Technical FAQs 4

Will solar and wind power projects include automatic weather station?

Going ahead, all bids for solar and wind power projects will include a clause for the installation of automatic weather station on the site, the Central Electricity Authority stated in its guidelines.

Should solar energy storage systems be co-located with solar power projects?

In February, the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) issued an advisory on co-locating energy storage systems with solar power projects to enhance the cost efficiency and stability of the grid. The solar and wind generation depend on weather conditions. There are issues like not getting accurate weather forecasts.

Why is AWS mandatory at solar and wind sites?

CEA makes AWS mandatory at solar and wind sites to boost accuracy in forecasting, minimise grid errors, and improve renewable generation efficiency in India.

Does a wind and solar project need a weather monitoring system?

"All existing and upcoming wind and solar power projects with capacities of 50 MW or more are required to deploy AWS with specified sensors to monitor weather parameters including solar irradiance, wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and rainfall.
