1.3 Forecast
Forecasting predicts the wind and solar power generation close to actual, for smooth grid
operations and enhance grid security. The User Interface of forecasting tool represents the power
generation trends in charting analytics like Line chart, Pie chart, Heat chart, Accuracy Evaluation
and tables.
• Line graph represents the report, through a series of data points connected with a straight
line, to visualize its trend, for the given period.
• Pie chart represents percentage wise proportion of various parameters. Pie Chart divides a
circle into multiple slices that are proportional to their contribution towards the total sum.
The user can hover over the Pie Chart, to view the value and the percentage of the
parameter in comparison to the total.
• A heat map is a graphical representation of data where the individual values contained in
a matrix are represented as colours. Fractal maps and tree maps both often use a similar
system of color-coding to represent the values taken by a variable in a hierarchy.
• The table provides the data in tabular format for the given period. A detailed report of the
data can be copied/downloaded in .csv or .pdf format/Printed/calculated from the
respective options available next to the search box.
The Display and configuration settings in the dashboard allows the user to select various display
options to represent the graph. The configuration setting allows the user to Zoom in and Zoom

Dashboard saves and displays the last used/selected dashboard by the user on the screen. This
module makes it easy
The Internal Forecasting tool provides a reference power forecast taking historical, real time and
weather data as inputs. IFT will run different models based on the availability of SCADA data.
The models will analyse to the input data and automatically train itself to provide the best
forecast.
Internal Forecasting tool has 3 modules to facilitate this process.

Control panel provides details regarding the training model used for each revision type for all the
downstream registered. The forecast training model is selected by the Artificial Intelligence (AI)
layer, based on the input data analysis. An update option is provided to change the training
model and manually trigger the required model. The control panel also displays the last used
trigger details for tracking purpose.
1.5.2 IFT Training log
The purpose of the training log is to record the details of the model used for each downstream
and. The log is represented by a table containing the following details in a consecutive order:
• The name of the Downstream unit
• RE generation type of the Downstream unit
• Generation capacity of the Downstream unit
• Injection capacity of the Downstream unit
• The date on which the model was last trained
• The from and to duration for which the actual data is analysed.

1.5.3 FCA Dashboard
The Forecast Combination and Aggregation (FCA) tool will consider the inputs from the IFT and
all the Forecast Service Provider (FSP) to apply an optimization technique to combine or
selectively combine the forecast. The optimization is done by assigning a dynamic weightage to
all the forecast inputs, which may be combined based on the performance. The dashboard is
represented by a table containing the following details in a consecutive order:
• The hierarchy of mapping from upstream unit to PoS

• The weightage of all 5-forecast input (IFT, 3 FSPs and FCA) for each PoS
• The last optimization date
The combination is done in such a way to provide an optimal forecast with highest accuracy.

2.7 Grid Management
Grid management is done to keep the grid stable by reducing/restricting/restoring the capacity
and direction of flow and allowing schedule management as per grid needs considering the Open
Access regulation and guidelines.
2.7.1 Registration
Grid management is facilitated in the portal through Curtailment, restoration and Schedule
management. Each of this will be explained in the below sections.
2.7.1.1 Curtailment
Curtailment process allows reducing or restricting of scheduled power (declared forecast) based
on the grid needs considering the Open Access regulation and guidelines. Curtailment can be
initiated for future time blocks for various reasons like transmission congestion, lack of
transmission access, excess generation during low load periods, voltage, or interconnection
issues. Curtailment can be done on daily basis for a maximum 96-time blocks (from the next
time block of current time to the last time block of the day). Curtailment module various options
to facilitate the curtailment process.
Time Period: The User must select, the from and to date, time stamp for which the curtailment
will be applicable from the calendar.

2.7.1.1.1 Curtailment Factors
There are five types of curtailment that can be initiated.
1. Restrict wrt Installed Capacity by MW

2. Restrict wrt Installed Capacity by %
3. Curtail by MW
4. Curtail by %
5. Restrict wrt Schedule by MW
All types of Curtailment process has to abide by a set of conditions as follows

• If sum of scheduled power of selected transaction is greater than the curtailed power, then
Scheduled power of each transaction will be curtailed by value which will be co rated
based on curtailment value and Installed capacity. This is done to maintain uniformity in
curtailment for all the contracts.
• If the Curtailment value is greater than the Scheduled Value for a contract, then the
Scheduled value is Considered.
• If the Scheduled value is greater than the Curtailment Value for a contract, then the
Curtailment value is Considered.

Type 1- Restrict Installed/Contract Capacity by 150 MW
The Schedule was initially curtailed to a value of 150 MW. The Curtailed Schedule was restored
to different values, less/more than the Curtailment value, Full/Zero Capacity of the Scheduled
Value. The table below contains a consolidated data of the restoration values.

• Restoration to a value greater than Curtailment Value (200 MW)
• Restoration to a value lesser than Curtailment Value (100 MW)
• Restoration to Zero value of the Contract Capacity (0 MW)
• Restoration to Full value of the Contract Capacity (422.55 MW). Note: In this case the
Schedule is restored to 256 MW, not to 422.55 MW (total contract capacity) considering
the condition, “If the Curtailment value is greater than the Scheduled Value for a
contract, then the Scheduled value is Considered”
Type 2- Restrict Installed/Contract Capacity by 75 %
The Schedule was initially curtailed to a value of 75% of Contract Capacity. The Curtailed
Schedule was restored to different values, less/more than the Curtailment value, Full/Zero
Capacity of the Scheduled Value. The table below contains a consolidated data of the restoration
values.
