Wind power producers who were recently directed by the Central Electricity Regulatory Authority (CERC) to give day-ahead forecast for power generation have asked the Power Ministry to first resolve the issue of grid stability and build required transmission infrastructure for evacuation of wind power.
The Central Electricity Regulatory Commission has recently issued regulations to wind power producers to issue day-ahead forecast for wind power generation. There is penal action amounting to at least 15% of the revenues in case of incorrect predictions.
However, large nos of wind power producers have opposed the move.
Companies like, ReNew Wind Power and Tata Power have requested to the power ministry to develop better grid infrastructure and suggested that scheduling and forecasting mechanism should be instituted at a consolidated SLDC (State Loading Dispatch Centre) level instead of the level of the substation.
Independent Power Producer's Association of India has already filed for an injunction in the Delhi High Court against this decision. Indian Wind Power Association has also written to the CERC to postpone this decision, as wind farms are unable to proceed with forecasting and scheduling of wind power.
