INTRODUCTION

Renewable Energy in particular Wind and Solar has become mainstay in meeting energy needs having achieved grid

parity in term of costs as well as technical requirement. With the raising concerns on climate change, countries are under

pressure to turn renewable energy sources and reduce CO2 emissions. The installed capacity of Renewable Power has

reached over 2000 GW including Hydro and proved as successful energy option. The wind and solar energy available

potential is huge and can meet the world's total energy demand easily but only very few countries optimally utilizing this

environmentally friendly energy resources in large scale due to shortage of skilled human power. The workshop is

proposed to address this issue.

India, over the years, has been a trend-setting nation with regards to wind & solar power utilization. The Indian wind &

solar energy programme has been very successful in commercializing and it is interesting to note that India stands fourth

in world in terms of installed wind power capacity with 36 GW and fth in solar PV with 33 GW power installed capacity as

on date. India is having an ambitious target of 175 GW from Renewable Energy by the year 2022, out of which 100 GW

from Solar and 60 GW from Wind.

BRIEF ABOUT NIWE

National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), formerly Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET) was established at

Chennai in 1998 by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Government of India, New Delhi to cater for all

scientic and technological needs of the vibrant and wind based renewable energy sector. One of the Charters of this

institute is to provide training and empower scientists and technologists with right kind of knowledge base.

NIWE is emerging as a premier institute of its kind in the South East Asia perhaps in developing countries, it is NIWE's

responsibility to speed up wind and solar energy development not only in the country but also in neighbouring region. As

part of such activities, NIWE has been conducting National and International training programs and has already

successfully organized 40 International Training Course and 32 National Training courses. Through its training, 855

international participants from 98 countries and 1399 participants across India had participated and got benetted.

NIWE is the technical focal point for the development of wind energy in the country and is also does Solar Resource

Assessment and RE forecasting. With vast experience in conducting training courses, it is worthy effort that NIWE can

incorporate lessons learned from its own experience and foster wind and solar energy developments across the country

and other geographical sub-regions. With this context, a one week International Workshop on “Scaling up of Renewables

(Wind and Solar) Generation with the focus on Policy Initiatives” for the benet of The Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-

Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) Member Countries is proposed to address all aspects of wind

and solar energy starting from introduction to wind & solar energy, evolution & developments, investment techniques of

wind & solar farms, policies and supportive schemes, economical analysis of wind & solar projects in a focused manner

with eld visit and factories towards scaling up of renewables (wind and solar) generation. NIWE with its pre-eminent

position has all the knowledge and facility to undertake such an important task.

OBJECTIVES

The objective / aim of this workshop is to transfer

knowledge and special skills related to wind and solar

energy to the senior level ofcials from BIMSTEC

Member Countries. Moreover, the workshop provides

an invaluable platform for dialogue and open

exchange of views and experiences. The participants

will also get an exposure to the operating wind and

solar farms and manufacturing facilities etc.

VENUE

The venue for the programme will be the Conference

Hall of National Institute of Wind Energy, Chennai,

India.

RESOURCE PERSONSThe resource persons for this workshop will be NIWE

engineers, industry professionals, academicians and other

national experts who have signicantly contributed for wind

and solar energy development in the country.

(a) Class room lectures including exercises and case studies

to stimulate active participation and dialogue.

(b) Panel discussions on the thrust areas of wind and solar

power

© Meet with wind and solar stakeholders

(d) Study visits to operating wind and solar farms and

manufacturing facilities to enhance effective transfer of

knowledge.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY

ELIGIBILITYDegree in any subjects, Diploma / Engineering holders with

working knowledge of English with brief exposure in wind

and solar energy sectors.
