- Abstract
Lift irrigation is a method of supplying water to the crops by pumping water using power intensive synchronous machines to an upper altitude terrain or reservoir. These loads depend on the availability of water and are predominant during monsoon period. Incidentally, this period is also the major wind generation season in India. These synchronous loads can be made flexible and can provide near instantaneous active and reactive power response, similar to hydel plants. This paper presents how these loads can be exploited for better grid operation, facilitating RE integration, reducing instances of RE curtailment, using study results from an optimization software. The commercial gains to the home state have also been presented.
