6. SCOPE OF WORK
As per electricity grid code, regulations and its amendments time to time from Hon’ble
commission, to maintain grid discipline and grid security leads to requirement of load
forecasting and renewable generation forecasting. In the Rajasthan State, the load of
the system is widely varying with climate condition and social occasion. Further,
Rajasthan has significant development of RE (wind and solar) generation in the system.
Electricity generation from wind farm and solar plant depends on wind speed, direction,
temperature, humidity, radiation etc. Due to variable and uncertain nature of such
weather parameters, electricity generation from RE power plant also become variable,
intermittent and uncertain.
In view of above, conventional generators have to be regulated to cope up variation of

renewable generation to maintain drawl from ISGS as per DSM (Deviation settlement
Mechanism) regulation.
RUVNL in Rajasthan is responsible for optimum scheduling and dispatch. Accurate load
forecasting, RE (wind & solar) generation forecasting, and scheduling optimization
mechanism can optimize uses of conventional generator resources, fully
accommodation of RE generation into grid and compliance of DSM.
The contract will require the selected bidder to provide Complete integrated solution
online web-based application of “Load Forecasting, RE (Wind & Solar) Generation
Forecasting and Schedule Optimizer” inclusive of trend, analysis, summary, various
reports etc. as per the requirement. All function shall be in 5/15-minute block-wise in
MWh (5-minute scope is taken looking to the regulatory aspect of system operation of 5
minute in future).
