Survey and Analysis of socio-economic conditions in Rural, Semi-Urban as well as Urban pilot areas- Baseline – Completed

Tentative Future Task

Post-pilot survey and analysis ofthe socio-economic conditions toevaluate impact of the project.

Tariff based on estimated LCOEin accordance with final pilot project conditions.

Potential Peak Reduction andCost Benefit Analysis of DSMprogram for pilots.

o Target and control village survey is conducted to help design the system as per expected usage pattern (peak load and storage requirements).

o Survey Sample Size – Rural, Semi Urban and Urban Pilots-o Rural- Sample Size – 200 Sample (107 Control Sample + 93 Target

Samples)o Semi-Urban- 58 Sample (20 Control Sample + 38 Target Samples)o Urban-13 Sample (03 Control Sample + 10 Target Samples)

Energy Storage: Where do we stand

CERC Staff Paper on Energy Storage Systems (2017)

Optimum location of balancing energy storage devices, CEA (Dec. 2017)

NITI Aayog: National Mission on Transformative Mobility and Battery Storage (2019)

Flexible operation of thermal power plant for integration of Renewable Energy, CEA (Jan. 2019)

Report on optimal generation capacity mix for 2029-30, CEA, Jan. 2020

SANTULAN Report-Jan 2020 for Intra-State Reserves and Ancillary Services for Balancing

Technical Studies

Pilots

Grid-scale BESS Pilot Project Puducherry, POWERGRID, FY 2017-18 TATA Power & AES Grid-scale BESS Project of 10 MWh, Yr. 2019 TERI-WBSEDCL BESS Pilot Projects at Distribution-level* BHEL awarded TERI-BRPL BESS Pilot Project at Distribution-level-2020

under UI-ASSIST project* (* Ongoing)

TERI completed sizing and pre feasibility study of BESS for three urban pilot locations

Issuance of Purchase Order to BHEL (Given on 29 June 2020) Installation & commissioning of pilots as per allocated time

schedule (3-4 months)

Scheme

MNRE draft Scheme (2020) for round-the-clock power RE power may include solar, wind, small

hydro, or a combination thereof, with or without any ESS.

Tenders

SECI tender For firm peak power supply from RE+ storage in 2020 For RTC scheme in 2019

7

Energy Storage: Policy issues- Way Forward

Methodology for augmentation of electricity distribution infrastructure to be revisited keeping in view non-wire options such as demand-side measures and BESS

Development of aggregators market in-order to incentivize behind-the-meter storage

SERCs may consider DSM & BESS pilot projects at critical nodes of distribution network in-order to develop evidence based plans/ road-map

Community-level energy storage for management of local distribution system

Deployment of BESS as back-up power source in place of the DG sets and ancillary services

Amendment of Connectivity Regulations and Grid Code to enable BESS injection

8

Micro-grid : Existing Policy Provisions & IssuesDraft Amendments to Tariff Policy, 2016

Recognizes importance of ensuring last-mile connectivity & supply reliability

Underlines need for an appropriate regulatory framework to mandate compulsory purchase of power into the grid from micro-grids

MNRE’s Guidelines for Development of Decentralized Solar Power Plants PM-KUSUM scheme

State level policies and regulations for stand alone system States (UP, Bihar, Odisha, Jharkhand, MP & Chhattisgarh)

Enabling policy for micro-grid coordination and seamless interoperability

Facilitate business models and metering regulations(Virtual Net Metering/ Group Net Metering) to promote DER-based micro-grids at Distribution-level

Suitable incentives and regulatory approvals for P2P energy trading within DERs as well as networked micro-grids

Consider micro-grid implementation based upon IEEE Standard 1547-2018

Policy issues– Way Forward

Cyber Infrastructure and Cyber Security :Existing Framework

IT Act, 2000: Amended in 2008 CERT-In, 2004 National Cyber Security Policy,

2013 NCIIPC, Oct 2014- created by

Government of India under section 70 A of IT Act

Dedicated sectoral CERTscreated by MoP in 2017 including one on Distribution

ISGF/ VJTI Documentation IT Rules, 2011 framed under

the IT Act, 2000 mandates- IS/ ISO/ IEC codes of best

practices for data protection ISO:27001 is recognized as

one such recommended standard

IS-16335 : 2015 Power Control Systems-Security Requirement

Policy Issues-Way Forward

Every utility to follow NIST cyber security framework V1for improving critical infrastructure which containsrecommendations for- Identification of cyber assets and users Detection of ongoing threats & Response strategy Protection from cyber attacks (IEC 62443 standard)

& Recovery mechanism Regular internal and external audit for the cyber security

(every 6 month) Monitoring of Utilities for employing Chief Information

Security Officer (CISO) and Security Operation Centre(SOC) operators.

Detailed vulnerability/ threat/ risk analysis of DISCOMs Participation of DISCOMs/ DSOs in entire gamut of cyber

security related activities Formulation of policies for disposal of Critical Digital

Assets (CDA)
