This document announces an online training on renewable energy grid integration through hydro pumped storage. The training will provide insights into the viable economic operation of pumped storage and its role in integrating renewable energy in India. Pumped storage hydro power is currently the most cost-effective and proven method of large-scale energy storage. Developing more pumped storage could help integrate India's increasing renewable energy generation from solar and wind and improve grid reliability. The training is open to utilities and industry and will cover topics like pumped storage design, economics, services for grids, and case studies.

Introduction storage is in the form of pumped storage hydro power. PSP has added benefits to reduce the effects of greenhouse gases Government of India has set an ambitious program for increase of on the environment. Developing pumped storage particularly renewable energy generation and has set a target of 175GW by in the areas with concentrated wind and solar generation, the year 2022 comprising 100GW of Solar, 60GW of Wind, 10GW would significantly improve the grid reliability. from small hydro and 5GW from Biomass energy. Generation from wind and solar has increased substantially during past few Objective years and forms a significant proportion of the total generation 1. Getting insights in the economic viable operation in the grid. This renewable generation is concentrated in a few states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, 2. Gaining knowledge on role of PSP for Renewable Energy Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. These states contribute Grid Integration in India through online training more than 80% of total renewable generation. Apart from the above the introduction and basics of pumped During a day wind generation does not take place during peak storage; general design options and criteria, boundary hours. Solar generation also occurs partly during off peak conditions; typical unit arrangements, special operating hours and partly during peak hours. Wind and solar plants modes; CAPEX / OPEX for a PSP project in India; typical are subject to strong natural fluctuations. They cannot always ancillary services and other contributions offered by pumped provide electricity in the required amount and at the required storage; current economic problems of PSP in a case study time. Excess renewable energy needs to be stored so that it and increasing demand for flexibility and provision of services can be used when needed. in the grid; and a case study on pumped storage expansion, Integrating a significantly increasing amount of wind and solar installation of adjustable speed PSPs for better efficiency etc. facilities into the electricity supply system requires balancing This will also provide the STUs and other stakeholders an strategies and storage options. While many forms of energy opportunity to share their experiences / success stories and storage systems have been installed globally, pumped storage also learn from the experiences of other STUs. hydro plants are playing an increasingly important role in Who should attend? providing peaking power and maintaining system stability in the power system of many of the developed countries. The training program is open to various utilities and industry Pumped storage technologies is the only long term technically organizations/ individuals in the field of power system. proven, cost effective, highly efficient and operationally flexible way of energy storage on a large scale and is available at a Covid 19 special registration fee short notice. It is only pumped storage hydropower that can The duration for each on line training will be of 2 day (2 hrs meet many of the grid-scale energy storage needs as no on each day) out of which 1hr 30 minutes will be for technical other storage system can meet all grid demands. PSP has session followed by 30 minutes for question/ answer session. added benefits to reduce the effects of greenhouse gases on The Registration fee for training will be Rs. 3,000/- per the environment. Developing pumped storage particularly in participant (for 2 days) the areas with concentrated wind and solar generation, would • 18% GST will be extra. significantly improve the grid reliability. The program is limited to 200 participants. Which will be The other advantages of pumped storage development are on First cum First serve basis. availability of spinning reserve at almost no cost to the system, regulating frequency to meet sudden load changes in the To register network. Voltage and power factor correction are additional The perspective participants, desirous of attending the above benefits of Pumped Storage Schemes when Pumped storage training may register themselves by sending the following plants (PSP) operate in a voltage regulation mode like a details to CBIP along with necessary payments: synchronous condenser and can reduce losses as well as maintain the quality of service to the consumers.
