ANANDIBEN PATEL SHRI SAURABHBHAI PATEL SHRI GOVINDBHAI PATEL Hon’ble Chief Minister, Gujarat Hon’ble Minister Energy & Hon’ble Minister of State Energy & Petrochemicals, Petrochemicals, Government of Gujarat Government of Gujarat Mr. Mohinder Gulati Chief Operating Officer of the Sustainable Energy for Partner Organization National Partner Knowledge Partner All Initiative SESSION 1 : SEMINAR STRUCTURE & SCHEDULE LEVERAGING FRONTIER TECHNOLOGIES TO SCALE UP INTEGRATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY With technological advancements, global installations and deployment of renewable energy have picked up pace, and countries world over have started to appreciate the need to link energy management with sustainability and cost efficiency INTRODUCTION in the long run. Vibrant Gujarat 2015, with a focus on building a better energy future, is hosting this thematic seminar, Thanks to technological improvements and dramatic cost compared to solar power. However there is a scope for harnessing in association with the United Nations Secretary General’s initiative called Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL), on the reductions in renewable energy technologies over the last decade, much larger potential from wind energy and this get reflected in In a burgeoning economy, global population is 12th of January, 2015. Discussions at the event will kick start with the current hurdles and possible solutions in bettering meeting a substantial share of electricity demand from solar or the target to install 50 GW capacity from wind by 2022. Major wind sources is now becoming economically feasible for many challenges loom ahead with these ambitious targets, such as the expected to reach over 8 billion by 2030, with the deployment of frontier renewable technologies, analyzing concerned policy frameworks and commercial viabilities. Notable disruptive technologies and R&D in sectors such as Solar Power and Energy Storage will form the base for the countries. In particular, there is an unprecedented interest in coordination with transmission planning for the evacuation of world primary energy consumption poised to next round of discussions on ensuring energy sustainability in our global ecosystems. Global best practices in energy solar photovoltaic systems. According to REN21, in 2013 the power towards demand centres and the integration of highly management, in urban as well as rural landscapes, and in energy intensive sectors such agriculture, public lighting will also total installed capacity of solar PV accounted for 32% of all newly variable non-controllable generation into a complex power system. grow by almost 1.6% between 2011 and 2030. installed renewable power, surpassing annual wind installations be discussed through the lens of energy efficiency over the course of the seminar. Bringing together a select gathering of This session will provide an overview the technical, commercial worldwide for the first year ever. These gains in solar PV are Amidst rising costs of harnessing energy, there is academicians, researchers, technocrats, policy makers and captains in the field of energy management, the seminar will and regulatory challenges that emerge when integrating significant. a need to utilize every possible source of energy provide a platform to brainstorm over the Indian sustainable energy future, and the role of India in achieving the global renewables into power systems, analysing its implications in terms vision of Sustainable Energy for All. India is endowed with abundant solar resources and is determined of operations, planning, costs and policy making. Subsequently, in a sustainable manner. Promoting sustainable to harness them. India has installed 3GW of solar power over the session will turn towards the potential role of utility scale and energy is also linked to ensuring better education, the last four years, a remarkable achievement by itself, but one distributed solar systems in future grids and how advancements in that constitutes a stride towards a much more ambitious plan to storage technologies could help complement solar generation to healthcare and environment protection, which can install 100GW of solar capacity by 2022. In India the wind power reduce overall generation costs and increase the quality of power boost global efforts to meet the lofty Millennium generation potential has so far been exploited in a larger scale supply. Development Goals. In this context, renewable energy and energy efficiency stand out as key architects of a sustainable global energy scenario. For blooming economies like India, the energy sector represents a basket of opportunities for socio- economic development. While on one hand, India is blessed with abundant natural resources and renewable energy potential, on the other, millions of people in India still lack access to basic energy.
