(For Internal Circulation only) From the Desk of the Chairman - IWTMA Dear Readers, Greetings from IWTMA! The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has announced the 2nd Edition of RE-Invest in February 2016. The inaugural session of RE-Invest 2015 inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, made the industry think from MW to GW with a laudable target of 100 GW of Solar, 60 GW of Wind and 15 GW from other RE sources. The endorsement of enthusiasm is still active in the minds of the manufacturing community and the investment community and to a large extent the financial institutions as well. However, State issues of Policies and Regulations on a concurrent subject like power is not allowing capacity addition to take place as the industry expected. As against a target of 4 GW in 2015-16, the industry lingers around 2.2 GW to 2.3 GW annually. To address this issue, IWTMA along with CII-GBC is conducting Regional Workshops in prominent wind states with all the stakeholders as they are the prime movers in this number crunching game. The Regional Workshops will cover the states of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh and culminate with a National Conclave in Delhi. Various agencies have estimated the wind resource potential of the country and we now have final official Wind Resource Assessment document from National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE) with a potential of 302 GW. This was formally launched by the Hon’ble Minister for Coal, Power and Renewable Energy, Shri. Piyush Goyal, recently in Delhi. While the Green Corridor Development Programme to help connectivity and evacuation is progressing, Government is seized of the exciting opportunities in interstate transaction and not limit to the host state alone. The industry expects waiver of CTU charges and rationalizing STU charges. Wind Power over the years has carried the label of infirm power which is a limitation to higher penetration and a source worry for the State Load Management Centre. Forecasting and Scheduling and its techniques have been practiced in many countries. NIWE has taken up a programme along with MNRE, TANGEDCO and IWPA for forecasting and scheduling of wind power in Tamil Nadu. Similarly, IWTMA has taken up a programme in Rajasthan to be replicated in other wind states. In this issue of ‘INDIAN WIND POWER’, we have a special theme on Forecasting and Scheduling with articles contributed by renowned persons in this field. COP21 on Climate Change and Global Warming is due in November ’15 in Paris. Many countries are endorsing energy security through RE sources and a few countries have given up coal and oil stocks. IWTMA dedicates itself for energy contribution to control pollution and carbon foot print. We do hope that the thinkers and planners of our country share the same thoughts in our movement towards “Clean Green Power Forever”. Wishing our Readers a Happy Dussehra and Colourful Diwali to brighten our hopes and future of our nation. With warm regards, Madhusudan Khemka Chairman 2 Indian Wind Power August - September 2015 August - September 2015 Indian Wind Power 3 By 2020 Denmark to Meet its 50% Wind Energy Target With contribution from the Danish Wind Industry Association - by Shruti Shukla (Director, Policy and Projects, GWEC) expected to happen more frequently in the future with more capacity to be built and integrated. Denmark used this surplus electricity in other parts of the energy system especially in the transport and heating sectors. The Danish district heating system covers over 60% of all buildings and provides excellent opportunities for using electricity at times when wind energy production is high and prices are low. Decades of successfully integrating wind energy into the power system have given Denmark the know-how and confidence to set a deadline for moving beyond fossil fuel use. According to Energinet.dk, the transmission system operator Denmark is a unique case study for wind power generation supplying Denmark with electricity and natural gas, Denmark and integration both onshore and offshore. The government’s is in the process of transitioning from an energy system ‘strategic intent’ is to carry this renewables based transition of where generation is adapted to consumption to one where its energy system to its logical end i.e. zero dependence on oil consumption is adapted to generation. Implementation of and gas. this long-term energy plan requires an increased scalability in By 2020 Denmark plans for wind energy to occupy a 50% energy production, consumption and trading. share of its electricity generation as part of its plans to phase Grid operators and energy companies are specialised in out fossil fuels by 2050. The share of wind power in the Danish forecasting the production and demand for renewable energy electricity consumption has increased steadily during the last in Denmark and neighbouring countries (Germany, Norway and three years from 30% in 2012, to 33% in 2013. In 2014, Sweden) as part of the Northern European power market. wind turbines provided 39.1% of Danish electricity. This share is expected to grow further this year. Further efforts are on-going to interlink to the Dutch and the UK power markets. Energinet.dk is working closely with the Today globally, Denmark has the highest consumption of wind transmission system operator TenneT, supplying the Dutch and energy on a per capita basis. In 2014, 860 kW of wind energy German markets, to build a 700 MW and 320 km submarine was installed per 1,000 Danish citizens. In comparison, this cable linking the Danish and Dutch electricity system. Energinet. number was 250 kW for the other EU-28 countries. dk is also working together with National Grid, the transmission Denmark has been a historical leader in the development of system operator in England to assess the possibilities of laying wind power technology. It has focused on developing a robust, a 600 km cable to the UK. transnational and flexible integrated energy system, which By 2035 wind is likely to meet 75% of the demand for heat is capable of handling large volumes of variable renewable and power, with about half of that coming from offshore wind energy generation. Denmark’s energy system provides secure capacity. Denmark’s experience with wind power can provide and stable electricity supply to its consumers, while increasingly valuable lessons for Indian grid operators and power producers integrating wind energy into the grid. towards meeting the government’s stated target of 175GW of From time to time there are days when wind turbines produce renewables based generation by 2022. more than a 100% of Denmark’s electricity needs.
