GREEN ENERGY CORRIDOR
UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Write a note on Indian Green Energy Corridor to alleviate the problem of conventional energy.
Green Energy Corridor - The green energy corridor project launched in 2013 at synchronizing electricity produced from renewable sources, such as solar and wind, with conventional power stations in the grid.
The voltage fluctuations is the main problem in integrating electricity generated from renewable source to conventional power grids. Due to varying voltage and supply, these conventional grids face difficulty in absorbing renewable energy. To tackle this problem, a planned transmission system under Green Energy Corridor Project is made dynamic to handle the voltage variations leading to all grids across the nation, which is pre requisite to achieve the 175 GW target for renewable energy generation capacity by 2022.
⦿ Energy policy of India has mentioned that the expanding energy deficit which could not be fulfilled with conventional energy sources as they are limited, will shift its focus towards renewable sources like wind and solar.
⦿With the adequate implementation of the green energy corridor project, India will be able to decrease its fuel imports and further decreasing its deficiency.
⦿ The renewable energy gives stable grid operation in comparison to conventional energy.
⦿Green energy corridor, if successful, can even make India energy exporter in global market, as India has significantly huge amount of solar and wind energy.
