About Renewable Energy Integration

The urgent need to reduce global carbon foot print

and to meet the ever increasing energy demand has
created a strong and long term demand for energy
efficiency with renewable energy as a key element to
these objectives. The question that needs to be raised is
how these new generation systems can be integrated to
the power grid. The major Renewable Energy Sources
such as Wind, Solar, and Hydel are viable sources given
its potential in India. Also due to environmental
concerns, constructions of large dams are avoided. This
necessitates building small run of river dams thereby
creating micro-hydel sources.
Although Indian government has given sufficient
impetus through MNRE, Jawaharlal Nehru National
Solar Mission and other such initiatives to enhance the
use of renewable energy, there are numerous issues
that need to be explored, since in a large scale
integration, seasonal variability of supply affect the
stability greatly. Again the interfaces between the
Renewable Energy Sources and the grid should be
explored thoroughly before they are used, for they
should meet the stringent power quality standards. In
remote places where grid connectivity is not feasible,
isolated grids with Renewable Energy sources are well
suited. There are also grids which can work with and off
the main grid.
Micro-grids, which can be connected to the main grid,
and also works in an isolated mode, are the best
solutions to avoid cascading of faults or other stability
issues associated with Renewable Energy variation.
Renewable Energy Sources installed at home are one
way of alleviating power cuts during peak hours and
reducing under frequency problems connected with
rotor angle stability which otherwise would result in
severe blackouts.

Objective of this workshop

This course will provide a comprehensive discussion on
renewable energy resources, the associated conversion
technologies for electricity generation, and renewable
energy integration into main grid and micro-grids. This
is also intended to give case studies and solutions to
issues facing renewable energy integration. The course
will also encourage renewable energy generation at
micro level and give impetus to further the research
into their dynamics in the main grid and analyzing
reliability, power quality, and stability problems.

About the EEE Department

The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering
(EEE) has been playing a vital role in producing scientists
and technologists of highest caliber ever since it was
established in the year 1951. The department offers UG
(Regular and Sandwich) programmes, PG programmes
(Applied Electronics, Power Electronics & Drives, and
Embedded & Real-Time Systems), and Research
programmes. The department along with its highly
qualified faculty members started functioning right from
inception and engages actively in teaching and research
in all the current areas of Electrical and Electronics
Engineering. The department runs PSG-LAPP Centre for
