I.INTRODUCTION
Generation from renewable energy sources largely depends
on the nature like wind velocity and sunshine. The variability
of RES power can be addressed through improved
forecasting techniques, which are still evolving. When the
percentage of RES becomes significant, special attention
needs to be paid to accurately forecast their output. India is a
country of continental size and this is helpful in balancing the
variable output of renewable energy sources located in few
states by integrating them into all India grids. The interstate
and inter regional transmission infrastructure is already being
developed and it is expected that all the five electrical regions
of India would be synchronously connected in 2014.
However, new transmission corridors would be required for
evacuating green energy from states such as Tamil Nadu,
Gujarat, Rajasthan and J & K (Ladakh). It has now been
recognised by the transmission planners that in view of the
short gestation period of RE plants, the transmission has to
lead generation and would require upfront investment. Such
transmission corridors required in the next five year time
span have already been firmed up through the established
process of coordinated transmission planning and their
implementation is being taken up progressively.

CONCLUSION
The Taking into account the ambitious plans for the
development of electricity from RES in India it is obvious
that significant changes are needed in Indian electricity
systems. This is due to the fact that notably wind and solar
energy can be harvested best at locations which are neither
close to the centres of demand nor close to current major
transmission lines. Furthermore, the variability and
intermittency of wind and solar generation requires an
