BRICSLICS: CfPs: 1st International Conference on Large-Scale Grid Integration of Renewable Energy in India | 6-8 September

1st International Conference on Large-Scale Grid Integration of Renewable Energy in India

6-8 September 2017 | New Delhi, India

Organized by: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Germany | United States Agency for International Development (USAID), USA | Energynautics GmbH, Germany

The 1st International Conference on Large-Scale Grid Integration of Renewable Energy in India is organized by Deutsche Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ); United States Agency for International Development (USAID); and Energynautics, Germany.

The Government of India has set the very ambitious goal to install 175 GW of renewable energy generation capacity by 2022. Grid integration thus becomes a very critical challenge to successfully accomplish this target. This international conference aims to connect international experts and Indian stakeholders to jointly discuss the latest technological, regulatory and conceptual developments in this field.

The Conference provides an International Forum to:

Discuss technical and economic issues of the large-scale integration of solar and wind power including the recent advances in transmission technologies (AC and DC)
Discuss worldwide project experiences
Discuss innovative ideas and present results from ongoing research
Stimulate interdisciplinary thinking between renewable energy and power transmission and distribution industries, as well as universities
Identify subjects requiring more research efforts.

Call for Papers

To submit a paper, upload an abstract of maximum 3,000 characters (free style) between 17 January & 31 March 2017. Final papers must then be submitted online by 31 July 2017. As the conference language is English, all abstracts have to be written in English. All participants are responsible for paying their own travel and hotel expenses. Conference admission is free.
