📗 EBW Breaking :

🟩 INDIA's Renewable Energy Portfolio ( REPo) Capacity hits 160 GW in installed terms while 24OGW installed still comes from the Thermal Power ( Coal, Lignite, Gas & Diesel etc).

💢 In Exportable terms, INDIA's 400 GW of Installed Capacity can Generate 1970 TWh ( Terrawatt hours ) of electricity equivalent to 240GWe of "Peak Optimal Generation Utilizable ( POU) " Capacity Index. The base Load is fixed at 200GW max or 50% rated or installed Capacity due to Low Hydropower Share of 11.62% in Installed terms & 14-15% max in National Power Generation Mix ( NPGM) terms or 300TWh to be precise... And it has Flexibility of "Plug -n-Play" with Peak-Shaving Characteristics & "Spinning Reserve" Capability. Only Natural Gas Power Plants have similar ability but of 25.4 GW

📌 While Solar inspite of 51 GW has low PLF & 6-8 hours availability per day resulting in 10.5 GWe of actual generation amounting to 89TWh...Similarly Wind Energy of 40GW installed only produces 10 GWe or 87TWh. Thereby, Solar & Wind together account for only 9% of NPGM. While Nuclear Renewable with 6.78GW performs better with 5GWe available with Optimal Generation of 43TWh.

♨️ Thermal Coal with 24.5 GW installed Capacity has almost 19 GW idle only making 5GW meanig exportability at 75% being 3.75GWe making 33TWh feasible to add to the 300TWh of Hydro making 333TWh of "Peak - Shaving" catering to Peak demand curve. This is 17% and another 30TWh of SHP( Small Hydropower ) it only reaches 18% of Peak Generation Utilizable of 1970 TWh, way below the requisite 30-35% necessary to sustain close to 50Hz Grid Frequency.

🔋 Now due to Infirm & intermittent nature of Solar & Wind the Gross 176TWh ( 89 TWh + 87TWh) of these can barely match the 1170 TWh of base Load from Thermal Coal at 65% PLF on 205 GW installed. Lignite & rest making up small addition of another 30TWh. Together Coal + Lignite Power accounts for 1200TWh or 61% of Optimal NPGM share.. With Solid State ( Inflexible) RE of Solar + Wind 176TWh & 43TWh of Nuclear the Base Load RE + Thermal becomes 1419TWh or 72% of POGU.

🟨 This Clearly demonstrates the Futility of SURPLUS POWER idea , a MYTH being propagated for Long without understanding that Unless PEAK - Shaving Capacities of 30-35% are built, GRID CODE cannot be sustained ( Operating Frequency band being 49.9 Hz to 50.05Hz).
