“…Certain characteristics of the National Electricity Grid in India need to be mentioned early on. The electricity grid in India has evolved from a regional grid structure to a National Grid in recent years' (Yadav et al, 2005;Pradeep et al, 2007;Mukhopadhyay et al, 2012). The National Grid is largely public sector owned, with central and state entities making up the bulk of the power evacuation and implementation system and the role of private parties largely limited to independent generation units, or at maximum, as distribution companies (Aayog, 2015a).…”

Renewable energy penetration in India is strongly linked to growing energy consumption, energy security and access to energy. Variable energy sources, viz. solar, small hydro power and wind energy form a significant share of India's energy mix. High intermittency in these technologies can lead to system related operational issues such as varying power quality and unreliability. On the other hand, grid integration of renewable energy projects is essential for bringing about an increase in the renewable component of regional and national energy mix. This paper analyses the existing status, technical and systemic challenges in large scale integration of renewable energy sources. In order to understand the complexities therein, the experiences of renewable energy service providers were supplemented by secondary literature. This paper adopts a system-based view for analysing issues of renewable energy integration and up-scaling for India, encompassing technical, infrastructural, and user specific aspects. It stresses the specific interventions that would bolster system strength and readiness for a renewable rich India. It also highlights key challenges of power quality, constancy and grid balancing and each one's unique position in a sustainable energy future for India.

“…More energy players should be introduced in the market [70]. The ownership of state and central governments often leads to mismanagement [71]. The management should be such that it is able to take decisions based on market interventions and should be able to adopt new technological advancements [71].…”

“…The management should be such that it is able to take decisions based on market interventions and should be able to adopt new technological advancements [71]. Hence, a change in the management of the network is the need of the hour [71]. India has a rigid non-time-differentiated tariff structure for electricity, which needs to be modified, which can accommodate the feed in tariffs and real-time pricing strategy.…”
