 III) TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
A) Solar Data Resources & Comparison of Accuracy from Different Sources:

The 1.0 MWAC Solar PV Plant is proposed to be installed at the location of 33.648465N and (-
115.808773) E (near Palm Springs, CA, USA). There are a set of possible solar irradiation data sources
acquired for this particular location. The datasets either make use of ground based measurements at
well controlled meteorological stations or use processed satellite imagery. OSSC has extracted the
best suitable monthly Global Horizontal Irradiation data for the given site coordinates from
METEONORM 7, PVGIS, SWERA & NASA-SSE.

Solar Irradiation Data Analysis

The comparison of solar data for Shankarpura site illustrated in the Table 4 suggests; SWERA
dataset to give the highest irradiation levels. The next highest irradiation is given by METEONORM
7, followed by NASA-SSE.

The SWERA data illustrated has been obtained for a location approximately 37km away from the
proposed site. This data however, is not available exclusively for India, rather for neighboring

The irradiation values given by Meteonorm 7 typically provide a combination of ground and satellite
measured data. Meteonorm 7 has interpolated the data using 30% satellite data for the proposed
site. Uncertainty of satellite data is obtained as 7% for the proposed site.

The NASA-SSE data source provides purely satellite measured data for a grid covering 1x1on the
earths surface and generally more suited for initial site selection.

PVGIS includes a database of the horizon height around each point one can choose in the region. In
this way, the calculation of PV performance can take into account the effects of mountains and hills
casting shadows onto the PV system. The resolution of the horizon information is 3 arc-seconds
(around 90m), so things that are very near, such as houses or trees are not included.

The New PVGIS data are smaller than the average measured data but higher than the measured data
of Meteonorm 7.1.

After a number of calculation & analysis, it has been observed that the data of Metonorm 7 is
close to real situation and deviates only by 5-7% from it. Followed by Meteonorm 7.1, closes
to it is PVGIS then SWERA & NASA-SSE.

 B) SPV Power Plant Design
Designing a megawatt-scale solar PV power plant is an involved process that requires considerable
technical knowledge and experience. There are many compromises that need to be made in order to
achieve the optimum balance between performance and cost.
For this project we have considered Poly-Crystalline Solar PV Module, Central Inverter & Fixed tilt type
Module Mounting Structure. We have used Meteonorm 7.1 generated Solar Resource data for the
entire techno-commercial analysis in this report. For the simulation purpose, we have used PVsyst
6.39 software an Industry Leading Solar Design Analysis tool to complete the generation
assessment of the proposed PV system.

The loss details which we have considered during the simulation have been tabulated here in the next
chapter (3. Energy Yield Assessment).

Total Solar PV System configuration details have been briefed in the above table (Table 6).
Solar PV Module Technology is considered to be Poly-Crystalline. We recommend using 320Wp, 72
cells Poly-Si Module for the purpose as there are some significant advantages of this module which
are:
Easily Available to Any Module Manufacturer/ Supplier.
Lead delivery time is much less compared to other Watt peak modules
Price per Watt peak is the lowest compared to the other Watt Peak modules
Dimension of the Module is same as of the 300Wp of the same manufacturer which gives
higher ground coverage ratio.

Page | 6
info@omsaisolar.com
amrit.mandal0191@gmail.com
 Performance & Efficiency wise 310Wp (Eff: 16.2% or more) is much better than lower watt
peak modules (e.g Eff. of 300Wp Canadian Solar Module is 15.63% whereas 320Wp has eff.
Of 16.5%)

Solar Inverter: During the system design, OSSC has considered ABB 1000kW Central Inverter as the
PCU. The reason of selecting ABB 1000kW central Inverter over its competitor Make like SMA, TMEIC
etc are as follows:
Compared to SMA & equivalent, ABB offers best price in this Inverter segment.
Quality & service wise ABB is far superior than TMEIC, Delta and any other South-East Asian
Make inverter
ABB has long track record as Solar Inverter and well established brand in the market. Its
Parent company is one of the most Trusted Electrical Brand worldwide.
We have done simulation using SMA, ABB, TMEIC, Green power 1000kW Solar Inverters in
PVsyst under the same climatic & electrical parameters and found out that ABB inverter gives
higher AC output compared to others. If required by Investors team, we can submit such
analytical report separately.
The significant technical advantage of ABB is that it has higher Temperature de-rating factor
compared to any other Inverters available in the market at this range which makes the ABB
inverter applicable in very harsh climate zone like desert area and where the ambient
temperature rises near to 500C.

Mounting of PV modules will be ground based facing the True ZERO azimuth and fixed tilt at the
Latitude of the project site which is here 300 facing south (after azimuth correction). Mounting
structures as per IS & Industry standard is considered during the design configuration. The relevant
standards & make mentioned in the annex-I & II respectively.

Transformer & other related Electrical BOS will be selected as per system ckt Voltage & current
details (This will be covered in the detailed engineering part of the DPR). Make & general specification
and/or ratings has been covered in annex-II (BOQ)

DC to ACRatio is considered to be 1.25. Normally the ratio can go upto 1.3 without any significant
Overloading loss and harm to the equipments. We recommend to size PV system at 1.20 OR 120%
overloading minimum. At this DC Loading, we have observed in the field the maximum generation &
plant optimization in terms of electrical occurs.

C) Solar Energy Generation Assessment:

Table-8 is representing the total PV system energy generation for the first year after the various losses
which have been accounted for during the system performance simulation & analysis and the values
of Performance Ratio (% PR), Plant Load Factor (% PLF), Capacity UtilizationFactor (% CUF), Energy
yield at P50, P75 & P90 for the 1st year. Again, it is to be noted that the simulation, analysis &
generation assessment all have been performed in PVSyst v.6.39. The losses & other parameters are
considered as per the observation recorded values throughout the year.

D) Uncertainty of Generation:
To assess the uncertainty/disturbance in generation modeling is very complex and not so easy due
to involvement of so many factors climatic, environmental & electro-mechanical factors.
Considering this factors, the best way to assess the uncertainty in generation is to identify the
major factors and their effect on it. The following discussion represents a simple & best approach
to assess this uncertainty & its effect on the generation assessment.

amrit.mandal0191@gmail.com
 Uncertainty in Resource and Modeling
Table-8 represents the Solar Energy Generation for the 1 st year of the plant and for this
assessment OSSC has used the Solar GHI data from Meteonorm 7.1. The estimated error in this
meteorlogical data assessment tool is almost 7%.
A certain percentage of uncertainty also get introduced in simulation while using the PVsyst
software itself. Referring to the PVsyst validation report of data from seven grid-connected
systems in Europe indicates an error in the results of the simulation in the order of 2 to 3%. After
studying such similar cases and thorough observation of such, OSSC has come to a point to consider
a 3% uncertainty for the PVsyst itself.
Inter-Annual Variation in the Solar Resource
Global Horizontal irradiation data varies annually along with the yearly average temperature. This
means that the plant Developer hardly knows the exact amount of solar energy will be generated for
any given year, but can have a good idea of the expected generation in the long-term basis. The
annual variation can be quantified based upon analysis of variation in long-term irradiation data in
the vicinity of the site. This exercise gives the standard deviation of the variation in irradiation.

Tabular Representation & Analysis of Uncertainty

Considering the above discussed factors during the resource planning & assessment, the below
presented data will support to analyze & understand the expected generation for uncertainties @
P50, P75 & P90 throughout the guaranteed lifespan (25 years) of the plant.

 IV) Financial Analysis
As far as now, OSSC has covered the major technical areas including the technology, components,
plants energy generation throughout its lifespan and the Operations & Maintenance parts will have
been discussed later in this report. Based these technical consideration, the commercial analysis
will follow in this chapter of the report.

A) Project Site Development & Component Cost breakup

First, this chapter begins with the project component cost & initial investment due to site
development. A brief discussion on the various commercial aspects & factors involved in the project
have been presented in this section. Mainly, the factors can be categorized in 2 major segment;
Component wise & Site Development wise. Again these 2 major factors have a number of sub-
factors. See the below description.

Component Wise:

Solar PV Modules:For this project, OSSC is recommending for Poly-crystalline Technology based
3rdgeneration full cell type PV Modules must be 300Wp or higher in Watt Peak capacity (Preferred
310Wp). The current price per Watt peak of this type of PV Module is USD 0.424 (apprx.). There
will be variation in the presented price by 5% in coming FY considering the economic changes &
other international market policies & condition. Recommended Manufacturers have been indicated
in BOQ (Annex I)

Solar Inverter: Transformer-Less Central Inverter with higher temperature de-rating factor is used
to complete the technical design & assessment. The Availability, uptime and price varies
manufacturer to manufacturer & supplier to supplier. The market leaders in this product segment
acoording to their price & market reliabilities are SMA, Fronious, ABB, Schneider Electric, AEG
(TMEIC), Hitachi-Hirel, Solectria etc. OSSC is using ABB Central inverter for the simulation. The
current Avg. price of such inverters lies in the range of USD 0.0424 to 0.0484 per watt peak. Some
companies exclude cost of the minimum required spare parts of their product. It is expected that
this products price is continues to remain same as of now in the next FY. OSSC took the inverters
price as USD 0.0454 per watt peak for the financial analysis.

Module Mounting Structures: As this project is ground-mounted and tilting is fixed not tracking
mechanism has been considered which means a fixed tilt type Hot dipped GS type structures has
been considered. There are many reputed manufactures supply throughout the country & outside.
Price falls in the range of USD 0.068 to 0.787 per Watt peak. The main factors which drive the price
of this particular component in the project is the land type, its soil condition, nearby large water
body & the wind velocity of that particular area etc. as variation in these values result in different
GS density & stability & load bearing profile. The price is expected to remain same as there is hardly
any variation in the price of iron & mild steel and this particular industry is very stable. So OSSC
took the higher end of the products price range which is USD 0.0787 per watt peak.

Transformers: There are mainly 3 types of transformers are being used in this kind of project
Inverter Transformers (IT), Power Transformers & Auxiliary Transformers. There are a number of
reputed makes available in the market which can supply according to the particular requirement of
the project. ABB, Siemens, GE, CG, Voltamp are among the few. The price remains almost same
from company to company for the same specification. Price for all the THREE types of transformers
mention in this clause are considered to be USD 0.027 per Watt peak.

info@omsaisolar.com
amrit.mandal0191@gmail.com
 Cables & Wires: As indicated earlier in the Table 7 about all types of the cables which will be used
in this project, the price for the cables as a whole lie in the range of USD 0.027 to 0.033 per Wp.
USD 0.032 per Watt peak is considered in the calculation & analysis. The factors drive the price of
cables are quantity & quality. But again, the price varies not more than 5% for such project.

Transmission Line: The Pole structures, HT Cable laying up & related HT equipment & arrangement
cost around USD 35,000 per km. So, the cos directly depends on the distance between nearest sub-
station & power plant.

LT & HT Switchgears: ACDB, breaker panels, RMU etc will cost USD 0.038 per Watt peak for a
project like this. OSSC has taken USD 0.04 Per Watt peak for the financial modelling.

Civil Works: Civil works include developing control room, admin building, inverter rooms, roads &
pathways, trenches for cable laying up, boundary walls, gates, bore holes etc. It costs around USD
0.045 per Watt peak.

General Systems & Mandatory Spares: general systems include cleaning arrangement system, fire
extinguisher arrangement, Weather monitoring system & SCADA, CCTV, Water tank & misc.
expenses. On the other hand, Mandatory spares are the equipment or the part of equipment which
will be utilized during the sudden break down or failure of that particular equipment as to keep the
plant in running condition. A lumpsum of USD 0.02 per Watt peak is considered to assess the
investment for this particular segment of items.

Site Development: A number of parameters involves in this segment. Starting from Earnest Money
Deposit (EMD), Bank Guarantee (BG) & Performance BG, PPA Processing fees, WCT on civil works,
cess to loan interest rates, Insurances, O&M costs, contingency etc come into this segment.

*Transmission line cost directly depends on the distance between plant boundary wall & nearest sub-station where the generated power shall be fed.
Therefore, it is not correct to calculate the cost involved in developing the transmission line based on the MWp capacity of the power plant. Normally, per
km the cost of transmission line development is considered to be 35,000 USD.

Table-10 represents the initial investment required for setting up the solar power plant. The component & service wise cost break down provides a better
understanding towards the project type & developer can assess whether the firm can invest into this project on the very initial stage of decision-making
process.

A graphical representation of the cost breakdown has been attached below.

The above table represents the total energy output at the metering point per month. For the
1st year, there is no degradation considered. Though at the end of the 1 st year, a percentage
of 2% degradation in module is considered as LID (Light Induced Degradation) during the
pvsyst simulation.

Total 25 years of generation, O&M expenses & gross revenue presented in the below Table-
12. The considerations for the calculations are
I) PVsyst simulation result has been taken.
II) 1.5% of total project cost is subjected to O&M cost per year and the escalation on
the O&M expenses will be 6% per year starting from the 6th FY of the plant.
III) P75 generation of each year has been considered for the following calculations
and assessment.
IV) PPA tariff is 0.09 USD/kWh & there is no escalation for first 25 years.

different Application Classes:
1) Safety Class O - Restricted access
applications.
2) Safety Class II - General applications.
3) Safety Class III - Low voltage (LV) applications.
Module safety assessed based on:
1) Durability.
2) High dielectric strength.
3) Mechanical stability.
4) Insulation thickness and distances.
Required for modules being installed near
the coast or for maritime applications.
Describes the requirements for evaluating PV

The inverters are designed for fast and
easy installation. The industrial design
and modular platform provides a wide
range of options like remote monitoring,
fieldbus connection and modular and
flexible DC input cabinet. The integrated
DC cabinet saves space and costs as
the solar array junction boxes can be
connected directly to the inverter DC
cabinet fused busbars. The inverters are
customized to meet end user needs and
are available with short delivery times.
Effective connectivity to power
distribution network
ABBs transformerless central inverter
series enables system integrators
to design the PV power plant using
optimum combination of different power
rating inverters. Inverters are connected
to the medium voltage (MV) power
distribution network either centrally or
in a distributed manner depending on
the plant size and shape and network
connection position.
Advanced grid support features
ABB central inverter software includes
all the latest grid support and monitoring
features including active power limitation,
low voltage ride through (LVRT) with
current feed-in and reactive power
control. Active and reactive power output
can be limited by using an external
source. Active power can also be
limited automatically as a function of
grid frequency.
All grid support functions are
parameterized allowing easy adjusting
for local utility requirements. ABB
central inverters are also able to support
grid stability even at night by providing
reactive power with the DC input
disconnected.
