Dear Reader,
Our August Edition will be distributed at the 9th Renewable Energy Expo
and Conference at Greater Noida in
September. Please drop by our Booth
at the expo for a Complimentary copy
and a tte--tte
The month of July and August saw
some interesting activity in the Renewable Energy Sector.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has released a draft
of the National Renewable Energy
Act. The Policy aims to increase the
share of Renewables in the Countrys
Energy mix. While the Act looks at
drawing a National Renewable Energy Fund as a xed portion from the
National Clean Energy Fund, it also
lays out a regulated structure to enforce RPO.
Another positive development was
Gujarat states announcement of a
new solar policy. i.e. Gujarat Solar
Power Policy 2015. One of the major highlights is the policys incentives
industry, as they determine benchmarks and quality and eventually dene the future of Indian solar projects.

Overview of Energy Sector in India
Dr. Ahindra Chakrabarti writes that
the demand for Electricity in the
Country has been growing at a rapid
rate and is expected to grow further
in the years to come. The Indian Power Sector is one of the most diversied in the world, compared to many
developing countries where crude oil
and natural gas and renewables play
a major role.

MR. SHANKAR KARNIK: In terms of India as one
of the economies, India is net importer of
energy. A signicant portion of energy requirements of the country is met by oil and
gas, which again is obtained and explored,
India is in decit vis-a-vis demand. If you

is Indias primary fuel. However, water scarcity in India, which is a pertinent problem,
could still hamper the countrys solar plans.
This, keeping in mind that the locations
identied for large scale solar PV parks are
in water-scarce regions, here we must note
that 79 per cent of new energy capacity in
India is expected to be built in areas that
already face water scarcity or water stress,
according to a recent report from the World
Resource Institute. The issue only intensies with solar panels in arid and desert regions as dust accumulates easily, drastically
decreasing efciency.Solar panels require
constant cleaning to maintain efciency.
CEEW estimates the water requirements
for operation and maintenance in India to
lie between 7000 and 20000 litres per MW
per wash, where panels are usually cleaned
on a weekly basis (though this amount will
vary with the scale and location of plants).
By not factoring in water constraints, the
amount of electricity generated by Indias
solar plants will be much lower.
While the other issues of solar infrastructure may need to be addressed, the

EPC, O&M must appreciate that manufacturing quality be taken more sincerely and
proactively or they are bound to face untoward risks of failure all along the way. Except for some seasoned veterans,many fail
to comprehensively evaluate the quality of

The modules sold will be under operation in various environmental and climatic
conditions exposed to different Humidity,
Different Temperatures, UV Radiations,
Wind Speed, Snow Loads, Chemical Exposure, Salinity, etc. To evaluate the modules under all environmental conditions
an extended reliability program will ensure that they can withstand the harsh
environment conditions prevailing and
one can program the degradation of the
modules and subsequently calculate the
performance generation vis--vis with the
degradation of the module year on year.
Recommended best practices to be followed by manufacturers can be listed as
follows:
1. Stringent IQC,IPQC ,FQC quality control with process CTQ monitoring
2. Rigorous RM evaluation process for
each raw material
3. 100% EL inspection of modules
4. Regular out-of-box testing
5. Established process FMEA in place
6. Adherence to statistical process
controls
At this critical point in Indias solar mission, it is necessary for the government to
instil and build investor condence. The
rst step that will help in achieving this is
to lay out a Quality Assurance Program by
dening ofcial quality parameters and
issue the list of approved vendors under
A,B,C category (by National Institute of
Solar Energy -NISE). NISE should also issue certicates to the approved vendors
for quality products in line with C-WET
for wind manufacturers.
Implementing a Quality Assurance Program will efciently diminish the technology risk associated with solar investment, further enabling the shift towards
solarand support its quest to become a
mainstream and bankable energy source.
Establishing such programs has a twopronged effect, as it enhances the reliability of successive generations of the technology while also providing usable data
to aid substantiate nancial investments
in current project development. As the
industry expands rapidly, and technology
evolves, it will be important to continue
to develop and deploy structured Quality Assurance Programs and to relay the
data collected into the next generation of
manufacturing

Solar photovoltaic
(PV) water pumping
has been recognized
as suitable for gridisolated rural locations
in poor countries where
there are high levels of
solar radiation. Solar
photovoltaic water
pumping systems can
provide drinking water
without the need for
any kind of fuel or the
extensive maintenance
as required by diesel
pumps
where there are high levels of solar radiation. Solar photovoltaic water pumping
systems can provide drinking water without the need for any kind of fuel or the extensive maintenance as required by diesel
pumps. They allow people to devote more
time to productive activities and thus improve life style, health and economic conditions. Additionally, they create new jobs
in remote rural areas of the country. The
drudgery of women and children who are
otherwise engaged in bringing water from
far of distances can be reduced signicantly. Although the cost of solar photovoltaic
water pumping systems is initially high,
they demand virtually no maintenance,
require no fuel and thus save on foreign
exchange. They are easy to install and operate, highly reliable, durable and modular,
which enables its future expansion.
Operation of Solar Water Pumping
System
A solar photovoltaic array directly generates electricity from the suns light with no
moving or wearing parts. Here solar radiations are converted in to direct current (DC
electricity) and this generated electricity is
used to pump water through groundwater
source. The size of the pump is designed
based on the total requirement of water
for irrigation of crop and total head. The
size of the solar array is designed considering availability of yearly solar radiations on
location, and power required to operate
water pump.
Components Involved in the
System
1. Solar PV array: The Solar PV array is a
set of photovoltaic modules connected
in series and
possibly strings of
modules connected in parallel.
2. Controller: The Controller is an electronic device which matches the PV
power to the motor and regulates the
operation of the pump according to
the input from the solar PV array.
3. Pump Set: Pump sets generally comprise of the motor, which drives the operation and the
actual pump which
moves the water under pressure.
Advantages
1. Reliable and long life.
2. Produces water when its needed most.
3. Low labor and maintenance cost.
4. 4. No fuel costs.

he United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established the Green Climate
Fund in 2010 as a means to facilitate developing countries to curtail their carbon
emissions. The fund takes assistance from
developed nations and allocates them to
developing countries to make up for the
costs of switching to renewable energy
sources and adapting to the effects of climate change.
The initiative is to aid restructuring of disparity that numerous developing nations
feel is unjust. The enormous majority of
greenhouse gases at present in the atmosphere were put there by developed countries, whose economies are now steady
sufcient to begin cutting their emissions
and switching to renewable energy sources. The GCF is based in the new Songdo

iomass is a readily available renewable resource of energy having potential to replace conventional fuels
in many applications mainly as bio-fuels.
Biomass comprises of mainly three elementary components such as Carbon, Oxygen
and Hydrogen. The composition of each
biomass type varies depending on origin,
species, plant type, climatic conditions etc.
Heterogeneity is an inherent characteristic
of biomass materials. The constituents of
biomass fuel vary from region to region.
Constituents of biomass also depend upon
sources from which biomass is collected
and method of preparation of bio-fuels.
The viability and feasibility of bio-energy
generation from agricultural biomass depends upon the characteristics of biomass
available. Biomass could be employed for
energy conversion by means of different
processes, such as chemical, biochemical,
thermal-chemical etc. The process choice
specically depends on the biomass characteristics; therefore biomass characterization is essential to study various biomass
related properties, fuel value, ash handling, combustion, information for design,
development and operation of biomass
conversion system.
Perspectives of biomass
characterization
During the past few decades the changing scenario of energy crisis, researchers
has shown remarkable interest in advancement of bio-fuel production. Bio-energy
generation from biomass depends upon
the characteristics of biomass available to
accesses fuel value, ash handling, combustion characteristics etc. The determination
of the different characteristics of biomass
requires analytical methods. The proximate

bio-fuel are the critical challenges for bioenergy production to be resolved carefully through biomass characterization. In
spite of all these problems, the focus is on
identifying and maintaining sustainable
approach for biomass characterization to
optimize the bio-energy technologies for
bio-fuels production. The major challenges
involves in biomass characterization for
bio-energy production are as follows:
Nature of biomass feedstocks
Multiphase conversion processes
Type of bio-fuel
Technological advancement
Experiment validation
Process optimization
By-products utilization
There are several important issues that
could be solved out by biomass characterization concerning the bio-energy utilization viz. biomass collection, handling, storage, technology of conversion, economy
of fuel substitution which is expected to
vary throughout India. Through this approach a database also can be developed
on biomass characterization which can be
helpful to researchers, industries and rural
population of India to use the biomass for

Transmission Sector: Development of
transmission sector did not get due importance earlier which has led to some imbalances. Investments in the transmission sector have been therefore been inadequate
due to the heavy emphasis on generation
capacity. In most states, the existing distribution network has been formed by expanding and interconnecting smaller and
disjointed networks. Consequently, there

better efciency, affordability and quality
of the products. As a result many solar energy systems and devices are commercially
available with affordable cost in the market. Keeping this in view Jawaharlal Nehru
National Solar Mission was launched on
11th January, 2010.
The Mission target included (i) deployment of 20,000 MW of grid connected
solar power by 2022, (ii) 2,000 MW of
off-grid solar applications including 20
million solar lights by 2022, (iii) 20 million
sq. m. solar thermal collector area, (iv) to
create favourable conditions for developing solar manufacturing capability in the
country; and (v) support R&D and capacity
building activities to achieve grid parity by
2022. The Mission was to be implemented
in three phases. For the rst phase of the
Mission, the target was to achive Grid Solar Power 1100 MW and achievement was
1644.86 MW till March 2013. In addition,
a target for Off Grid Solar applications
of 200 MW capacity equivalent where
achievement were 252.5 MW and 7 million square meter Solar Thermal Collector
area; the achievements were 7.01 million

Conclusion
Ever since Thomas Edison red up his
power station in Lower Manhattan, the
world has become progressively more
electried. In the developed part of the
world it is taken for granted and yet the
world cannot operate without it. For developing countries, shortages of electricity take their toll on peoples lives and on
economic growth. India one of the worlds
biggest green house gas emitter after US
and China, when emphasizes on solar and
wind power is also expected to strengthen
the countrys standing at global climate
change negotiations. Meeting future
electricity needs means challenging and
sometimes wrenching decisions about the
choice of fuel required to keep the lights
on and power owing

on to a re ecting surface,
which concentrates at a focal point on which the black
painted cooking pot is placed.
The tracking position towards sun is monitored with
the help of a tracking indicator attached to the cooker,
tracking every 10-15 minutes
for higher efciency.
High
temperature
is
achieved in this cooker and
generates about 700 watts
net
power
in good sunshine.
Very
high temperature
above
300C can be
attained in this
cooker.
Ten litres of water in a sunny
day (atmospheric temperature 24C) takes about 40-45
minutes to reach the boiling
temperature of 100C.
Almost all types of cooking such as boiling of water/
potato/eggs, cooking of rice/
pulses/vegetables/meat, frying of omelettes /meat, roasting of meat, baking of bread/
cake, etc., can be done in
this cooker. Also the pressure
cooker can be
used for
increased efciency.
Minimum maintenance: It
does not require any recurring
cost except a nominal maintenance of repainting the frame
and stand and keeping the reector sheet clean.
The cooker can be used all
day long from sunrise to sunset. The cooking intensity is
high during daytime from
11.0 am to 1.0 pm because
of the high sunshine during
that time.
Due to its deeply curved
parabolic shape, the focal
point of the reectors lies
inside the dish and does not
have the risk of burning to
the user.
