Impact & Delivery

Key Contributions

CMET's technical assessments, field pilots, and regulatory engagements are driving tangible progress in clean energy.

Integration

State-level Renewable Integration

Conducted detailed studies to identify optimal locations for solar and storage deployment based on transmission network headroom, land availability, and system constraints, minimizing infrastructure upgrade costs.

Volt-VAR

Reactive Power & Voltage Control

Developed and demonstrated innovative approaches using solar inverters for reactive power support, providing a viable alternative to capacitor banks and enabling dynamic voltage regulation.

Field Pilots

Demonstration Projects

Successfully implemented live pilot projects (e.g., feeder-level deployments under PM-KUSUM), validating volt-VAR control, night-time reactive power support, and decentralized grid services.

Regulation

Policy & Regulatory Engagement

Supported state agencies and regulators through evidence-based inputs, contributing to progressive policy directions, including the integration of grid-support functionalities in distributed renewable systems.

Grid Modeling

Advanced Grid Analytics & Modeling

Utilizing tools such as ETAP, PSS®E, and real-time data frameworks to perform load flow analysis, hosting capacity assessment, contingency studies, and resource adequacy planning.
