Topical Reports

The aim of this report is to provide a concept design for a demonstration project of 150 to 504 MW in Gujarat’s most promising offshore wind development area, “Zone A” identified in the pre-feasibility study. This provides companies and government institutions with a starting point for future detailed offshore Front End Engineering Design (FEED) studies and assists with the identification of key project risks in Gujarat. A parallel study has been conducted for the state of Tamil Nadu.

On behalf of the FOWIND project consortium, we are pleased to present our latest Grid Integration Study for Offshore Wind in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu an important outcome of the project. The four-year project aims to put together a roadmap for developing a sustainable and commercially viable offshore wind industry in India. This report addresses the following key question on how to prepare the state power systems to connect offshore wind project in Gujarat and Tamil Nadu?

The report, called “From Zero To Five GW: Offshore Wind Outlook for Gujarat and Tamil Nadu (2018-2032)“, gives a clear picture of the amount of new offshore wind capacity that can be reliably incorporated into the two state grids over the next three 5-year plan periods, starting in 2018.
