    EDITORIALDear Energetica India Readers,

    Welcome to our SPECIAL ENERGETICA INDIA- INTERSOLAR INDIA; SEPT/OCT 2013 ISSUE.

    This issue combines the knowledge of Energetica India and the InterSolar India 2013event; with a focus on solar energy market in India.

    On the solar side, India is moving ahead with JNNSM Phase II; with draft guidelines of Batch I being announced. Energetica India takes you through the draft guidelines with the article Indias next step to 750 MW Grid Solar PV power projects---JNNSM Phase II.

    There are initiatives to promote the use of solar products, and the National Solar Mission has been a subject of global talk. In this humdrum of development, the solar sup-pliers are quietly making an exodus from the market, as huge amount of excise is stuck up without a trace. This is pushing solar specialists, and taking manufacturing companies to trade with free zone countries. Energetica India journalist Sharada highlights one of the issues that solar vendors across the countries are facing through her article India Solars Excise Problems.

    Learn more about Indias renewable energy industry and what stakeholders are doing through Energetica India interviews. In this issue we discuss company plans and products with:

    The government aims to promote the green building principles & concept with em-phasis on the renewable energy application in the green buildings among the stakehold-ers through a combination of promotional incentives and support majors in the country.

    Buildings scheme to push Indias New & Upcoming Solar Market of Green Buildings

    The REC market has gone through its ups and downs and the industry is still look-ing at the government to implement strict measures. Energetica India highlights the RPO targets of each state along with analysing the RPO regulation for captive users from each state. Read our article Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) Analysis to learn more.

    And not to forget the Exclusive Analysis from Indias top renewable energy consult-ants through our very own Energetica Indias Blog Stable.

    If you are a blogger and would like to use Energetica India platform to promote your blog, please feel free to contact us.

    It is also a pleasure to let our readers know that Mr.Bharat Vasandani, Country Manager, India, OmniMedia Group was a Jury Member of InterSolar India 2013 Awards.

    COMMITTEE TESTIMONIALS 2013|

    I had the opportunity and pleasure to attend all

    the Intersolar Conferences since their inception in

    13th Plan to also focus on increasing energy efficiency of consumer durables says B K ChaturvediThe government has identified 600-odd power guzzling indus-tries such as fertilizers, steel, cement and paper for which standards will be laid down for achieving energy efficiency. If these industries fail to adhere to the prescribed norms, they will be penalized, said Mr. B K Chaturvedi, Member (Energy), Planning Commission, while addressing the curtain raiser conference on States and Cli-mate Change of the India Cli-mate Policy and Business Con-clave 2013 in October 2013. FICCI in association with the Ministry of Environment & For-est, Government of India, the World Bank and German Envi-ronment Ministry is organizing the annual conference.

    As part of the drive to achieve energy efficiency in the 13th Plan period (2017-22),

    the government will focus on setting up super critical and ultra critical power plants. A new thrust will also be given to increasing energy efficiency of consumer durables.

    However, Mr. Chaturvedi said, it is imperative for the states and cities to come on board to improve energy effi-ciency and implement the laws set out in the statutes. India, at present, is witnessing 30% ur-banization which is set to reach 50% by 2040. Hence, planned transportation is needed, par-ticularly, for intermediate cities and ways need to be devised for making buildings in states and cities energy efficient.

    Mr. Chaturvedi stated that the government is looking to improve the energy mix where a sharper focus would be on renewables to reduce the de-

    pendence on fossil fuels. The Planning Commission has set up a Task Force on Solar En-ergy. FICCI is also a part of the Task Force, which met a week ago to chart out priorities to be focused on to give impetus to solar manufacturing and pow-er generation.

    Mr. Onno Ruhl, Country Di-rector, The World Bank, said that India needs bigger and cheaper solutions to deal with issues of energy efficiency, increasing ag-ricultural production and water efficiency. It is critical to focus on planned development of states and cities because 10 million people are moving to cities every year in India and creating inter-mediate cities. Hence, along with the government, private sector needs to find smart solutions on a large scale to make the growth process smooth for India.

    Dr. Cord Meier-Klodt, Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) and Head, Department for Economic and Global Affairs, Germany Embassy, said that Germany would like to partner with India in the field of energy both in production and effi-cient management of energy. As in Germany, India is also looking at increasing energy ef-ficiency and massive expansion of renewables for generating energy, hence both can have a fruitful partnership. However, he mentioned every country requires a different energy mix based on its needs. Germany is set to have a new government soon after the elections on Sunday, but Dr. Meier-Klodt as-sured that irrespective of which government comes into power, Germany will continue with its partnership with India.

    Setting up Chinese Power Equipment Service Centres in IndiaThe Ministry of Power of the Government of the Republic of India and the National Energy Administration of the Govern-ment of the Peoples Republic of China have signed a MOU to further strengthen and deepen cooperation in the energy sec-tor under the India-China Stra-tegic Economic Dialogue (SED) mechanism.

    The energy cooperation and the proposal for setting up Chinese Power Equipment Ser-vice Centres (PESCs) in India was discussed at the SED Work-ing Group Meeting on Energy that took place in Beijing on September 26, 2013.

    China has acknowledged

    that India has become a strate-gic market for Chinese power equipment manufacturers and that 18 GW of thermal power projects were commissioned under Indias 11th Five Year plan using Chinese-manufac-tured equipment and about 40 GW of power projects are cur-rently under construction using Chinese-made equipment.

    The MOU works on the common understanding that setting up of the PESCs in India would enable render timely ser-vice to plant owners, help opti-mize maintenance & operation costs, and eliminate risks where possible from outage mainte-nance cycles. Both the parties

    have affirmed the mutual ben-efit of enhanced cooperation in the area of energy cooperation under the laws and regulations of both India and China, and within the framework of coop-erative, complimentary, equal, and win-win principles. The MOU recognizes the requisite provision for timely and unhin-dered availability of spares and service support is important and necessary for reliable and economic plant operation over the operating life and to im-prove plant utilization rates. It has been agreed that the Na-tional Energy Administration of the Peoples Republic of China would actively encourage Chi-

    nese equipment manufactur-ers who have supplied power equipment including power generating equipment to In-dia companies to set up PESCs in India. The form and scope of service will be decided by equipment supplier and project owner on market principles.

    This Memorandum of Un-derstanding is intended to de-fine general ways of cooperation between the Parties to establish the said PESCs in India India and China has also agreed that the PESCs will be set up in India on market principles. The costs and terms of servicing power equip-ment will be decided between the PESCs and the end user.

    ITL installs 27 KW solar PV on the roof top of an office building in Andhra PradeshFirst in the state of Andhra Pradesh and amongst the first in the country, Warangal Municipal Corporation has installed a solar power sys-tem on the roof top of their main office building. The 27 KW solar photovoltaic pow-er generating system will power the ground floor of the office to run all lighting, fans and computer loads for eight hours every day. The system will generate around 125 KWh (units) of electri-cal energy each day on an average that will amount to around 40,000 units or more every year.

    By installing the solar power system, WMC has taken leadership in going green and demonstrating the use of renewable energy for powering the world. The system will have its impact on contribution to reduction of air pollution and saving of diesel used in conventional generators.

    Not only that the in-stalled 27 KW solar power system is a source of decen-tralized, independent source of energy to power the office of the Municipal Corpora-tion, it will be an insurance against any grid failure or during a calamity like storms and floods. So the work in the office of the Municipal corporation will not suffer and can be done reliably even in an event of such calamity.

    Talking to the media, Mr. Vivek Yadav, Commis-sioner said we are demon-strating the way forward for the use of renewable energy sources like solar energy, which is the need of the hour for our country, suffer-ing from energy crisis. He added the decentralized off grid solar systems are good to power such public facili-ties given the advantages of not only lessening the de-pendence on grid power, but also having more reliable source of power.

    Congratulating the team under leadership of Mr. G. Kishan, Special officer/ District collector, Warangal, Mr. Vivek Yadav, Commis-sioner, Mr. Upender Sing, SE and Lakshma Reddy DEE for their leadership in dem-onstrating the use of solar energy, Mr. Ravi Surapaneni, Director of Instruments Tech-niques Pvt.

    Emerging solar markets set for rapid installation expansion through 2017The next big opportunity for growth in the global solar busi-ness lies in small, emerging mar-kets where photovoltaic (PV) in-stallations are forecast to rise at about triple the global average during the period from 2012 through 2017.

    Annual installations in these emerging countries are expected to increase to 10.9 gigawatts (GW) in 2017, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38 percent from 2.2 GW in 2012, according to a new report entitled Emerging Solar PV Markets Tracker from IHS Inc., a leading global source of critical information and insight. In contrast, the overall global market will expand at a CAGR of only 13 percent during the same period. The emerging markets will account for 19 percent of global installations in 2017, up from just 7 percent in 2012.

    Across the world, new markets for solar PV are emerg-ing, propelled by government incentives, including tenders for large-scale contracts, feed-in-tariff (FIT) schemes and self-consumption support, said Jo-sefin Berg, senior PV analyst at IHS. Although these markets sometimes have huge hurdleslike limited financing, regulatory uncertainty and opaque local regulatory conditionscompa-nies throughout the solar supply chain can benefit from targeting these fast-growing emerging countries.

    Thailand and Turkey lead the wayOf the emerging countries ana-lyzed, Thailand and Turkey are expected to become the largest markets in the coming years. Both countries have the poten-tial to install a cumulative total

    of nearly 3 GW of PV systems during the period from 2013 through 2017.

    The Thai market has already taken off because of its adder scheme, under which the gov-ernment pays feed-in premiums to solar power producers.

    In contrast, the Turkish market is still taxiing toward the growth runway. In June the country experienced an ava-lanche of applications that far exceeded the 600 megawatts (MW) that had been planned by the government. This has delayed the licensing procedure and pushed back installations until late 2014 and 2015.

    Turkeys rooftop market, however, is predicted to pick up speed in 2014 to reach 300 MW. By 2017, its annual PV de-mand will climb to 1 GW.

    New markets charge up in EuropeAmong regions, IHS forecasts the biggest chunk of demand through 2017at more than one-thirdto come from new markets in Europe. Europes rela-tively stable financial conditions and proximity to experienced PV companies will support rapid de-ployment once regulatory sup-port takes shape.

    Poland, Turkey and Rus-sia are all rolling out support

    schemes, while Ukraine and Ro-mania already install PV systems at a rapid pace. For their part, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Denmark are set to contin-ue on a path of rooftop instal-lations.

    In the other regions de-mand is evenly spread, with a few countries in each region spearheading growth. IHS ex-pects South Africa, Israel and Saudi Arabia to drive PV addi-tions in the Africa-Middle East region, while Chile, Brazil and Mexico will fuel demand in Latin America. In Asia-Pacific, PV de-mand is dominated by Thailand and South Korea, which are both on the brink of shifting their status from emerging to maturing PV markets.

    Tenders open up new opportunities across the globeThis year Uruguay, Jamaica, Rus-sia and Namibia are among new markets to pursue PV tenders. Meanwhile, Indonesia and Mo-rocco have announced plans to open PV tenders later this year.

    PV developers and suppli-ers will need to stay on top of these tenders in order not to miss any requests for proposal, Berg continued. Still, many tenders remain limited to a few projects, and suppliers will need

    to be selective over which ones are worth participating in. Large-scale tender schemes, such as South Africas Renewable Ener-gy Independent Power Producer Procurement (RE IPP) program, offer a more solid development environment to pursue a large portfolio of projects.

    Latin America attracts the largest developer pipelines

    Of the 30 largest PV devel-opers building up pipelines in emerging PV markets, 21 are concentrating their develop-ment efforts on Latin America. IHS reports more than 12 GW of projects in Latin Americas PV pipeline, 90 percent of which are early-stage projects that lack an off-take agreement.

    Competition for off-take agreements in markets like Chile is tightening, Berg said. Some developers are looking at selling PV-generated electricity on the merchant market. So far, only the International Finance Corp. has offered to sponsor such a project in Chile, in the hands of SunEdison.

    Competition for grid ac-cess will also be a bottleneck for PV developers. Out of Chiles 6 GW pipeline, IHS forecasts less than one-third will secure a revenue channel, close financing and finish con-struction by 2018.

    Power-One Inverters are used in the best performing solar projects

    According to the solar report Sunrise in Gujarat by Re-Solve Energy Consultants, Chennai; Power-One invert-ers have been used in two of the top 3 performing solar PV power plants in Gujarat.

    The report reviews the power generation of solar PV

    power plants in Gujarat from the period April 2012 to March 2013.

    The 2 of the top 3 plants include Unity Power [5MW] and Mono Steel (India) Ltd [10MW].

    The Unity Power plant ex-perienced a normalized gener-ation (MWh per MW per year)

    of 1865.7122 with a CUF of 21.2%; using thin film mod-ules from Solar Frontier.

    The Mono steel plant ex-perienced a normalized gener-ation (MWh per MW per year) of 1864.4292 with a CUF of 21.2%; using crystalline mod-ules from Waaree.

    RenewSys launches thinner backsheets and bus bar insulation sheet for PV modulesRenewSys, the quality manu-facturer of EVA Encapsulant and Backsheets based at Ben-galuru, India has announced the launch of its thinner Back-sheets in Fluoro and Non-Fluoro constructions and Bus Bar Insulation sheet for PV modules.

    Companys Backsheet range PRESERV now covers economically prices 300 mic Backsheet for off-grid appli-cation (600 VDC system volt-ages) todemanding 370 mic-Backsheet for grid connected applications (> 1000 VDC system voltage). The company had recently announced UL approval of 330 and 370 mic Backsheets. The UL Approval of its newly launched 300 mic Backsheet is expected soon.

    The Insulation sheet-branded as PRESERV E2 is based on Polyolefin-Polyester construction. Specially de-signed sheet has found to be exhibiting extremely high Peel Strengthwith Encapsulant and Backsheets and DHT rating in-dicating high performance and longer durability. The product is being supplied commercially.

    RenewSys has already been selling TUV and UL cer-tified CONSERV EVA Encap-sulant and Backsheets in do-mestic and overseas markets witnessing encouraging busi-ness growth since its incep-tion. With the launch of the thinner Backsheets and Bus Bar sheets, company feels it would be a great advantage for module makers to buy all

    the Polymeric components from a single source eliminat-ing issues relating to quality, inventory and logistics. Many domestic and overseas mod-ules makers have appreciated the move and acknowledged these advantages.

    To re-iterate, with a com-mitment to provide innovative & technology driven solutions, RenewSys has invested sig-nificantly in setting up a R&D center at its Bengaluru produc-tion facility. The company has recently added hi-tech UV test-er for conducting long-term reliability tests on solar compo-nents. This enables RenewSys partner with its clients to cre-ate customized solutions for mutual benefit and contribute in taking the industry forward.

    Inverter price pressure will continue for the remainder of 2013 says IHS PV market analystEvidence that the solar in-verter market has become overcrowded in certain key PV markets such as Germany is growing following Solu-tronics recent announce-ment of insolvency. Due to the high concentration of inverter suppliers in Germa-ny, and a rapid decrease in inverter shipments from over 9 GW in 2010 to just 4 GW in 2013, inverter prices have decreased by over 40% since 2010 as inverter suppliers compete in a shrinking do-mestic market.

    Although, numerous German inverter suppliers

    have expanded outside of their domestic market into growth inverter markets such as the UK, USA and South Africa, the pace of expansion has been in some instances too slow to compensate for the German markets con-traction, with revenues de-creasing from $2.7 billion in 2010 to $0.7 billion in 2013 according to our latest fore-cast. Even suppliers such as Solutronic who were early market entrants in promoting new advanced technologies such as energy storage were not able to withstand the ag-gressive price reductions.

    IHS forecasts that invert-er price pressure will contin-ue for the remainder of 2013 in Germany with average inverter prices forecast to reach $0.19 per watt which will continue to strain the revenue streams of suppli-ers that are heavily depend-ent on the German market. Demand from Germany is forecast to resume growth once again in 2014, but with inverter prices forecast to de-crease further still, the only respite for inverter suppliers will be in international PV markets or if consolidation occurs.

    Largest solar power project be set up in RajasthanThe Government has final-ized the setting up of a Ul-tra- Mega Green Solar Power Project in Rajasthan in the SSL (Sambhar Salts Limited; which is a subsidiary of Hindustan Salts Limited - a Central Pub-lic Sector Enterprise under the Department of Heavy Industry, Ministry of Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises) area close to Sambhar Lake, about 75 kms from Jaipur. The total ca-pacity of this project will be 4000 MW and, therefore, this will be the largest solar based power project in the world.

    Shri Praful Patel, Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, had earlier asked the Department of Heavy In-dustry (DHI) to initiate the pro-cess of setting up the Samb-har Ultra -Mega Green Solar Power Project in the 23,000 acre area of SSL as he had envisioned synergizing the capacities of the CPSEs under DHI to utilize the large area of SSL for producing green en-ergy. Shri Patel says the first phase of the project, which will be of 1000 MW capacity, is likely to be commissioned in three years i.e. by the end of 2016.

    The first phase of the project is expected to be im-plemented through a joint venture (JV) company to be formed with equity from BHEL, Solar Energy Corporation of India, Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd., SJVN, SSL and REIL. Based on the experience gained during implementation of the first phase of project, the remaining capacity would be implemented through a va-riety of models.

    Ramakrishna Mission Students Home adopts solar energy for cookingObserving the 150 birth anni-versary of Swami Vivekanan-da, Ramakrishna Mission Students Home and Clique Solar, pioneer in developing solar technologies for Indus-trial Process Heating (IPH), Community Cooking and Comfort Cooling applica-tions, launched ARUN100 at the Ramakrishna Mission Students Home premises.ARUN100 solar thermal system will provide enough steam to cook an equivalent of 3500-4000 meals (consist-ing of sambhar, rasam, rice, vegetables and dal) for the

    students and residents of the Mission daily.

    Need for Clean Renewable Energy at the Ramakrishna Mission Students Home: The kitchen at the Ram-akrishna Mission Students Home used LPG for firing boiler for steam cooking. We used 2 LPG cylinders (14.2 kg) per day, however given the recent rise in fuel prices LPG no longer a sus-tainable option. To overcome the problem of rising LPG cost, the team shifted to a

    custom made wood burner which burnt wood very effi-ciently and also reduced the amount of smoke. The cook-ing fuel bills were reduced to some extent.

    The plant uses the im-mense power of the sun by focusing the sunlight to a central receiver. Water flow-ing to the receiver is heated up and converted into steam which is used for cooking. ARUN dish is capable of moving and tracking the suns motion (Automated Dual Axis Tracking) and thus maximizing the efficiency of

    the system. The system is able to store steam as pres-surized hot water in a tank to be used later during early morning and night time cooking. This solar thermal system can produce around 600 kgs of steam on a clear sunny day and can be used to cook around 4000 meals a day with daily energy output of 4 lakh Kcal.

    Ministry of New and Re-newable Energy, Government of India, provide 30% finan-cial subsidy for the project.

    A FICCI-EY knowledge paper on Cleantech has called for greater utilization of available cleantech resources along with scaling up of the present capacities, rework-ing of pricing models to facilitate greater large-scale adoption of new technologies, and govern-ment policies, incentives, tax-cred-it schemes, subsidies modeled to

    phase out conventional sources of energy and replacing them with non-conventional ones.

    The paper notes that Clean-tech investment in India was US$6.9 billion for the year 2012 and was largely driven by sizeable energy demand-supply gap due to rapid industrial growth, popu-lation growth and urbanization,

    abundance of untapped renew-able energy resources, environ-mental and social issues related to conventional sources of energy. This makes India as one of the most active player in the cleantech market. However this opportunity comes with its own set of chal-lenges such as shortage of skilled manpower, adoption of new

    clean technologies, grid integra-tion and high capital expenditure.

    For the Government, there are clear takeaways in the form of increased energy supply and creation of livelihoods; for busi-nesses, there is a clear advantage to the first movers as they would enter an otherwise unchallenged market.

    Atlas Introduces the New Xenotest

    440 Xenon Weathering Instrument Atlas Material Testing Technol-ogy, the global leader in weath-ering technology and services, announces the introduction of a new weathering instrument suitable for performing accel-erated testing on a variety of materials.

    Debuting at the K 2013 show on October 16 23 in Dsseldorf, Germany (hall 10 booth D51), the Xenotest 440 sets a new standard in eco-nomical, mid-sized, air-cooled xenon devices. Designed for fast and economical testing, the Xenotest 440 combines new XenoLogic lamp oper-ating technology with an effi-cient design, that includes ul-

    trasonic humidifiers to reduce water consumption.

    XenoLogic is a revolution-ary new twin-lamp operating technology which enables the instrument to achieve high ir-radiance levels of 120 W/m2 of total UV radiation. By testing at higher irradiance levels, test times can be significantly re-duced, compared to standard weathering tests.

    In addition to its high irra-diance functionality, XenoLog-ic provides another significant advantage: an extended lamp service life. How does it work? XenoLogic continuously syn-chronizes two 2200W xenon lamps inside the chamber at

    the lowest possible stress lev-el, which leads to optimized lamp service life and maxi-mized light efficiency. With this new technology, the two xenon lamps combined can last over 4000 hours under standard testing levels of 40-60 W/m2. This increases in-strument uptime and reduces lamp operating costs by as much as 30% or more.

    The Xenotest 440 test chamber provides exceptional capacity for an array of materi-als and sample sizes:

    38 narrow (13.5 x 4.5 cm) test positions suitable for textiles, leather or paper specimens

    33 wide (10 x 6.8 cm) test positions suitable for plas-tics, paints and coatings specimens

    22 wide & long (13.5 x 5.5 cm) test positions suitable for technical textile / auto-motive interior specimens

    19 or 11 extra-long test posi-tions suitable for technical textiles/plastics specimens

    With its wide-ranging testing capabilities and its abil-ity to handle material-specific specimens, the Xenotest 440 is among the most versatile in-struments available, designed to cover todays and tomor-rows most commonly used in-dustry standards (ISO, ASTM).

    ASW owns and operates a 39.2 MW wind farm near Dwarka in Jamnagar district of Gujarat. The project which is fully operational since January 2012 has executed a power purchase agreement with GU-VNL for sale of the electricity at a tariff of Rs 3.56/kWh for the duration of the project. The project is registered with UNFCCC as a CDM project and is eligible to receive CERs. The project is also registered under the Generation Based Incentive

    scheme of MNRE.TPREL was selected as the

    preferred bidder in a process conducted by AES Corporation for sale of its 100% stake in ASW. The acquisition is subject to certain conditions, which are expected to be addressed in a few months time.

    With this acquisition, Tata Powers total generation capac-ity will increase to 8560 MW and its Wind Operational Gen-eration capacity to 437 MW with WTGs located across five states Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Kar-nataka, which are the leading states in promoting wind power generation in India.

    Speaking on achieving this

    milestone, Mr. Anil Sardana, Managing Director, Tata Power, said, Tata Power is committed to generating 20-25 % of its total generation capacity from clean energy sources and is proud to have signed this SPA to acquire 39.2 MW operational wind farm. The project is a clean energy project, which will enhance and increase companys clean energy footprint. This is our second ac-quisition of an operating wind asset and we are in constant look out for similar opportunities in respect of wind and solar plants. This is yet another step towards the Companys commitment to Sustainability.

    The Companys strategy emphasizes the development of

    clean energy generation from non-fossil fuel and renewable energy sources to balance the carbon emissions from fossil fuel based generation capacity while contributing towards en-ergy security of the country.

    Tata Power currently has four of its renewable projects registered under the Clean De-velopment Mechanism (CDM) program by United Nations Framework Convention on Cli-mate Change (UNFCCC). These projects include 50.4 MW Wind project at Gadag, 50.4 MW Wind project at Khandke and 50.4 MW Wind project at Sama-na in Maharashtra. The fourth project is the 25 MW Solar pro-ject at Mithapur, Gujarat.

    IndoGreenEnviro has exported the first Windstream SolarMill to UAEIndoGreenEnviro has export-ed the first SolarMill to UAE to demonstrate the claims and 24 hour power output through this hybrid energy equipment. SolarMill makes a high value proposition verses solar only or wind only equip-ments presently available in the market. This first instal-lation will open the doors for large market of these equip-ments in UAE.

    IndoGreenEnviro has added Windstream So-larMills, the hybrid energy power generation equip-ment, to their portfolio of green offerings last month. To start with the company is marketing this product in western region of India and

    has also started exploring the option of marketing So-larMill in UAE and Gulf coun-tries. IndoGreenEnviro has shipped first export consign-ment of SolarMill to Sharjah last week.

    Speaking on the occa-sion, Mr. Rahul Shringarpure told, We see a huge poten-tial for WindStream Solarmill in both India and Gulf coun-tries. This shipment to UAE is just a start towards large business ahead. We are con-fident that this SolarMill will be a huge success in UAE like the world over. This hybrid energy mill is small in size, at-tractive in design and afford-able at cost, which makes it attractive proposition for

    both business establishment and residential customers to meet the requirement of con-tinuous power supply.

    Mr. Rahul added, So-larMill produces power from sunlight as well as wind and therefore continuous power production happens for all the 24 hours rather than for just 5 hours in case of Solar only equipment. Furthermore hybrid energy solution aver-ages out the power output in non-sunny or non-windy days as wind-less days have high sunlight and vice versa thus ensuring continuous power supply with Hybrid energy equipment throughout the seasons. Therefore SolarMill as hybrid energy equipment

    gives high value proposition for every market.

    I N D I ASMART GRID

    IBM to develop an Advanced Smart Grid solution for Tata Power Delhi DistributionIBM announced that it has been selected by Tata Power Delhi Distribution to concep-tualize, design and deliver an Advanced Smart Grid solution that will collect and analyze re-al-time information from smart meters and data from the com-munication and management infrastructure. This will enable Tata Power Delhi Distribution to better manage energy out-put and further reduce out-ages.

    As a joint venture between Tata Power and the Delhi Gov-ernment, Tata Power Delhi Distribution sought a solution that would enhance the reli-ability and efficiency of energy distribution across the North-ern and North western part of Delhi. Additionally, the solution would also help empower its over 1.3 million electric con-sumers to manage their own energy usage.

    TPDDL is committed to accelerate the smart grid deployment which will give customers more visibility and control in managing their en-ergy usage and transform the electric network into a robust, secure and intelligent system. This is an important milestone for the energy distribution in India as we intensify our ef-forts to empower consumers and provide them choices of usage of their electrical appli-ances and manage their load efficiently. said Praveer Sinha, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director, Tata Power Delhi Distribution.

    In India, aggregated tech-nical and commercial losses that occur due to electricity transmission and energy theft

    are estimated at about 26.4 per cent on a national aver-age. The Government of India has launched the Restructured-Accelerated Power Develop-ment and Reforms Program (R-APDRP) with the aim to re-duce these losses in the coun-try and to improve the power distribution sector of state utili-ties, during 11th Five-Year Plan period, 2007-2012. The Five-Year Plans are centralized and integrated national economic programs.

    As a part of its smart grid initiative, Tata Power Delhi Dis-tribution will collaborate with IBM to develop an advanced metering infrastructure and demand response pilot pro-gram that will automate and regulate supply of electricity to consumers in sync with the fluctuating demand.

    This project will help add a layer of digital intelligence to the grid and ensure reliability when the demand rises expo-nentially and the supply falls due to heavy consumption. In addition, this will provide cus-tomer service improvements including new digital meters, enhanced self-service options and access to a customer por-tal to manage energy use.

    In the near future, utili-ties will look to integrate in-sights into their traditional grid operation solutions and also into customer, energy man-agement and environmental domains, said Rahul Sharma, Executive Director and Part-ner, Global Business Services, IBM India & South Asia. The advanced meter management solution builds real-time intel-ligence into the system, inte-

    grating information into busi-ness and operations systems quickly and easily.

    IBM will support Tata Pow-er Delhi Distribution to create system architecture, ensure adherence to international smart grid standards, optimize business process and incorpo-rate dynamic business analyt-ics function to offer action-able insights. In addition, Tata Power Delhi Distribution will leverage IBM expertise to inte-grate new advanced metering, meter data management, and demand response systems with existing applications including customer and geographic in-formation systems.

    An Advanced Infrastruc-ture based demand response is a complex exercise and has not been done in India before, and this engagement is the first step in creating an end-to-end intelligent utility system to manage generation short fall by peak shaving of actual load. Peak shaving is a technique that is used to reduce electri-cal power consumption during periods of maximum demand on the power utility and en-able consumer to redistribute loads to different period of the day, thus saving substan-tial amounts of money due to peaking charges.

    When complete, the mul-ti-phased engagement is ex-pected to enhance the relation-ship between Tata Power Delhi Distribution and its consumers thereby enabling more efficient consumption of electricity.

    IBM is involved in more than 150 Smart Grid engage-ments in mature and emerging markets.

    Pan-India study by AEEE and Schneider Electric of Indian BusinessSchneider Electric India, in partnership with AEEE has announced the findings of a national study on the en-ergy consumption profile of Indian businesses and drivers for clean energy investment. This survey was conducted in the month of September 2013, with 300 respondents across metro and Tier II cities in India providing details on how they look at their en-ergy consumption.

    The cities included in the study are four metros - Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore and Kolkata and eight Tier II cities - Ludhiana, Jaipur, Rajkot, Nasik, Lucknow, Vi-jayawada, Kochi and Patna. 170 (57%) respondents be-longed to the manufactur-ing and also small business sector, 110 (37%) respond-ents were from the building & construction sector, and the balance 6% represented

    miscellaneous industry.Sub-sets of industry

    verticals included food and beverage companies, tex-tiles, automobiles and auto ancillaries, pharma and the building and construction sector. Nearly 80% of the respondents were small and medium businesses, with over 50 responses from large enterprises. 54% of the re-spondents were from Met-ros, while the rest belonged to Tier II cities. The respond-ents were heads of admin-istration or finance, owners or chief operating officers of these companies.

    Unveiling the study, Anil Chaudhry, Managing Direc-tor and Country President, Schneider Electric India said, Were seeing rising energy costs impact bottom-lines across the industries in the country, especially impacting the SME sector. Rising energy

    costs is further compounded by lack of reliable grid supply. According to industry reports, power losses are reportedly costing India a GDP loss of US$ 68 Bn annually. In such a situation, we are seeing that industrial consumers of pow-er are keen to embrace new solutions on energy efficiency and management that can bring down costs or at least keep them constant.
