Technical requirements: The Green Energy Corridors (GEC) programme of Govt. of India aims at increasing the capacity of the Indian electricity grid. The technical cooperation component under the project ‘Green Energy Corridors’ is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and is implemented in India by GIZ under the Indo — German Energy Program (IGEN) in cooperation with the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
The objective of the assignment is to enable and extend support to NIWE (National Institute of Wind Energy — research institution under the MNRE) for the development of indigenous solar PV forecasting capability. During the assignment, capabilities have to be imparted to NIWE, so that the institute is able to sustainably continue performing solar PV forecasting independently after the completion of the project. In addition to the support to NIWE other relevant Indian stakeholders, including load despatch centres etc., may also be supported.
The project aims to develop solar power forecasting infrastructure at NIWE and develop the capabilities of the NIWE personnel, other relevant stakeholders to perform solar power forecasting effectively. The contract duration will be 24 months (expected to start from December 2016). The entire activity is divided into twelve different work packages.
Work Package 1: Initial Assessment of the existing infrastructure in NIWE for solar power forecasting.
Work Package 3: Set-up of a data management structure for PV system data incl. the selection of test sites for carrying out experiments on solar power forecasting.
