(hydrocarbon energy demand typically grows between 0-2% per annum).
The US market grew to 357 megawatts in 2008. Japan's market is now the
sixth largest market. Spain was the largest market in 2008. Solarbuzz
research confirms that the Asia Pacific, European and United States all are
projected to have strong growth over the next five years.
The earth receives more energy from the sun in just one hour than the
world uses in a whole year.
INDIAN SCENARIO
• India is one of the fastest growing economies globally and energy is
one of the basic requirements to maintain this rate of growth and to
serve its developmental objectives. To maintain this rate of growth (of
around 7-9% per annum), access to cheap, clean and reliable sources
of energy has become crucial.
• Power deficits continue to plague the Indian power sector and impede
the country’s economic progress. Today, the country experiences an
average energy (electricity) shortage of 9.6% and a peak shortage of
about 13.8%. To meet the growing demand and shortages, the
generation capacity needs to be doubled in 10 years. In addition, the
Government of India in 2007 mandated that electricity utilities
purchase power from renewable sources.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
• Rural India is home to more than 70% of India’s population and
energy is crucial for raising the standard of living in rural India and
encouraging employment generation. The Government of India has
kept a target of providing electricity for all by 2012 with a minimum
consumption of 1 kW per day per household.

1. Introduction
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
We will pool our scientific, technical and managerial talents, with sufficient
financial resources, to develop solar energy as a source of abundant energy
to power our economy and to transform the lives of our people. Our success
in this endeavour will change the face of India. It would also enable India to
help change the destinies of people around the world.
The National Action Plan on Climate Change also points out: India is a
tropical country, where sunshine is available for longer hours per day and in
great intensity. Solar energy, therefore, has great potential as future energy
source. It also has the advantage of permitting the decentralized
distribution of energy, thereby empowering People at the grassroots level.
Based on this vision a National Solar Mission is being launched under the
brand name Solar India.
At the end of each plan, and mid-term during the 12th and 13th Plans,
there will be an evaluation of progress, review of capacity and targets
for subsequent phases, based on emerging cost and technology trends,
both domestic and global. The aim would be to protect Government
from subsidy exposure in case expected cost reduction does not

materialize or is more rapid than expected.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
The first phase will announce the broad policy frame work to achieve the
objectives of the National Solar Mission by 2022.
The Mission will work closely with State Governments, Regulators, Power
utilities and Local Self Government bodies to ensure that the activities
and policy framework being laid out can be implemented effectively.

CONSIDERATIONS FOR SITE
SELECTION
Siting of a Solar Thermal Power project is primarily governed by following
considerations:
• Availability of land
• Location and accessibility
• Solar Insolation
• Proximity to the existing grid
• Requirement of Water
Land
Land is required primarily for Solar Panels, stores, workshop and administration
building. The land required for accommodating the 100 MW Solar power
plant is about 350 Ha. The land has been identified and an application for
allotment of land has already been filed before the relevant authority in
Rajashtan.

BASICS OF SOLAR POWER TECHNOLOGY
6.1 Basics of Solar Power
There are two ways of producing electricity from solar source i.e. thru Solar
Photo – Voltaic (PV) or Solar Thermal.

energy production. However, it is common to see flat-plate photovoltaic
panels mounted on mechanisms that track the sun about one tilted axis,
thereby increasing the daily output of the panels.

6.3.2 Solar Tower with Central Receiver:
Solar power towers generate electric power from sunlight by focusing
concentrated solar radiation on a tower-mounted heat exchanger (receiver).
Solar tower power plants are point-focusing Solar Thermal Electric (STE)
power plants. In power tower systems, heliostats (A Heliostat is a device
that tracks the movement of the sun which is used to orient a mirror of field
of mirrors, throughout the day, to reflect sunlight onto a target-receiver)
reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a central tower-mounted receiver
where the energy is transferred through HTF i.e. through hot air, or thru

molten nitrate salt or can be used to direct generate steam. Heliostat field,
the heliostat controls, the receiver, the storage system, and the steam
turbine, which drives the generator, are the major components of the
system.

110024
6.4 Integration with Power Cycles
Because of their thermal nature, all the solar thermal technologies can be
hybridized, or operated with fossil fuel. Hybridization has the potential to
increase the output of CSP plant by increasing its availability and
dispatchability, decreasing its cost (by making more effective use of power
generation equipment), and reducing technological risk by allowing
conventional fuel use when needed. This type of plants are called as
Integrated Steam Combined Cycle System (ISCCS).
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
6.5 Thermal Storage
In case of Solar Thermal power plant there is potential for producing
electricity, even after sun sets through use of thermal storage of 6-8 hours.
Probably this is one of solar thermal’s biggest strength just as hydel and
can be used for meeting the peak load requirement. Here two tank storage
system is employed with two nos. of molten nitrate salt (60% NaNO3 +
40% KNo3) which stores sensible heat storage during day time by
installation of additional solar collector fields depending the storage hours of
operation. After sunset the stored sensible heat from the hot molten tank
passes to the cold tank after releasing its heat in the heat exchanger.
b. After a long time gap and with rise in oil/other fossil fuel prices, the
industry has again kick-started; the start was with a 64 MW plant built at
Nevada in US using parabolic trough technologies similar to SEGS plant and
operating since June 2007. Besides another 11 MW plant (PS 10) using
solar tower technology is put on operational in Spain in April 2007. This
makes for a total of 429 MW CSP plant operation at the moment on
commercial basis.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
parabolic trough technology and another 20 MW plant (PS 20) using solar
tower technology will come into operation by the end of this year. Besides
other major CSP installations under construction are:-
i. Algeria 130 MW ISCCS with 30 MW CSP.
ii.Morocco 450 MW ISCCS with 30 MW CSP.
iii. Egypt 130 MW ISCCS with 20 MW CSP.
• Solar thermal power plants are optimal with Megawatt class power
generation while Solar PV based plants are generally better suited for
distributed power generation application.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -

• In case of Solar Thermal power plant there is potential for producing
electricity, even after sun sets through use of thermal storage of 6-8 hours.
Probably this is one of solar thermal’s biggest strength just as hydel and
can be used for meeting the peak load requirement.
• Solar PV based plant uses silicon which is presently expensive and needs
lots of innovation & volume to reduce its capital cost to compete with
conventional fossil plant. On the contrary the solar thermal option uses
commonly used glass and steel which have no constraints in today’s
production and more over the power block having boiler and steam turbine
are similar to conventional coal fired power plant. So potential for effecting
capital cost reduction with increase in volume is very high for Solar thermal
plants. Presently the capex of CSP is high because of limited players and
limited users.
In view of strengths of technologies as discussed, size of the plant, location
of proposed power station, potential of cost reduction with volume of
deployment, proveness of technology else where in similar conditions, it is
recommended to go for CSP-Parabolic Trough Technology.

(HTF) is heated as it circulates through the receiver and returns to a series
of heat exchangers in the power block where the fluid is used to generate
high-pressure superheated steam. The superheated steam is then fed to a
conventional reheat steam turbine/generator to produce electricity. The
spent steam from the turbine is condensed in a standard condenser and
returned to the heat exchangers via condensate and feed water pumps to
be transformed back into steam. Condenser cooling is provided by
mechanical draft wet cooling towers. After passing through the HTF side of
the solar heat exchangers, the cooled HTF is recirculated through the solar
field.

Historically, parabolic trough plants have been designed to use solar energy
as the primary energy source to produce electricity. The plants can operate
at full rated power using solar energy alone given sufficient solar input.
During summer months, the plants typically operate for 10 to 12 hours a
day at full-rated electric output. However, to date, all plants have been
hybrid solar/fossil plants; this means they have a backup fossil-fired

capability that can be used to supplement the solar output during periods of
low solar radiation. In the system shown in Figure, the optional natural-gas-
fired HTF heater situated in parallel with the solar field, or the optional gas
steam boiler/re heater located in parallel with the solar heat exchangers,
provide this capability. The fossil backup can be used to produce rated
electric output during overcast or nighttime periods. Figure also shows that
thermal storage is a potential option that can be added to provide dispatch
ability. This is how large fields of parabolic trough collectors supply the
thermal energy used to produce steam for a Rankine steam
turbine/generator cycle and produce the electricity.

A parabolic trough is a large, curved mirror that sits on a motorized base,
allowing it to follow the movement of the sun throughout the day. The
mirror's unique parabolic shape is designed to gather a great deal of
sunlight and then reflect that light onto a single point, concentrating the
solar power.
A receiver tube sits at the point where the mirror concentrates all the
sunlight. The tube is filled with a synthetic heat transfer oil, heated by the
mirror's light to around 750 F (400 C). This superheated oil is then pumped
from the solar field to a nearby power block, where the oil's heat is
converted to high-pressure steam in a series of heat exchangers. This
steam pushes a conventional steam turbine, creating electricity.
The main components of parabolic trough technology are:

7.4 OPERATIONAL AND MAINTENANCE
REQUIREMENTS
Overview
This section of the report outlines the operation and maintenance
philosophy to be adopted for the proposed grid connected SOLAR THERMAL
power plant. These broad outlines, given here, will provide useful guidelines
for the basic and detailed engineering of the plant, so that all the
requirements of the operation and maintenance of the plant are met and
provided for in the engineering stage itself.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
The main O&M objective is the high availability and reliability of the plant.
In order to achieve the main objective, the following principles would be
adopted.
The basic and detailed engineering of the plant will aim at achieving high
standards of operational performance especially with respect to the
following parameters:
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
• High DC system voltage and low current handling requirements.
Operation Requirements
The operation of the plant starts with the commissioning. In broad terms
commissioning can be defined as setting up of the plant to work safely and
on program. It is necessary to ensure that all equipment is completely
erected before operations begin. Although this may be considered difficult,
the other extreme of operating a plant with insufficient instrumentation,
controls, and alarms is very dangerous. Although some compromise can be
made with regard to plant completion, the commissioning procedures
should never compromise personnel and the system safety.
A proper checklist procedure must be drawn up, which would include all the
sections of the plant and shall take into account the contractual
responsibilities, the technological relationship between the various sections,
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
pre- commissioning, cleaning requirements, etc. The checklists procedure
helps in the following:
• To ensure that the necessary checks are carried out on each item of
the plant before it is put into commercial service.
While safety of the plant and personnel is the foremost importance in the
operation, the efficient operation of the plant cannot be ignored. While

operating, it is important to check the essential parameters of the plant and
equipment to ensure that the plant performance is at the optimum level.
Any variations in the operating parameters or any deviations from the
normal performance of the equipment or plant shall have to be analyzed
immediately to diagnose the problem and to take remedial measures to
bring back the plant and equipment to its original parameters.
• The power plant has to operate in parallel with the grid system which
is a vast power carrier. The power plant has to protect its equipment
against possible faults or other disturbances from the grid.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
• Directional and Reverse power protection will be provided to isolate
the power plant from the grid at the time of any fault.
Maintenance Requirements
The main objectives of the plant maintenance are to keep the plant running
reliably and efficiently as long as possible. Reliability is impaired when a
plant undergoes forced and unforeseen outages. This aspect assumes
greater significance for a SOLAR THERMAL power plant exporting power to
the DISCOM (Jodhpur) grid under the contractual commitments. It is
imperative that any planned maintenance is undertaken with closer
coordination with Bhadla substation.
Efficient operation implies close control not only over the cost of production
but also over the cost of maintenance. There are two components in
maintenance cost: one is the direct cost of maintenance, (i.e. the material
and labour), and other is the cost of production loss.
Regd. Office: P-61, Double Storey Building, Lajpat Nagar – 4, New Delhi -
110024
The following help in reducing the breakdown maintenance and also help in
planning for preventive maintenance:
It is extremely important that proper records are maintained not merely for
the maintenance work done but also of the material used and actual man
hours spent , etc. Some sort of a card system shall have to be introduced to
keep records that are most useful in future planning of outages and
providing for effective control.
Preventive Maintenance:
