Discoms seem to faces of range of issues when it comes to hydel power stations
8Some see a big difference between declared capacity (DC) & Plant Availability Factor for the month (PAFM)
8There is then a mismatch of energy scheduled as per Regional Energy Account and Average DC
8A discom has established the discrepancy on the basis of declared capacity of a set of hydro plants for (i)th day of the month on the basis of capacity declared by them for continuous three hour period and PAFM was computed considering this DC for the month of April to May, 2018
8The discom then opined that declared capacity should not be taken as average. It was suggested that since the word “atleast” is mentioned while defining declared capacity in CERC Tariff Regulations, the minimum MW during peak hours should be taken as declared capacity.
8The debate is still on over how to handle this issue

A meeting of grid operators and discoms have concluded that it will take a long time before smart grids become an everyday reality
8Currently preparedness is at a preliminary stage
8Smart grid will need planning and funding and none of the discoms have come up with viable plans yet
8Rolling out such grids will therefore take time

Silting is a major problem with most hydel projects
8And yet best practices are not followed
8Silting is costly and abrasive and besides causing damage also brings down operational efficiency.
8A new set of guidelines are now in the offing on how to deal with silting scientifically.

What are the real challenges a discom faces?
8Allowed deviation limit is too small, a mere 2-3%
8Balancing demand and supply is always a challenge in the midst of sudden MTL scheduling, tripping of generating units, low accuracy of weather forecasts
8Then again, there is no control on must-run schedules from hydro and nuclear plants.
8Non-Provision of Intra State Ancillary Services
8There is also the issue of schedule revisions through the SLDC/RLDC medium, wherein timed restrictions are on one side
8The Draft fourth amendment of CERC DSM Regulations and their implications are going to be a challenge
8Figuring and adjusting to Time-of-Day Tariff
8Penetration of Solar Rooftop, EVs and DER into the grid as well as renewable curtailment constraints have their own set of challenges

There is a lot of hand-wringing over the coming on stream of a 1000 MW nuclear power plant
8The plant, and there is one more coming up, is ready to go live but the grid seems to have an excess of power because of moderation in demand coupled with large injections of renewable power
8Importantly, nuclear plants can only work as base load stations.
8So the ax eventually has to fall on thermal power stations.

The consumable water required in the thermal power plants is of very high quantity.
8Moreover, power plant efficiency of the plant is directly affected by the efficiency with which steam is condensed and cooled.
8So what really is the solution?
8Introduction of direct dry cooled condensers alone is unviable so a combination of a cooling tower with dry cooled condensers is being suggested
8But then the last word has not been uttered yet on this controversy

Is it possible for AT&C losses to go below the 15% mark
8The answer is "no" under the present circumstances unless a universal subsidy scheme is in place, says Karnataka which has been able to achieve the 15% distinction
8Karnataka has been able to to peg down losses despite the fact that it has as much as 37% energy consumption in the agriculture sector which was unmetered.
8Bringing down AT&C losses would not be possible unless subsidies are paid according to the quantum of power consumed

The pooled price mechanism and a finetuning of the domestic gas allocation matrix have changed the indigenous v.LNG usage pattern among key gas consumers in India
8These changing demand dynamics are to a very large extent dependent on government policies.
8And these policies are fickle
8There is hope that gas based power stations may get a new lease of life as they switch away from being base load stations, given the massive infusion of renewable power.
8Similarly, it is government-pushed investment in urea units which is creating demand for extra gas for fertilizers
8What if allocation priorities change, as is possible in case of city gas distribution?

Distributed generation -- where an energy source is connected to a distribution network instead of a transmission network -- and renewables is the area to watch out for
8Corporate buyers are joining the market as they weigh up the attractiveness of distributed generation.
8As well as delivering on clean energy ambitions, a corporate PPA with the right pricing structure can also provide a hedge against electricity price volatility.
8All kinds of innovations are now kicking in, including smartphone-linked energy saving and control devices, surprising developers and adopters alike.
8Technological innovation will be key to the transformation of grids into platforms that are able to successfully host, manage and integrate a plethora of distributed energy resources.

Existing funding system in India will be incapable of installing 175 GW of renewable energy in the country by 2022.
8Long-term financing, which is imperative to meet the financial requirement of the sector, is poorly organized.
8For instance, the domestic bond market is at a very nascent stage and poorly crafted.
8There has been a tendency of investors to invest in low-risk and high-rating bonds, such as government bonds or AAA rating bonds, or other low-risk investment options and not in long term bonds
8The renewable industry has not been able to establish the creditworthiness of an independent bond issue so far.
8Further, the long-term finance available through insurance and pension funds constitute only a small fraction of the household financial savings in India.
8Other non-banking financing companies have too limited an ability to provide the required finance. For instance, in India, corporate bond markets have also not evolved, as long-term investors such as insurance and pension funds are kept out of these markets by rating thresholds.
8Also find out more how the structural issues of power sector, in general, contaminate the financing of renewable energy in the country.
8So what is the way out of this mismatch? Will this derail India's renewable energy drive? Are there are reasonable solutions at hand?

Heavy monsoonal rains have wrecked havoc with the gas based power stations in the North East of India
8A sudden fall in demand coupled with a big blast of generation from newly commissioned rain fed hydel plants meant emergency back down of gas based power units
8The gas units were ordered to work at the technical minimum
8But owners of these units are now saying it is better to take a reserve shutdown than to bring down PLF to precariously low levels
8The technical minimum prescribed by the CEA can cause equipment damage, it is claimed.
8There are other adverse spinoff too: if gas supply has to suddenly wind down, the gas supplier may have to shut backend gas wells.
8There is the threat a total shutdown in gas supply then or a long period of wait before the wells come back to full ouput
8Since there is no way this gas can be diverted in the North East to other demand centres, the consequences of frequent shutdown of gas plants can have a disastrous impact on an gas field.
