Implementation and Operational Analysis of Aggregators in India’s Renewable Energy Sector

India’s power system is undergoing a rapid transformation driven by large-scale integration of renewable energy (RE) to meet its target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. While this transition supports sustainability objectives, the growing share of variable renewable generation poses significant operational and commercial challenges related to forecasting accuracy, scheduling, grid stability, and deviation management. To address these challenges, the Aggregator framework has emerged as a key institutional mechanism for coordinated integration of renewable energy into the Indian power grid. As
