The Indian government is planning pilot projects to operate solar and wind power bundled with power from green hydrogen.
The Union power ministry is expected to assign state-run NTPC Ltd and Coal India Ltd to run the pilots.
The planned pilots will be cleaner than the previous RTC projects as thermal power will be replaced by power from green hydrogen-backed gas turbines.
Since electricity from solar and wind power plants is intermittent, they need backing from a more stable power source, such as battery storage or thermal power for uninterrupted supply. Existing round-the-clock (RTC) green power projects in India are largely bundled with thermal power.
