Ontario Business Mission to India
Background The Ontario Premier, Kathleen Wynne led her first mission to India from January 27 to February
6, 2016. India is the world's fourth-largest economy and a priority market for Ontario. The
mission was expected to yield new agreements that would increase exports and draw on
Ontario's expertise in sustainable development and urban infrastructure. The purpose was also
to lay the foundations for future business deals and strengthen cultural ties between India and
Ontario.
The delegation made stops in New Delhi, Chandigarh, Hyderabad and Mumbai to meet with key
business leaders, investors and government officials. These meetings were an opportunity for
Ontario businesses to promote the province's expertise, forge new partnerships and create a
strong foothold in this important market.
In order to facilitate the Premiers, visit and create opportunities for potential MoUs, the
Ontario Ministry of Energy initiated an Inbound Smart Grid Trade Mission to Ontario in summer
2015 with a broad set of stakeholders led by SmartGrid Canada. The purpose was to establish
lasting relationships between Indian electricity companies and the Ontario smart grid sector
and drive the deployment of new energy technologies, and enhance energy-based economic
development opportunities in India and Ontario.
As next steps to this visit by the Indian delegation, SmartGrid Canada initiated and negotiated
partnerships with Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) (the leading utility in Delhi)
and India Smart Grid Forum (ISGF) (a multi—stakeholder body furthering the cause of smart
grids in India) to create MOUs that were announced during the Ontario Premier’s visit to India
in February 2016.

Executive Summary The overall visit was a success in creating stronger relations. The Indian energy sector would
like to learn from Canada and in particular Ontario’s world leading position in the
implementation of smart grid programs. Its goals were to explore how to best deploy smart grid
technologies in an efficient and cost-effective way, while avoiding some potential pitfalls and
leapfrogging into the newest technologies. The following are the summary of the MoU’s signed
1. Between SmartGrid Canada, the Centre for Urban Energy (CUE) and TPDDL to work
collaboratively to advance smart grid developments, to drive the testing and
deployment of new energy technologies in areas such as distributed generation, energy
storage, microgrids, electricity grid monitoring etc., in order to enhance smart grid-
based economic development opportunities in India and Canada.
2. Between SmartGrid Canada, Advanced Energy Center(AEC) and the India Smart Grid
Forum (ISGF) to work collaboratively and identify Ontario energy technologies that have
a high potential to add value to the Indian electricity market.

SmartGrid Canada Presentation to Energy Breakout SessionBusiness Briefings with Local Energy Partners
Indian Electricity Market Overview India has a large and complex electricity system with populated urban centres (Delhi, Mumbai,
Bangalore etc.) and large rural areas with limited access to electricity. With a growth rate of around 8 %
5
GDP, India's energy demand is expected to increase 3 times in the coming 10 years, out of which 60%
would be carried by the grid. India needs a major revamp of the aging electricity system from the
transmission to the distribution to enable the growth. The Indian electricity system faces a number of
challenges: shortage of power, power theft, poor access to electricity in rural areas, huge losses in the
grid, inefficient power consumption and poor reliability. The present grid needs investment in several
areas: increasing generation capacity, improving grid efficiencies and rural electrification. A smart grid is
supposed to be the solution to all these challenges and essential for India's energy security in the future.
The Indian government has proposed to invest around USD 86.4 billion to upgrade the present
electricity system. It has been done through various programs like Revised Accelerated Power
Development and Reform Program (RAPDRP), Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission etc. With such a
huge investment, India has an opportunity to leapfrog into the latest smart grid technologies as it has
done in other sectors like telecommunications. In 2013 the Indian government has released a national
Smart Grid Vision and Roadmap in line with its policy objectives of “access, availability and affordability
of power for all”. A National Smart Grid Mission has also been launched to accelerate the deployment
process (http://www.nsgm.gov.in//content/nsgm.php).
Canadian Takeaways / Lessons
Overall areas of collaboration identified as part of the mission are:
Best practices of Ontario’s policy and regulatory framework
Micro-grids serving remote and grid-connected communities
VOLTVAR control/VOLTVAR optimization
Analytics and MDMR analytics
Green Button initiative and time of use rates
Demand response programs
Energy storage technologies
Specific areas of collaboration as highlighted in the MoUs are knowledge transfer regarding microgrids,
renewable energy and EV integration and the future of the electric grid.
Go-Forward Strategy
The MoU signed between Tata Power DDL, Centre for Urban Energy at Ryerson University and
SmartGrid Canada makes a priority establishing R&D projects in the areas of micro-grid, energy
storage and renewable integration. The goal is to facilitate smart grid knowledge transfer in
areas Canada has extensive experience.
6
It is important to note that Tata Power DDL has signed previous MoUs of smart grid and R& D
collaboration with prestigious US universities such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology
(MIT) and University of California, Berkeley. The MoU SmartGrid Canada negotiated between
CUE and Tata Power DDL is the first MoU with a Canadian university for Tata Power DDL. As per
the letters forwarded by the Tata Power DDL’s CEO and Ryerson University President it shows
their commitment to work Canadian academic partners and the electricity grid of the future.
Going forward, SmartGrid Canada has already had several rounds of discussions with Tata
Power – DDL and CUE to jointly collaborate on R&D projects. A presentation was made by Tata
Power outlining their priorities. This was the foundation for developing the scope of the R&D
project between Ryerson University and Tata Power DDL. The exact scope is to be finalized by
middle of April 2016. The projects that have been agreed to are:
1. Project 1: Technical Losses: Examination of Losses, comparison with other jurisdictions, and techniques for reduction if any.
a. Examine CYME model of a DS (distribution system) with feeders. b. Compare CYME model of DS from other domains c. Examine technical loss reduction strategies
2. Project 2: Road Map for Future
Road map in to the future – examine effect of renewables, renewables with energy storage (ES), and EV (electric vehicles) from the planning and engineering perspective.
a. Examine effect of PVs on the system b. Examine effect of Harmonics on asset, at various operating frequencies c. Examine effect of renewables with PV and ES d. Examine effect of EVs on DS, the study will capture increasing effect of larger EV adoption).
Taking forward the partnership with ISGF, a Special Workshop 7 – “India-Canada Smart Grid Workshop”was organized on March 18 2016 as part of the India Smart Grid Week 2016 at the Manekshaw Center in New Delhi. Several Canadian companies participated in the conference cum exhibition.
The India Smart Grid Week in New Delhi had representations from over 15 countries and 41 overseas delegates spoke at this event. The India minister’s/ministry sponsorship was evident all over.
The Canada-India event went well but was far less packed than the India –EU event (which was standing room only). Our SMEs Agnitio, Vizimax, Awsense were all represented by their CEOs (except Vizimax). We had two more Canadian SMEs come in from the event directly (PEI and another from Ontario). One of SmartGRid Canada’s board memebers, Mr. Ravi Seethapathy chaired this special workshop. He also moderated two other plenaries on Renewable Energy
7
Integration and Energy Storage and Smart Grid Project Outcomes: Experiences and Lessons Learned. These plenaries were chaired by Secretaries from the Ministries as figure heads.
Several participants at the conference expressed interest in our smart grid journey triggering talks of being part of the next India Smart Grid Week in 2017 with a larger Canadian delegation and potentially a Canadian pavillion at the event as well.
An Indian inbound mission to Canada is also being planned for September 2016 as part of the Smart Grid Canada 2016 conference.
The agenda for the Canada-India Smart Grid workshop that was held in New Delhi is as below. The complete agenda of the event is attached in the Annextures.
