PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
1. The average per capita consumption of energy in India is around 612 kW, which is much
lower than that of the developed countries like USA, Europe, Australia, Japan etc.
However, this figure is expected to rise sharply due to high economic growth and rapid
industrialization. Energy is a necessity and sustainable renewable energy is a vital link in
industrialization and development of India. A transition from conventional energy systems
to those based on renewable resources is necessary to meet the ever increasing demand
for energy and to address environmental concerns.
2. Thus, the present scenario needs for addition of major renewable energy sources of
energy for overall economic development of the country.
3. Solar Photovoltaic Power plant operates on the principle of the photoelectric phenomenon
- direct conversion of light to electricity. The solar radiation incident upon a silicon-based
semiconductor photovoltaic cell produces direct electric current.
7
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
4. Photovoltaic cells are integrated into modules with a voltage of 6 - 12 V; the electrically
interconnected modules form solar systems with an output voltage of 230 V.
5. Thus M/S Vijayasri Green Energy Private Limited (VGEPL) intends to participate in this
development process through the implementation of 1MW Solar PV based power plant.
PRESENT INSTALLED GENERATION CAPACITY OF INDIA
1. Rapid industrialization and increase in commercial and domestic use of electricity are the
main reasons for increase in power consumption in the country at large. In addition, the
government policies like rural electrification, electricity to all by 2012, development of
irrigation sector and minimum target of per capita consumption of 1000 units/year are
also contributing in increasing the future power demand. To meet the above
requirements, the additions in the power generation capacity would have to match with
the future power demands. The 17th Electric power survey report by CEA provides a
quantitative forecast of the future demands and planned/required capacity additions.
2. Since it is proposed to sell the electricity through a trading firm by utilizing open-access
system which is going to be the order of the day in the near future, it is considered
pertinent to study the supply demand gap of electricity at the national level instead of
merely at state level.
3. It is assessed by the Ministry of Power (MoP) that there is currently huge short-fall in
electricity generation while the energy demand has been consistently rising. The existing
installed generation capacity in India being of the order of 167 GW. It is estimated that
this is to be doubled over the next decade. The shortage of energy particularly at peak
demand periods has been the largest impediment to India's economic growth while the
gap between supply and demand continues to widen over the years.
4. Table II.1 below gives the actual power supply position of India. From the Energy Deficit
(%), we note the Ministry of Power's initiative to encourage capacity addition till end of
11th Five-Year-Plan to reduce the projected deficit in electricity generation. This is
indicative of the significant business potential in establishing thermal power stations.

6. It can be figured out from the above facts that India urgently needs to expand its installed
generation to nearly double the present installed capacity as forecast of a demand of
electricity is continuing to rise at an annual rate of 9-10%.
Opportunities for setting of Solar PV Power Plant in Andhra Pradesh
7. Andhra Pradesh seems to be an obvious choice for setting up power generating plants.
Andhra Pradesh state has invited EOI from the interested parties for setting up of solar PV
plants which is the only source to supply of shortage power under government Bidding or
3rd Party PPA through REC mechanism.
8. The state of Andhra Pradesh like many other eastern India states is witnessing huge
investment in Iron & steel and aluminium sectors. Thus, there is huge demand of power in
Andhra Pradesh. Further, as the state of Andhra Pradesh is strategically located adjoining
to rapidly industrializing states such as Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka&
Maharashtra, power generated in Andhra Pradesh has got ready market for utilization.
9. The per capita power consumption of Andhra Pradesh is much lower compared to national
average in spite of its wealth of huge coal resource. Table below gives the actual power
supply position of Andhra Pradesh.

6 Energy Availability (MU) 76,450 77,608
7 Energy Deficit (MU) -2,520 -10,727
8 Energy Deficit (%) -3.20% -12.10%
From the above table we readily see the huge expected energy deficit of 12.1% in
Andhra Pradesh in the period of 2011-2012.
CONCLUSION AND JUSTIFICATION
10. From the table II.1, II.2 &11.3, it is obvious that there is a deficit in the power and
energy availability in India. By the year 2014, Government of India has decided to
increase the power generation by 78,700 MW. Solar is identified as the main Source
for reliable power. The plants located in high solar radiation zones will have a greater
economic and logistical advantage in terms of cost of energy.
11. From the table 11.3, we can see that huge power deficit is expected in Andhra
Pradesh state in the period of 2011-2012. Whereas the expected peak power demand
is 13916 MW, the availability will be only 11,336 MW, a deficit of 18.50%. Also the
energy available in the same period will be 77,608 MU against the requirement of
88,335 MU, a deficit of 12.10%
12. Renewable Certificate Mechanism: Currently the REC certificates are shortage in the
market as the demand for sale of these REC certificates generated from Solar are
increasing. Currently the minimum price guaranteed is Rs 9.30/Unit and the traded
price is as Rs 12.50/Unit. This price is protected till March 31st ,2017 as per CERC
13. Considering all conditions stated above, the proposed 1 MW Solar PV Project can
operate at its maximum possible load factor. Thus, installation of the proposed project
is fully justified from peak demand as well as the energy point of view.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
The basic functional description of a Solar Photovoltaic power generator is as follows:
Solar panels installed on ground, convert sunlight to DC (Direct Current) electricity.
This power generated as DC from solar panels is sent to a device called Inverter.
The inverter converts the DC from solar panels to AC (Alternate Current), which can
be used for any domestic or industrial need requiring an AC current supply.
There are two general types of electrical designs for PV power systems.
Grid Interactive Systems that either
– use a part of the power generated and interact with the utility power grid for the
rest of the power generated; they do not have a battery backup or
– feed in 100% of the power generated to the utility power grid
Off Grid Systems that do not interact with the grid and either include battery backup or
not.
Our project uses the Grid Interactive Ground mount Systems with Poly crystalline photovoltaic
modules.

The technical features of the major equipment are as under:
PV MODULES
The primary component of a photovoltaic system is the solar cell. This is the element that
converts solar radiation into electricity. A photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel is a
packaged interconnected assembly of photovoltaic cells. Modules have characteristics that
describe their behavior during operation under standard testing conditions (STC), which
translate to AM 1.5 solar radiation of 1000 W / sq m at 25 °C.
The main characteristics taken into consideration when selecting a module for a photovoltaic
system are:
Open-Circuit Voltage (Voc): This is the difference of electrical potential between two
terminals of a device without any external load connected.
Optimum Operating Voltage (Vmp): This is the voltage across the terminals of the
module when it reaches maximum power at Standard Test Conditions (STC).
17
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
Short-Circuit Current (Isc): Short-circuit happens when there is very low resistance
between both terminals of the module.
Optimum Operating Current (Imp): This is the current generated when the system
reaches maximum power at STC.
Maximum Power at STC (Pmax): Maximum power generated at Standard Test
Conditions like 1000 W/m2, 25°C cell temperature, with a reference solar spectral
irradiance called Air Mass 1.5 (AM1.5), as defined in IEC 60904-3.TC.
Current Voltage Curve (IV Curve): The IV curve shows the relationship between
current and voltage across the terminals of the module. Figure -1 is an example of an

INVERTERS
Inverter or the Power Conditioning Unit converts the DC power to AC power to facilitate
feeding into the grid and acts as an interface between the PV array and the Grid. The AC
output should have very low current and voltage harmonic distortion and it must also
synchronize automatically to the exact AC voltage and frequency of the grid.
Since the DC output from the solar modules is dependent on the solar radiation, there is a
huge variation for the solar array output that the inverter has to accommodate and convert to
AC at high efficiencies. Most modern inverters have inbuilt maximum power point circuits that
allow them to tune the load conditions to maximize the power output based on the DC output
of the arrays. Typical conversion efficiencies for the inverters today are >96% for a range of
DC outputs.
In addition, the inverter also has to act as a protective device of the system. It needs to trip out
if the voltage, current or frequency goes outside acceptable ranges. There are two inverter
size options for the design - using a small number (or single) of large inverters (1 MW) or
using several smaller inverters of around 250 kW (4 X 250 kW). Using fewer number of high
rating (around 1 MW) inverters will be a less expensive option because of
inverter costs
use of shorter lengths of cables
less number of connection points
19
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
Using several smaller size inverters will increase the redundancy and reliability of the system.
For instance, if there is any unforeseen problem in the array or inverter, then there will not be
any hindrance in the supply of energy to the grid.
The inverters we choose, satisfy International Standards for solar PV applications and holds
the following Certifications as required by MNRE.
IEC62116
IEC62109-1
EN50178
We ensure that the inverter satisfies the following conditions:
Large input voltage DC window to provide flexibility in layout of PV system
DC as well AC side protection
Active and passive anti-islanding protection
High energy conversion efficiency (more than 96%)
Total Harmonic Distortion < 3 %
Facility of data logging system
Inbuilt maximum power point tracker for higher energy yield
Satisfactory Service and maintenance network.
Based on the above criteria, we recommend PVI-Central-500-TL or equivalent. Refer
Annexure II for a detailed specification of the proposed inverter.

YIELD AT SITE
We predict the energy yield considering various vital parameters and a desktop site
assessment. We use the PVSYST photovoltaic simulation software, which simulates the
energy yield using hourly time steps. PVSYST takes as input details of the,
site resource
solar PV modules specifications
inverters specifications
structure type specifications
The energy yield prediction involves,
1. Sourcing average monthly horizontal irradiation, wind speed and temperature data
from a variety of sources from land based meteorological stations like NASA.
These data have been assessed and judiciously selected for use in the energy
yield simulation software. Calculating the global incident radiation on the collector
plane, taking into account horizon shading.
2. Calculating the losses that occur during the process of converting irradiated solar
energy into AC electricity, using inverter specifications, PV module characteristics
and the site layout.
3. Applying downtime losses, module degradation and AC losses to obtain an energy
yield for a twenty-five year project life cycle.
4. Using statistical analysis of resource data to derive appropriate levels of
uncertainty in the energy yield prediction.
Using Poly Crystaline PV module, the expected energy production is estimated to be 1806
kWh / kWp per annum. Kyasampalli has one of the best insolation in the state of Andhra
Pradesh with a daily horizontal surface solar irradiation incidence between 5 and 6 kWh / sq.
m. Through utilizing cutting edge technology and components and minimal system losses, the
proposed power plant is expected to satisfy the energy requirement by 79.9 %. Refer the
Annexure III for details on the energy generation at the site.
LOSSES CONSIDERED FOR YIELD CALCULATION
PVSYST calculates the direct current (DC) electricity generated from the modules in hourly
time steps throughout the year. This direct current is converted to alternating current (AC) in
an inverter. A number of losses occur during the process of converting irradiated solar energy
29
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
into AC electricity. Some of these losses are calculated within the PVSYST software, whilst
others are assumed figures based on the performance of similar PV plants. The losses are
described in the following subsections. Let us discuss them in detail.
SHADING LOSSES
These are losses arising due shade in the vicinity of the project caused by neighborhood
buildings, trees or hills. Three types of shading losses have been considered in the PVSYST
model:
1. Horizon Shading
If the site (based on the satellite imagery) is quite flat with no hills in the vicinity, horizon
shading is expected to be insignificant.
2. Near shading from trees and buildings
If the site does not have any large/tall structures or buildings nearby nor large/tall trees on the
East, South or West sides of the site that may shade the modules as the sun moves through
the day or over the seasons.
3. Inter-row shading between rows
By simulating the celestial motion of the sun in hourly time steps throughout the year, PV
SYST calculates the annual loss due to inter-row shading. The distance between the rows is
determined by analyzing various parameters such as the height at which the panels are
mounted, the angle to the horizon, etc. and it is ensured that one row of panels do not
produce any shading on the subsequent row of panels.
We understand from the satellite imagery provided that the site is quite flat with no hills in the
vicinity. Horizon shading is therefore expected to be insignificant.
Near shading at the project site is caused by inter-row shading. By simulating the celestial
motion of the sun in hourly time steps throughout the year, PVSYST calculates the annual
loss due to inter-row shading.
INCIDENT ANGLE LOSSES
The incidence angle loss or “Incidence Angle Modifier” (IAM) accounts for losses in radiation
penetrating the front glass of the PV modules due to angles of incidence other than
perpendicular. For horizontally mounted PV modules the IAM losses may be expected to be
30
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
larger than the losses experienced with dual axis tracking systems, for example. The loss
derives from the ratio of direct and diffuse radiation, sun angles and the tilt of the modules.
LOW RADIANCE LOSS
The conversion efficiency of a PV module reduces at low light intensities. This causes a loss
in the output of a module compared with the standard conditions at which the modules are
tested (1000 W / m2). This “low irradiance loss” depends on the characteristics of the module
and the intensity of the incident radiation. The low irradiance loss is calculated within the
PVSYST simulations.
MODULE TEMPERATURE
The characteristics of a PV module are determined at standard temperature conditions of
25°C. For every °C temperature rise above 25°C there is reduction in performance of
modules. This temperature dependent performance differs for different PV technologies. The
performance of crystalline silicon module reduces by ~ 0.45% and that of CdTe module
reduces by ~ 0.25% (based on module temperature). In high ambient temperatures under
strong irradiance, module temperatures can rise substantially. Wind can provide some cooling
effect, which PVSYST models from simulated wind speed data.
MODULE QUALITY
Most PV modules do not match exactly the manufacturer’s nominal specifications. Modules
are sold with a nominal peak power and a given tolerance within which the actual power is
guaranteed to lie. In practice PV modules usually lie below the nominal power but within the
tolerance.
The specifications of the chosen modules for this project have a performance tolerance of
+10% / -5% respectively. The energy yield calculations have been carried out using a 1.5%
and 2.5% tolerances which is used in PVSYST simulations to generate the “module quality”
yield loss factor. The module quality loss quantifies the impact on energy yield due to
difference in the actual module characteristics from the specification.
MODULE MISMATCH
Losses due to “mismatch” are related to the fact that the real modules in an array do not all
strictly present the same current/voltage profiles: there is a statistical variation between them.
This gives rise to a power loss, which is quantified by the module mismatch yield loss factor. A
31
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
mismatch loss factor has been estimated, based on the performance of similar PV power
plants. It is taken as a constant during the simulation.
DC CABLE RESISTANCE
Electrical resistance in the wires between the power available at the modules and at the
terminals of the array gives rise to ohmic losses (I²R). This loss increases as temperatures
exceed 25°C. If cable is correctly sized this loss should be less than 2% annually. A general
wiring loss fraction of 1.2% at standard test conditions is assumed.
INVERTER PERFORMANCE
The inverters used at Solar PV plant convert from DC into AC with a maximum efficiency of
98.7%. However, depending on the inverter load, they will not always operate at maximum
efficiency. For this project values are taken from the inverter specifications. PV syst constructs
a profile considering the power threshold indicated by the Inverter manufacturer to arrive at
the annual inverter performance.
AC LOSSES
AC wiring, when correctly sized should lead to losses generally less than 1.5%. Larger losses
may arise in the transformers but should generally total less than 3%. Ohmic losses in the
cable leading to the substation will depend on the distance to the substation and the location
of the metering system.
DOWNTIME
Downtime depends on the diagnostic response time, stock of spare equipment and the repair
response time. A yield loss factor of 0.995 is suitable for quantifying this loss, based on typical
performance of similar PV plants.
SOILING
Losses due to dust and bird droppings soiling the module depend on the environmental
conditions, rainfall frequency and on the cleaning strategy as defined in the O&M contract.
This loss can be relatively large compared to other loss factors but is usually less than 4%.
Unless a particularly robust cleaning strategy is employed, the soiling loss for horizontally
mounted modules may be expected to be higher than modules that are inclined, as inclined
modules will benefit more from the cleaning effect of rainwater run-off. For this project, a
soiling loss factor of 3% is assumed.
32
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
DEGRADATION
The performance of a PV module can decrease over time. The degradation rate is typically
higher in the first year upon initial exposure to light and then stabilizes. The extent of
degradation and the process by which it occurs varies between module technologies. An initial
degradation loss of 1% for crystalline modules and 0.7% for CdTe has been applied.
The initial degradation occurs due to defects in the cell, which are activated on exposure to
light. The subsequent degradation occurs at the module level and may be caused by:
Effect of the environment on the surface of the module e.g. pollution
Lamination defects
Mechanical stress and dampness on the contacts
Cell contact breakdown
Wiring degradation
Factors affecting the degree of degradation include the quality of materials used in
manufacture, the manufacturing process, and also the O&M regime employed at the
site.

works, water supply, painting, roads within solar arrays etc.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE
While preventative maintenance reduces the probability of outages, any PV system
experiences outages and performance degradations, due to un-controlled factors such as
disturbances in the utility grid, equipment failure, soiling, etc. Effective monitoring enables fast
dispatch of service crews to minimize production losses and maximize solar savings. Unlike
other solar energy providers who rely on off-the-shelf monitoring solutions, SunEdison has
developed unique technology, infrastructure and processes for solar monitoring and service
response.
Figure -9 depicts Sun Edison’s service structure which is classified under the following four
segments:
Renewable Operations Center (ROC)
SunEdison Energy & Environmental Data System (SEEDS)
Production Assurance Service
Client Connect
38
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
Figure -9: SunEdison Service Architecture
Renewable Operations Center (ROC)
SunEdison Services was formed for the purpose of maximizing uptime and performance for
systems owned and operated by SunEdison. Highly capable and trained technicians are
dispatched by a centralized monitoring center called Renewables Operation Center (or ROC)
which monitors the plant performance on a real-time basis through SEEDS platform. The
service dispatch is prioritized based on severity of the problem as diagnosed remotely by the
ROC staff. Remote monitoring by ROC also minimizes the time to repair by pre-diagnosing
the problem even before a service personnel has reached the site. This combination of quick
response and faster repairs allows SunEdison to realize its goal of maximizing plant uptime
and performance.
Figure -10: Renewable Operations Center
Each PV system is equipped with revenue-grade meters that meet and exceed the accuracy
requirements of every solar program and public utility commission. We also install a revenue-
39
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
grade facility meter to measure net energy usage at the facility interconnection so we can
measure the overall energy usage of your facility and calculate your solar savings.
SunEdison Energy & Environmental Data System (SEEDS)
Our SEEDS gateway collects information from both generation and facility meters. It is also
connected to the PV inverter(s) and one or several weather station(s) measuring irradiance,
ambient temperature, PV module temperature and wind speed. The monitoring information is
sent every 15 minutes to the SunEdison’s ROC, where our staff monitors the performance of
every site in the SunEdison PV fleet 24 / 7. In case of an outage or unexpected performance
degradation, an auto alert is generated which is attended by the ROC staff almost
immediately. ROC staff will then diagnose and qualify the problem remotely and if on-site
maintenance is needed they will create a service ticket to quickly dispatch a service crew. The
root cause and failure areas are documented for every ticket which allows SunEdison to
minimize/eliminate repeat problems by preempting the corrective actions. With a nearby
regional office, SunEdison has an unmatched ability to address issues in an expeditious
manner.
Product Assurance Service
SunEdison Solar Production Assurance Services actively monitors your systems so they can
achieve optimal performance to increase energy savings and deliver a faster return on your
investment. SunEdison gives you the peace of mind that your systems are operating at peak
performance.
Services include site inspection, monitoring, and preventative maintenance that will enable
your system to ultimately produce more solar energy. After an initial site inspection by a
SunEdison certified technician, we provide you a detailed list of recommendations to optimize
your system performance. SunEdison will also install state-of-the-art monitoring components
to give you access to production data and 24/7 monitoring.

I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
Figure -11: Hourly PV System Output
A system’s performance can be increased by as much as 32% by cleaning dirty panels,
tightening loose connections, and addressing inverter issues.
Figure -11 depicts an example where the output was increased by 185,600 kWh annually.
Based on the PG&E A6 tariff rate of 16.5 cents per kWh, SunEdison Production Assurance
services would have saved this system $30,624 annually. Keeping your system running at
peak performance saves money and optimizes your return on investment. Poor maintenance
can void system warranties and expose you to liabilities.
Client Connect
Client Connect is an online portal that allows you to monitor your solar power system
performance in 15-minute intervals and provides you seamless access to production data and
environmental savings. With Client Connect, you can easily generate and export reports that
demonstrate system and environmental savings across all of your facilities. Refer section
WEB BASED MONITORING for details about Client Connect.
QUALITY INSPECTION AT SITE
When SunEdison completes a PV system, we conduct a walk-through with the host
customer’s Facilities Operations Manager (or equivalent). We discuss specific details such as
the start-up and shut-down of the system, the location of all PV equipment, and the safety
considerations associated with a PV system.
We will submit sufficient and self explanatory documentation1 which will include,
1. Detailed operations manual
41
I-MECH TECHNOLOGIES PVT LTD
2. Safety Manual
3. Safety Placards / Boards
We find it valuable to train the host customer maintenance personnel in the basic operation of
the system, so that they are able to undertake basic checks and inform SunEdison personnel
of any potential issues. For any advanced troubleshooting maintenance, SunEdison qualified
personnel will be sent on-site.
The SunEdison preventative maintenance program includes a yearly site quality inspection
that assesses over 150 components of the PV system in five functional areas, inverter
maintenance consistent with warranty requirements, regular panel cleanings using
biodegradable cleansers and non-abrasive brushes, plant removal for flat rooftop systems and
landscaping in the case of ground mounted systems. Table -3 lists some sample parameters
for inspecting the site quality.
