The Chairperson of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) warned that India's electric grid faces 'dangerous' oscillations due to the fluctuating nature of renewable energy sources like solar and wind.
पृष्ठभूमि
India added 48 GW of renewable capacity in 2025 but faces grid instability and lack of battery storage. Between May and December 2025, approximately 2,300 gigawatt-hours of solar power were curtailed due to these grid limitations.
प्रीलिम्स के लिए तथ्य
- तथ्यIndia added 48 GW of renewable capacity in 2025.
- तथ्य2,300 gigawatt-hours of solar power were curtailed between May and December 2025.
- तथ्यIndia aims to reach nearly four times current renewable capacity by 2047.
मेन्स के लिए
Q. Discuss the technical and infrastructural challenges in integrating high-penetration renewable energy into India's national grid and suggest measures to mitigate grid oscillations.
उत्तर के आयाम
- Grid stability: Technical limitations in managing voltage fluctuations from intermittent solar and wind sources
- Storage deficit: Insufficient battery energy storage systems (BESS) leading to significant power curtailment
- Modernization gap: Need for 'smart' grid technologies to facilitate rapid switching between power sources
