Source provenance
verified · Verified upstream link

The snapshot value comes from a verified upstream feed or anchor.

Source
RRVPNL (Rajasthan SLDC) re-curtailment PDFs — MEASURED Relief-MW × duration event energy. 0.052 TWh in the Jan–May 2026 published reports (75 rows, 52 medium-confidence manual-from-scan). Dashboard 30-day figure spreads that floor across the 151-day report window; not annualised to a TWh/yr. Monthly PDFs, not a live feed, hence T2 not T1. Flat 24/7 profile: events are not an hourly series. Supersedes CEA×Ember ~4.6 TWh/yr, which overstated this floor by ~50× (issue #964).

  • Structural gap: no
  • Methodology note: T2-annual-calibrated (measured RRVPNL re-curtailment PDF event energy; 30-day figure spreads 0.052 TWh across the 151-day Jan–May 2026 report window). Not T1a — monthly PDFs, not a live feed. Not annualised to a TWh/yr.
  • Source provenance: verified — event energy is published by RRVPNL; 52 of 75 rows are medium-confidence manual-from-scan of official image-only PDFs.

Calibration

  • Rate source documented in: docs/methodology/ (see links below)
  • Uniform across backfill years: n/a — no backfill
  • Energy source: RRVPNL re-curtailment PDFs, Relief MW × duration hours
  • Committed extraction: data/historical/india-rajasthan-rrvpnl-curtailed-events.csv (75 rows, 0.052327 TWh, 52 manual_from_scanned_pdf)
  • 30-day dashboard figure: 0.052327 × 30 / 151 — report-window rate, not a TWh/yr
  • Superseded path: CEA generation × Ember India 2024 6% (~4.6 TWh/yr) is no longer plotted

  • TSO published floor (plotted): RRVPNL re-curtailment PDFs — 0.052 TWh for Jan–May 2026 (0.050 solar / 0.002 wind; 75 rows, 52 manual-from-scan). Not annualised. Issue #964.
  • Dashboard 30-day: ≈0.010 TWh (0.052 × 30 / 151)
  • Superseded CEA×Ember modelled annual: ≈4.6 TWh/yr (~71 TWh solar × 6% / 0.94). The previous ~6.3 TWh/yr included Excel serial 45944 as energy.

Bad-conversions check

# Item Verdict Reason
1 DSM / deviation values used as curtailment no Energy is Relief MW × duration hours from RRVPNL event tables, not a DSM/deviation settlement
2 Capacity-at-risk MW used as curtailed energy MWh no Each row multiplies relief MW by duration hours to get MWh
3 Instruction percentage without a generation denominator no Source is event energy, not an instruction %
4 Blank or dash treated as zero no February/Nov/Dec image-only reports are OCR-reviewed as no obvious rows, not audited zeroes; they sit inside the 151-day window without invented daily NIL rows
5 Modelled fallback labelled as verified measurement no Dashboard plots the RRVPNL PDF floor. CEA×Ember ~4.6 TWh/yr is named as the superseded estimate. 52 of 75 rows remain medium-confidence manual-from-scan

Discrepancy analysis

Pending: no backfill parquet yet for this region. Once HB.1 / HB.2 land the per-year totals for this region, this section will summarise the Δ vs TSO/Ember/IRENA and flag any year exceeding ±25%.

The dashboard plots the RRVPNL PDF floor (0.052 TWh over Jan–May 2026), not CEA×Ember. That floor is >50× below the superseded modelled annual (~4.6 TWh/yr). Caveats: 52 of 75 rows are manual-from-scan; February/Nov/Dec image-only reports were OCR-reviewed as no obvious rows, not audited zeroes; Relief MW × duration may undercount if a report layout is not energy; the 30-day figure is the floor × 30/151, not a TWh/yr. The modelled annual had moved 6.3 → 4.6 TWh/yr earlier because a 2025-10-14 Excel serial-date parse error (~46 TWh of fake solar) was repaired.

Known limitations

  • The plotted figure is a five-month PDF floor, not a calendar-year total. 0.052 TWh in published Jan–May 2026 reports; 30-day dashboard energy is that floor × 30/151. Not annualised. 52 of 75 rows are medium-confidence manual-from-scan.
  • Hourly shape is flat 24/7: the source is event energy, not a 24-hour series. A solar typical-shape would have kept this in T3.
  • The RRVPNL listing (sldc.rajasthan.gov.in/rrvpnl/re-curtailment) still 403s/times out from non-Indian IPs; later-2026 PDFs are not in this sample. Not T1a.
  • Grid-India NLDC daily VRE reports and third-party aggregators of them are not this region's source.
