Design of Inter-state Transmission System for the World’s Largest Renewable Energy Park (~45GW) at Khavda, Gujarat in India - Planning Perspective & Transient Stability Analysis

India’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based installed capacity by 2030 has driven the development of ultra-large renewable energy (RE) zones and corresponding highcapacity transmission systems. The Khavda Renewable Energy Park in Gujarat, with an ultimate planned capacity of 42 GW, is a flagship project in this transition and is expected to become the world’s largest RE complex. Its remote location near the Indo–Pakistan border, long evacuation distances, limited right-of-way availability, weak grid conditions, and dominance of inverter-based resources (IBRs) pose unprecedented challenges for transmission planning and system stability.
