Abstract: Abstract Integration of renewable energy sources (RES) to the grid comes with its own set of challenges like overgeneration, limited frequency regulation capabilities, lack of flexibility of the generation, and voltage fluctuation due to the intermittent nature of generation. All these issues are even more pronounced when the generation mix is slightly leaning towards the Solar generation. With much of the load taken up by RES, the net load suffers a huge valley during the noon followed by the steep ramp in the evening. This phenomenon is termed as the duck curve because the graph looks like a sitting duck. In this paper, the load profile of the present Indian grid scenario has been considered to highlight the issue of the duck curve. Using this curve various strategies have been proposed to handle the issue of the duck curve and the results of the implementation of these strategies have been presented to highlight the importance of these strategies to handle the duck curve. Furthermore, TOPSIS a multi-criteria decision making framework has been utilized in this paper to rank the various strategies used in the mitigation of the Duck curve.
