Data and models

Flow diagram of the GridPath-India modeling framework: demand projections and VRE, hydro, thermal and transmission availability factors feeding a capacity expansion model, with capacity credit and ELCC feedback, and a production cost model for economic dispatch

GridPath-India

Capacity expansion and production cost model of India's electricity system, built on the open-source GridPath platform. 34 load zones plus Bhutan, interstate transmission, and hourly demand from linearly scaled and bottom-up profiles, with investment and operations optimized across planning periods from 2020 to 2050. Includes more than 1,300 candidate wind and solar sites and project-level capacity factors.
