The extensive targets for the capacity increase of wind and solar power plants in India for the next few years mandates that significant efforts have to be made to be able to efficiently integrate these intermittent Renewable Energy (RE) generators into the Indian electricity grid. The Government of India and the Government of the Federal Republic of Germany share a long standing, trustful and successful development cooperation. Sustainable access to clean energy is a major focus of this bilateral cooperation. Both countries share a policy with a view to extending the role of RE in their national energy strategy. With this objective the Green Energy Corridor – Technical Cooperation project was initiated under Indo – German Energy Programme (IGEN) of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH to assist the Indian government (and government agencies) in the area of large scale integration of renewable energy.

Balancing of demand and supply is an important task of planners and operators of power systems. Short term control reserves are required to balance the electricity grid. This assignment aims at quantifying the requirement of primary and secondary control reserves for balancing in the southern region taking into consideration the RE capacity addition plans of southern region States by 2022. Southern Regional Power Committee (SRPC) is the primary GoI counterpart for this study.

For this, GIZ proposes to engage a firm of consultants or consortiums to produce a detailed analytical report covering the following aspects broadly:

a) Identification of types of reserves required at southern State and/or regional level
b) Detail out a methodology for reserve dimensioning
c) Reserve dimensioning using appropriate simulation method for 5 southern Indian States
d) Investigate the reserve sharing potential by southern region States

The Consultant shall provide consultancy to come up with an analysis of the requirements suitable for Indian power system and propose an according work schedule and time plan. This is important to note that SRPC will strive to provide the data required under this assignment, to the extent available.
