The Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC) lays down regulations to be followed by various persons and participants to plan, develop, maintain and operate power system in the country in a secure, economic, reliable, resilient and efficient manner. The regulations provide for integration of renewable energy resources in the grid, flexible operation of energy resources, optimum scheduling & dispatch, open access, promoting competition in the generation sector and various measures including reserves necessary for grid stability. It seeks to create a robust framework for maintaining demand-supply balance under credible contingencies and an enabling framework for transition to clean energy sources. The technical talk would provide details about changes in IEGC which are relevant for RE integration.
