The Union Power Minister R K Singh announced that India is all set to integrate large-scale elements and renewable sources to keep the frequency control in check through AGC (Automatic Generation Control).
The AGC Project has so far produced about 51 GegaWatt operational energy capacity in all the five regional grids providing high quality stabilized frequency power to the grid.
While devoting the AGC project to the POSOCO (Power System Operation Cooperation) to the nation, the Union minister said that this is a substantial landmark in enhancing the strength of the Indian Power System manifolds.
Looking at the country’s commitment to meet its renewable energy capacity of 175 GW in 2022 it is an incredible milestone in the march as the nation has already achieved an installed capacity of 150 GW of renewable energy including large hydro projects so far and 63 GW of renewable energy capacity development is underway in several phases of installation which is said to be completed by the next year.
The project is aligning with India’s ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 which is also highlighted during the global climate summit COP26 and while addressing the same R K Singh said that the Indian power sector is growing and there is a need of balancing grid operations as renewables are evolving as a greater challenge.
He further added, “There is also solar penetration even in the agriculture sector and a substantial part of the consumption will be generated by consumers through renewables. We need to come up with a mechanism to balance this all”.
