Radhanesda ► The project is being executed by Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL) in collaboration with the Union Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE). ► It is located in Radhanesda village, Vav Taluka, Banaskantha district , Gujarat ► Latitude: 24 o31’ 22” N ► Longitude: 71 o16’ 51” E ► Area: 1407 hectares ► NTPC proposed to set up Solar Projects in the Solar Park What is a Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Project? ► A Power system designed to supply usable solar power by means of photovoltaic modules that convert light directly to electricity. The maximum power that can be generated by this project (Nameplate capacity) is 700 Megawatts. Setting up a Solar Power Park ► Government of India has an ambitious target to set up 100,000 MW Solar Projects by 2022. As per guideline issued in June 2015. This 700+ MW Radhanesda Ultra Mega Solar Power Project is one of them. ► Coal-fired power plants account for 60.59% of the installed power capacity in Gujarat. While Gujarat has hydrocarbon reserves such as lignite, crude oil and natural gas, its major fuel source for generating power is coal. However, Gujarat has no coal reserves and has to depend on other states and imports to meet its requirements.

  • Kutch Basin Forms the North-Western Part of the Western Continental
    Basin Introduction :. Kutch basin forms the north-western part of the western continental margin of India and is situated at the southern edge of the Indus shelf at right angles to the southern Indus fossil rift (Zaigham and Mallick, 2000). It is bounded by the Nagar- Parkar fault in the North, Radhanpur-Barmer arch in the east and North Kathiawar fault towards the south. The basin extents between Latitude 22° 30' and 24° 30' N and Longitudes 68° and 72° E covering entire Kutch district and western part of Banaskantha (Santalpur Taluka) districts of Gujarat state. It is an east-west oriented pericratonic embayment opening and deepening towards the sea in the west towards the Arabian Sea. The total area of the basin is about 71,000 sq. km of which onland area is 43,000 sq.km and offshore area is 28,000 sq.km. upto 200 bathymetry. The basin is filled up with 1550 to 2500m of Mesozoic sediments and 550m of Tertiary sediments in onland region and upto 4500m of Tertiary sediments in offshore region (Well GKH-1). The sediment fill thickens from less than 500m in the north to over 4500m in the south and from 200m in the east to over 14,000m in the deep sea region towards western part of the basin indicating a palaeo-slope in the south-west. The western continental shelf of India, with average shelf break at about 200 m depth, is about 300 km wide off Mumbai coast and gradually narrows down to 160 km off Kutch in the north.

  • Automatic Sun Tracking System with Dual Axis
    AUTOMATIC SUN TRACKING SYSTEM WITH DUAL AXIS K Srinivasa Rao1, G.Sreedhara Babu2 and M.Rajesh3 1,2,3Department of Mechanical Engineering,V.R.Siddhartha Engineering College Abstract— The aim of this paper is to solve the problem of energy crisis which is considerably serious issue in today’s period. It is becoming essential to increase use of renewable sources of energy namely solar energy as compared to conventional sources for energy generation. Solar energy is rapidly gaining notoriety as an important means of expanding renewable energy resources. As such, it is vital that those in engineering fields understand the technologies associated with this area. Our project will include the design and construction of a microcontroller-based solar panel tracking system. It uses 8051 microcontroller and stepper motor to move solar panel according to position of sun. Photo resistors are also used to detect light intensity. Solar tracking allows more energy to be produced because the solar array is able to remain aligned to the sun. A technology namely solar tracking system is introduced to improve efficiency of solar cells by tracking sun’s energy. A working system will ultimately be demonstrated to validate the design. Problems and possible improvements will also be presented. A solar panel receives the most sunlight when it is perpendicular to the sun’s rays, but the sunlight direction changes regularly with changing seasons and weather. Currently, most solar panels are fixed, i.e., the solar array has a fixed orientation to the sky and does not turn to follow the sun. To increase the unit area illumination of sunlight on solar panels, we designed a solar tracking electricity generation system.

  • Techniques to Upgrade Indian Solar Power Sector by Analysing the Top Ranking Solar Power Countries
    IJRET: International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology eISSN: 2319-1163 | pISSN: 2321-7308 TECHNIQUES TO UPGRADE INDIAN SOLAR POWER SECTOR BY ANALYSING THE TOP RANKING SOLAR POWER COUNTRIES Shantanu Rawat1, Himanshi Rana2, Deepanvita Maurya3, Deepak Kumar4 1Department of Electrical, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, India 2Department of Aerospace, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, India 3Department of Mechanical, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, India 4Assistant Professor, Department of Electrical, University of Petroleum & Energy Studies, Dehradun, India Abstract As fossil fuels are depleting day by day it is the high time to switch to renewable energy. Many countries have already realized this fact and have started focusing on the renewable energies. The main focus of all countries is on solar power [1]. Though many countries have developed themselves in solar power generation since last one decades but India hasn’t started yet. The major solar power producing countries are China, Germany and Japan and if we try to compare India with these countries we stand far apart in the queue. Though India has one of the best climatic conditions to support solar power generation. India is a sun-blessed country which has clear 300 days of sunshine, which is comparatively much more than the other countries [2]. The total power generated by India is 267,637.35 MW (till March 2015) and out of which we are generating only 5,050 MW through solar energy [3]. To satisfy the demand of power supply all over the country in future, we need to install more number of solar power plants such as to provide us maximum output as a result in much more advanced technique [4].

  • Solar Powered Irrigation Systems in India: Lessons for Africa Through a FAO Study Tour Draft Report (2019)
    Solar Powered Irrigation Systems in India: Lessons for Africa Through a FAO Study Tour Draft Report (2019) International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) Preface India is blessed with solar insolation in abundance and is striving to become a true world leader in the use of solar energy. The concerted efforts of the Government of India and different State Governments have made significant progress through different initiatives and schemes. This report highlights important initiatives, their implementation and impacts especially in three States namely, Punjab, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, as a part of the study material for a visiting delegation consisting of Dr. Ayman Elsayed Ibrahim Shahin, Sector Head of Monitoring Systems & Communication, Information and Assets Egyptian Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation, Mr. Gabouj Ridha, General Director of Rural Engineering and Water Management, Ministry of Agriculture Water Resources and fisheries, Tunis, Tunisia, and Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim Al-Hamid, Senior Land and Water Officer, FAO Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa, Cairo, Egypt. Solar water pumping for irrigation is being promoted worldwide by the Governments to address the continued demand by farmers to extend the electricity transmission network to all agricultural fields to enable them to avoid the use of expensive diesel for running irrigation pumps. Solar pumping systems offer superior solution to address such issue besides addressing the issues of depleting groundwater and other energy needs at the farm. If only 50% of the 9 million running diesel water pumping systems are replaced by the solar PV pumps, the diesel consumption may be reduced to the tune of 225 billion liters a year besides significant reductions in CO2 emissions over 100 million tons.
