1. INTRODUCTION
Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), the first integrated steel plant in the Public Sector in
India, was set up initially with an installed capacity of 1 million tones. Subsequently,
the capacity was enhanced to 1.9 million tones. Currently the capacity of the plant is
being upgraded to 4.5MTPA of Crude Steel
RSP, at present, has average power demand of around 180 MW and peak demand of
250 MW. It is met from its two captive thermal power plants CPP-I and CPP- II and
import of grid power from Tarkera at 132 kV substation of OPTCL. After expansion,
the expected power demand of RSP is likely to increase to 315MW.
As owner of captive generation , RSP has to fulfill its renewable power obligation

Proper monitoring in the synchronizations which ensures the availability of
power to the grid.
The injection of DC power in to Grid is minimum
Ripple content must not exceed 3% on DC side
Limits for harmonics distortion is not more than 3%
The power plant has to operate in parallel with the grid system which is infinite
electrical system. Thus the Solar Power Plant design should be equipped with
requisite protective measures/ relays / breakers so as to protect equipment in solar
power plant against any of possible fault or other disturbances from the grid. Very
fast microprocessor based Directional and Reverse power flow protection
should be provided to insure isolation of the solar power plant from the grid at the time
of any fault or/and any additional suitable protection
The basic and detailed engineering of the plant will aim at achieving high standards of
operational performance especially considering following:
Optimum availability of modules during the day time
Ensuring module layout to prevent shading
Selection of PCUs/Invertors with high track record and with readily availability
of requisite spares
SPV power plant should be designed to operate satisfactorily in parallel with the STU
Grid within permissible limits of high voltage and frequency fluctuation conditions,
so as to export the maximum possible units to the grid.
