Outline
Approach towards DSM
Case of Gandhinagar Solar City
Technological Aid – Smart Grid
Right to Solar
CSO Intervention for RE and DSM, CEE, Ahmedabad; 8 Aug. 2011. 2
Approach
Understand the scope of intervention
o Extensive survey of Consumers…• Consumer usage pattern, equipment profile, etc.• Domestic, Industry, Municipality, etc.
o …Utility…• Load dispatch profiles, challenges, costs, etc.
o …Regulation…• Existing setup, vision/ ideas, incentives, gaps, etc.
Conclusion: Identification of areas of improvement
CSO Intervention for RE and DSM, CEE, Ahmedabad; 8 Aug. 2011. 3
Approach (2)
Strategize approach and quantify targets
o Identify ‘technical’ scope for improvement at various levels.
• E.g. Domestic-level: All lights in Gujarat Sachivalaya were replaced by energy-efficient tube lights, and payback was achieved in <1 year.
o Set realistic targets• E.g. City-level: Solar Cities Programme by MNRE: Reduce energy
consumption by 10% through renewable energy and energy efficiency measures.

Approach (3)
Implement at various levels
o Social campaign• Energy efficiency, habits, etc.
o Participate in regulatory processes
o Link with ‘good’ ESCOs
o Certification/ recommendation• Energy efficient products, smart meters/ home systems, ESCOs, etc.
o Perform ‘friendly’ audits

Photovoltaic Panel(Approx. 1 - 5kWP)
Grid-tied inverter Meter 2: Solar Electricity
Generation
Meter 1: Conventional Electricity Consumption
Transformer Grid
Relatively simple to install, operate and maintain. Most popular and globally accepted configuration. Disadvantage: No availability when grid is down.

Technological Aid – Smart Grid
Can be used for monitoring at:o City-level, ando Domestic-level.
Empowering and decision-making tool.

California’s Solar Rights Laws
Solar Rights Act (CA Civil Code 714): bars restrictions on homeowners associations on installation of solar energy installations.
Amendment in 2003: Public entities should not place unreasonable restrictions on procurement of solar energy systems when applying for state-sponsored loans and grants.
Amendment in 2004: Prohibits local governments from restricting the installation of a solar energy system based on aesthetics.
Solar Shade Control Act, 1979: Addresses shade from neighboring vegetations.
Solar Easement Law (Civil Code Sct. 801, 801.5): Provides opportunity to protect future solar access via a negotiated easement with neighboring property owners.

The ‘Dirty Job’
Power Theft – a non-technical loss, can reduce the efficiency of a grid to as low as 40%.
CSO’s are in ideal position to help curb this loss.

Conclusion
Systematic approach is key:o Informationo Strategyo Implementation
Knowledge of technology is key.
Approach: Everybody has a right.
