IntroductionNon renewable energy sources will become exhausted

by the year 2050.No other notable energy source has been invented yet

or will take time to commercialize on a global scale. Pollution is being a major factor against non

renewable energy sources.So under the green campus initiative, Silicon installed a

30 KW solar power plant for meeting its local loads.

Green Campus Initiative Student initiative of University of Cape Town( South Africa) for

sustainable and environment friendly campus.

This has also been taken up by universities such as Havard University (Massachusetts, USA) MIT ( USA) IIT Powai KIIT University

Silicon Bhubaneswar has also joined the legacy by installing an on grid30kW rooftop solar power plant.

Necessity of Solar Power Plant in Silicon

Monthly electrical energy requirement is 1 lakh units (KWh).

Monthly bill :8-10 lakh Rupees.

Fine is imposed due to over consumption of reactive power.

Hence to ease some load off the grid, the power plant was installed to cater local needs.

Rooftop Solar Power PlantOFF GRID: Here power is stored in batteries which

are later inverted and sent to loads.

ON GRID: The inverter associated with solar plant is directly connected to local grid with suitable frequency.

Silicon has on grid power system.

Components Used

Solar PV cell

Material:Mono Crystalline( Silicon cut into wafers)

Maximum output:315KWp Arranged in 6 rows(3x19 & 3x20) Efficiency: 15% So ideal power output=

315KW*117 panels

=36.8KWh

Components Used

Distribution Panel• Consists of 3 Phase

connection to local grid of Silicon.

Protection Devices

• Fuses• Surge Protectors

Page 13: Grid connected rooftop solar power plant at silicon

Components Used

Net Meter• Bidirectional• Measures both imported

and exported energy

Data Logger Used for monitoring RJ45 connector to LAN

Output Power CalculationSolar Resource Data-India• Satellite data of a location for estimated solar radiation• Details of power plant (Capacity, Azimuth, Tilt, Losses)• Annual output power: 44 MW

Calculation using Capacity Utilization Factor(CUF)

• CUF of Bhubaneswar is 14%• Output= Power rating x CUF x 24hours x 365 days

= (30 KW ) x (0.13) x (24) x (365) ~42 MW annually

April 160 4803 37,000

May 149 4614 34,000

Cost Benefit Analysis

Total cost ~ 17.5 lakhs (30% subsidy) Annual power generated ~ 41 MW Financial equivalent ~ 3.28 lakhs(INR 8 per unit) Break even ~ 7 Years (8% interest) Life Span ~ 25 Years

Direct Profit ~ INR 6 million

Page 19: Grid connected rooftop solar power plant at silicon

Future Expansions

If whole rooftop of Silicon is utilized

• The total area covered would be 7-8 times the present area.

• Total generation would be 328 MW

• Almost one-fourth of total load demand can be met by solar plant.

Page 20: Grid connected rooftop solar power plant at silicon

Solar at your Home 1 m sq. of solar panel gives around 200 W For a 10 m sq area, total power= 2000 W (or 2KW) So monthly power generated= 200 units

Almost half the load demand of a normal home(without AC)

Alternatively, DC output from PV panel can be connected to the charging circuit of inverter.

Page 21: Grid connected rooftop solar power plant at silicon

Conclusion Total power produced annually is ~42 Mega Watts.

Profit of ~3 lakhs per year after break-even.

Clean source of energy.

One time investment, long term returns.

Government subsidies available.
