Learnings: •\tFor the country to achieve 500 GW of RE by 2030, 50-60 GW of RE capacities are required to be deployed every year for the next 6 years. •\tIt is estimated that 140 GW of wind capacities would be required for meeting the country’s target of 500 GW of RE 2030.   Recommendations:•\tCompliance of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) must be made strict and mandatory. While RPO trajectory has been notified till 2029-30 by the Ministry of Power, necessary steps must be taken for monitoring and compliance. •\tThere is a need to develop sector-specific decarbonisation roadmaps, especially for hard-to-abate sectors such as cement, steel etc. It is also essential to have cluster-based approach for setting up large-scale RE projects and utilising the generated power/ green hydrogen within the cluster.<div> </div>","author_id":1,"category_id":1,"published_at":"2024-12-20T06:12:38.548474+00:00","updated_at":"2024-12-20T06:12:38.548474+00:00","is_published":true,"appid":1903749,"jdata":{"file":["uploads\/1407094220_GreenPower3.jpeg","uploads\/34936649_GreenPower2.jpeg","uploads\/1113436722_GreenPower1.jpeg"],"lfile":"","leftcontent":""},"pos":1,"id":55,"news_id":91,"file_path":"[\"uploads\\/1407094220_GreenPower3.jpeg\",\"uploads\\/34936649_GreenPower2.jpeg\",\"uploads\\/1113436722_GreenPower1.jpeg\"]","media_type":"0","appid":0},{"nid":76,"title":"CII’s Conference on Alternative Fuel and Raw Material Usage (AFR) 2024","content":"The 14th\r\nedition of CII’s Alternative Fuel and Raw Material Usage (AFR) 2024 conference\r\nwas organised on 23rd & 24th Oct'24 at “Courtyard by\r\nMarriott”, Raipur.

The summit focuses on the critical importance of flexible operations in India’s power generation landscape.Greater renewable energy capacity additions in India result in a greater amount of power from renewable sources being fed into the national grid, particularly from solar energy during daytime. Thermal power plants are required to reduce the amount of energy they feed into the grid at such times, through flexible operation. Flexible operations of power plants typically result in reduced efficiencies and significant wear and tear of generation equipment. However, flexibilization is very important in the context of energy security, reliability of power supply, and safety and stability of the transmission grid.The Flex India conference serves as a platform to explore the current state of flexible operations in India, understand the regulatory framework and technological advancements guiding these changes, and exchange knowledge on best practices from both domestic and international perspectives. The goal is to foster deeper understanding and collaboration among industry leaders to ensure the sustainable and efficient integration of flexible operations in Indias power sector. EPRI, the conference partner, is the worlds preeminent independent, non-profit energy research and development organization, with extensive global experience in flexibilization. Key themes and takeaways from the summit include: <ul><li>Examination of flexible operations both within India and internationally</li><li>In-depth analysis of the technologies enabling these operations</li><li>Strategies for mitigating the challenges associated with flexible operations</li><li>Insights from plant operators actively implementing these practices </li></ul>The Flex India Summit 2024 provided participants a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory framework governing flexible operations, equipping them with the knowledge needed to navigate the evolving landscape of power generation. Additionally, the summit offered valuable insights into conducting load tests and monitoring critical parameters during low-load operations. Attendees learned about the specific challenges and risks associated with operating power plants at reduced loads, including which parameters tend to degrade under such conditions. This practical information, shared by experienced plant operators, will help participants implement effective strategies to maintain plant performance and longevity during flexible operations.
