Abstract
Under the current national target based on National Solar Mission, 40 GW of rooftop PV shall be connected in India by 2022. To reach this target, a good understanding of the Indian power system, its regulatory frameworks, and the similarities and differences with other countries that have already deployed a large share of rooftop PV has to be developed by all stakeholders involved in the process. The study intends to provide an overview of the characteristics of the Indian power system and its problems with regard to a large scale rooftop PV rollout, as well as a template for distribution companies on how to deal with rising PV shares, which studies to conduct and which technology options to select. The scope of the study also includes detailed modelling and simulation of four different distribution grid feeders in Delhi and Bhopal.
