The website is named ‘VIDYUT PRAVAH – Electricity Price, Availability and Highlights’. The website/mobile app gives State wise prices discovered at IEX, quantum of power brought from the Exchange and the unsold volume at the Exchange along with deficit and surplus of each State. More information: www.vidyutpravah.in www.iexindia.com | 03 Market Insights MoP Report on Large Scale Integration of Renewable Energy The variable and intermittent nature of renewable energy can affect the secure and reliable operation of the grid. Therefore, to make the grid reliable, deviation handling, forecasting, balancing and ancillary services are a pre-requisite, at both inter-state and intra-state level. At the same time, increased penetration of renewable energy will require greater flexibility in conventional power generation, maintain frequency control and reserves. In order to study and suggest a roadmap, the Ministry of Power constituted a Technical Committee comprising of members from CERC, CEA, CTU, POSOCO, NTPC, NISE, MoP etc. The technical committee in its recently submitted report on "Large Scale Integration of Renewable Energy, need for balancing, Deviation Settlement Mechanism (DSM) and associated issues", has recommended the following action plan: 1. Regulatory Framework for handling Deviations A regulatory framework for inter and intra-state deviation, metering, accounting and settlement mechanism (including renewables), must be in place and implemented at the State level in 2016. This framework has already been implemented at the inter-state level and also in five States across the country. Subsequently, deviation price needs to be linked to market linked mechanism with suitable price discovery process. 2. Forecasting and Scheduling Forecasting for RE generation as well as load is essential for ensuring resource adequacy and grid security. This framework has already been put into place by the CERC at the inter-state level and the same can be used as a reference for the intra-state regulations. Model Regulations for regulatory framework for Forecasting, Scheduling and Imbalance Settlement for Renewable Energy (RE) generators have been published in 2015 and Draft regulations are already out in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Jharkhand. Rest of the States are in the process of formulation of the same. 3. Deployment of Reserves A framework for identification and utilising of generation reserves available with regulated generators needs to be implemented. Such reserves must be identified and kept available all the time for the system operator, in order to maintain grid reliability and security. Necessary incentives to the generator should also be given for maintaining and deploying the reserves. The regulatory framework for deployment of reserves at inter-state level has already been specified by the CERC. 4. Transmission System Augmentation and Strengthening Technical Standards for RE generation incorporating features like Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT), High Voltage Ride Through (HVRT) should be notified on an urgent basis by the Commission for the smooth functioning of the grid. 04 | www.iexindia.com 5. Ancillary Services In an electricity grid, some system support services such as frequency and voltage control are required for secure & reliable grid operation. These support services are known as ‘Ancillary Services’ and are basically procured and called into service by the System Operator. The regulatory framework for implementation of Ancillary Services Operations has already been notified by CERC and National Tariff Policy, 2016 also mandates implementation of Ancillary Services with NLDC as the designated Nodal agency for its implementation. 6. Balancing Requirements Each DISCOM/SLDC will be required to commit adequate generating resources to meet the anticipated load and RE generation. Therefore, a balanced portfolio will have to be maintained at the State level. 7. Frequency Control Regulatory framework for primary control supplemented by secondary control and tertiary control has to be put in place. The Roadmap for Frequency Response and Secondary Response has already been provided by the CERC. 8. Harnessing and Incentivizing Flexibility Provisions for meeting the changing load profile and maintaining system stability have to be made and implemented alongwith provisions for incentivizing flexibility of conventional generation. The CERC, in the recent past, has notified the Fourth Amendment to the IEGC Regulations which specifies the Technical Minimum Schedule for operation of Central Generating stations and Inter-State Generating Stations. 9. Communication in Power Sector Regulatory framework for communication in power sector including smooth real time data transfer between the RE pooling stations and the SLDC/REMC is to be implemented by March, 2017. MOP, MNRE, GIZ, POSOCO and States are working together to prepare the DPR for implementation of Renewable Energy Management Centres (REMCs). DPR for Southern States and Southern Regional Load Despatch Centre (SRLDC) is also about to be finalized. 10. Capacity Building of LDCs particularly in RE Rich States Lastly, the system operator needs to be properly equipped to plan, operate, maintain and govern power systems with increasing share of renewables in the total installed capacity of the country. Moreover, Capacity Building should be undertaken at an ongoing basis with utmost priority. The above action plan is expected to ensure smooth and secure grid operations with large scale integration of renewable energy. www.iexindia.com | 05 Market NEWS Power Market Update: April’16 Price The spot power market at IEX traded over 115 MUs on a daily average basis in April’16, highest ever since the inception of the market in the year 2008.
