Report on Assessment of Inertia in Indian Power System
By POSOCO & IIT Bombay (2022)
The study conducted by POSOCO in collaboration with IIT Bombay has reviewed the global best practices in respect of estimation, measurement and monitoring of power system inertia and evolved a methodology for the same in the context of Indian Power System. While identifying steps needed to strengthen the existing inertia monitoring platform implemented at NLDC and RLDCs, the report provides several suggestions for consideration at the policy, regulatory and operation level to achieve the targets of 500 GW by 2030 and net zero by 2070.
