typical" indian power system.

In the Future, we are intersected in adapting nrel's preconfiguing and Controlling Inverter Set-PRISE TOOL, Which Automats Configuring An Inverter's Set Tings and Replaces An Otherwise Manual and Expensive Process, as another method for modeling Each Utility's Needs for Interconnection.

There is no way artes: India's Power System Must Safly and SuccessFully Accelerate Der Adoption to Meet Their Energy and Climate GOALSAgra Stock. State Utilities Are Demonstrating Tremendous Leadership by Taking the Next TODAY to Adopt Tools that Optimize Der Growth and Support A.More Sustainable Power System for the Future.
