Abstract
India has a massive Renewable Capacity addition program and the pace of renewable addition has prompted justifiable concerns about grid balancing and stability. An influential study commissioned by India’s Ministry of Power finds that the 175 (NERL, https://www.nrel.gov/analysis/india-renewable-integration-study.html) GW renewable capacity target could be met with ‘all generating stations exploiting their inherent ramping abilities’ and hydropower being repositioned to satisfy peak demand, after the sun sets.
