Integration Phenomena of Renewable Energy with Contemplation of Issues from Electricity Distribution Utility and Consumer Perceptive

Abstract

In India there is shortage of 0.8% in peak power and 0.6% in overall energy. A considerable portion approx. 15% of population in India is without power. Resource augmentation and growth energy supply has not kept pace with increasing demand and therefore, India continuous to face serious energy shortages. There is a strong two-way relationship between economic development and energy consumption. Availability of adequate power in turn triggers growth and development in other related infrastructure. Besides this, it needs to focus on development of distribution sector. Power has been delivered to end consumers through wires and conductors if any fault occurs in the entire system the customer faces outages. It is extremely important to come out with new innovative processes, systems and methods which delivers better value to customers. To improve Indian scenario, where coal costs are increasing day by day which is impacting the domestic light tariff as well as commercial and industrial tariffs. To maintain the current tariff and provide the electricity to the consumer with proper reliability and economic viability, it needs to be focused on renewable energy. Installation of renewable power generation will be the key improvement of customer satisfaction. It will help to provide continuous power supply and help to maintain the grid frequency.
