Abstract

Solar Photovoltaic systems are widely becoming the alternative source of energy across the world. The graph of solar is increasing day by day in India and 100 GW has been set as a challenge to Indian Power sector but on the same time the grids are highly disturbed due to improper forecasting which has been seen from case of one of the oldest “Charanka Solar Park” in Gujarat. DSM/ABT came into existence due to the blackout faced by India citizens during 2000 and 2012 to establish a grid security as well as grid balancing. A report has been observed that for 6–7 hours of duration around 65 GW-70 GW was imbalance found in India and to maintain that coal, hydro, and nuclear will be the backbone to whole infrastructure.
