India’s Huge New Energy Potential

Study shows India can integrate 175 GW of renewable energy into its electricity grid July 25, 2017 (PhysOrg)

“…[India has the technical and economic potential to integrate 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy into its grid by 2022, according to Greening The Grid: Pathways to Integrate 175 Gigawatts of Renewable Energy into India’s Electric Grid, Vol. I—National Study . It used] advanced weather and power system modeling to answer many questions about how India's electricity grid can manage the variability and uncertainty of India's ambitious 2022 renewable energy target of 175 GW of installed capacity, including 100 GW of solar and 60 GW of wind, up from 9 GW of solar and 29 GW wind installed today…The results demonstrate that power system balancing, where supply of electricity meets the demand, with 100 GW solar and 60 GW wind is achievable with minimal renewable energy curtailment…” click here for more
