It was the first attempt in the industry to collate information and do a comparative analysis of solar PV plant performance in the state of Gujarat. We received some very positive feedback from the industry for the whitepaper, especially from some lead- ing bankers, project developers, EPCs and component vendors. The whitepaper is now used as a reference document by many and has been quoted in a few industry conference presentations and has been covered in the international media. While the feedback was encouraging, we also received good suggestions for making the whitepaper better. One of the suggestions was to change the ranking from Calender year to Financial year. Based on this, we have updated the whitepaper for the period Financial year 2012-13(April 12 to March 13). The other feedback we received was that the ranking does not really help in benchmarking the plants unless more details like the module technology, inverter types and several other input parameters are available. In order to meet that objective, we gathered the details of the components used in the plants (including track- ing systems) and EPCs of the projects. In this whitepaper, a total of 50 plants totalling 665.64 MW have been ranked based on their annual yield(MWh/MW). All these plants have been operational for at least 1 year. Of these 50 plants, 15 plants are located in Charanka Solar Park and 35 plants outside Charanka. There is an overall ranking of the 50 plants and a separate ranking each, for plants in Charanka and outside Charanka. The module, inverters, tilt mechanism and EPC details are also available for several plants. But we would like to point out that knowing the module, inverter and EPC details is still not enough to benchmark the plants, because there are other variables that influence the performance of the plant. Some of them include the degree of design optimisation, quality of Balance of system components, build quality, and Operation and Maintenance. The more a developer is willing to spend, the better the quality of components will be. In short, what you get is what you pay for. With that in mind, we request you to go through the analysis carefully before drawing any inferences. The information about components and EPCs has been collated based on interviews with several industry stakeholders and publically available sources. We have taken utmost care to verify the authenticity of in- formation, but it is likely that some of the information need to be corrected. In case you come across such information, please let us know and we will be more than happy to correct them. We would once again like to acknowledge the work done by Mr. Jigneshbhai Shah and M/s Movya Consul- tancy Pvt. Ltd, Ahmedabad, India which has been used in this report.

In India, cumulative PV module manufacturing capacity is though more than 10 GW but except Adani, Warree and Article By CEO Vikram none of the factories are more than 1 GW capacity.

In PV module News Update. markets, there is always going to be extreme price pressure and at the same time Price Upate higher quality and performance guarantees will be required. TEchnology Update In such situations, winners will be those, whose factories will be designed for higher Product Update. yield (less rejection) and lower variability. Higher yield will ensure lower cost of production and lower variability will enhance the reliability leading to reduction of degradation rate per year enabling the manufacturer to give longer lifetime guarantees. In module manufacturing encapsulation (lamination) is one of the two key processes, stringing of cells and lamination. In lamination process the encapsulant EVA is cross linked at high temperature under vacuum. The extent of cross linking decides the quality and long-term reliability of the modules. Generally, this is ensured by measuring by a destructive process offline on sample basis by measuring gel content and it is time consuming process.

  • Dossier on the Adani Group's Environmental and Social Record
    Dossier on the Adani Group’s environmental and social record Construction of Adani’s Godda power station proceeds on lands acquired from indigenous (Adivasi) farmers near Godda. Two Adivasi look on. Photo by Geoff Law, February 2020 Preliminary Edition, September 2020 Preamble AdaniWatch is a non-profit project established by the Bob Brown Foundation to shine a light on the Adani Group’s misdeeds across the planet. In Australia, Adani is best known as the company behind the proposed Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. However, the Adani Group is a conglomeration of companies engaged in a vast array of businesses, including coal-fired power stations, ports, palm oil, airports, defence industries, solar power, real estate and gas. The group’s founder and chairman, Gautam Adani, has been described as India’s second-richest man and is a close associate of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Adani Group is active in several countries but particularly in India, where accusations of corruption and environmental destruction have dogged its rise to power. In central India, Adani intends to strip mine ancestral lands belonging to the indigenous Gond people. Large tracts of biodiverse forest, including elephant habitat, are in the firing line. Around the coastline of India, Adani’s plans to massively expand its ports are generating outcry from fishing villages and conservationists. In the country’s east, Adani is building a thermal power station designed to burn coal from Queensland and sell expensive power to neighbouring Bangladesh. Investigations, court actions and allegations of impropriety have accompanied Adani’s progress in many of these business schemes.

  • The 2500 MW Mundra-Haryana Adani HVDC Project
    Issue 10/10 http://www.siemens.com/FACTS HVDC/FACTS - Highlights http://www.siemens.com/HVDC The 2,500 MW Mundra-Haryana Adani HVDC Project Reliability and availability for India’s Grid Siemens Energy is to install a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission system with a capacity of 2,500 megawatts (MW) for the private investor Adani Power Limited (APL) in India. Since India's economy grows continuously, the demand for energy has increased at an average of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years and it became the world's 6th largest energy consumer. Due to the power situation, Adani Power Ltd. has ambitious plans to generate around 10,000 MW of power by 2013. Its thermal power plants near Mundra will produce up to 4,620 MW. The private investor Adani Power Ltd. is also India’s major importer of coal and operates the world’s largest harbor terminal for imported coal. At the same time the Ahmedabad- based company is India’s largest private energy trader. With modern technology and minimum loss of energy, the Green initiative of APL is supported by the new HVDC link from Siemens. Fig. 1: Siemens HVDC projects in India Power Transmission by Siemens HVDC In need of electrical energy, the region Haryana near New Delhi will be supplied in the future by Adani’s thermal power plants in Mundra, which is located approximately one thousand kilometers away. Low-loss transmission over that distance is only possible with the planned HVDC system at a DC voltage level of 500 kV.
