Replacing Diesel with Solar A Complete Guide to Installing Solar PV for Backup Power
Preface
With its economy growing at a fast clip, the Indian industry is in a time of unprecedented opportunities for growth. Along with this growth comes the need for higher energy consumption, as energy demand / consumption are highly correlated to economic growth. Until recently, Indias energy demand has been met to a large extent by non renewable resources, mainly coal and oil. Recently, natural gas has started playing an important role as well. But with the global concerns over climate change and the depleting nature of fossil fuels, not to mention the geopolitical risks attached with depending on foreign countries for these fuels, have made it imperative for the Indian industry to look at renewable sources of energy. It is well known that India has abundant sunlight that could support a robust solar-based production industry. As a result of the nature of fossil fuels, their costs have been on the increase. With the consequent increase in cost of both grid power and that of diesel used as a fuel for backup power, businesses are looking for alternative and more sustainable sources for power production. Solar photovoltaic (PV) based power production provides a powerful alternative. The Replacing Diesel with Solar Report has been developed for those companies and institutions keen on installing a solar PV based captive power production facility. The focus of the report is to facilitate a much deeper and more comprehensive understanding of the captive solar PV segment, specifically in the context of costs and technology aspects. The report was developed by Energy Alternatives India (EAI), leading business intelligence and market research firm from India focused on the renewable energy and cleantech industries. This report was last updated in the first week of May 2011.

CHAPTER-1
Captive Power in India

Compared to the hectic growth in electricity demand, India has seen only a modest pace of growth in the supply of electricity. Power shortages have had a significant impact on companies and industries, especially manufacturing industries. As a result, quite a few businesses have started generating their own power, using conventional sources (usually diesel for small backup power and relatively larger coal based power plants) and in later periods wind based captive power plants were also set up. For these companies, in recent times, solar is emerging to be an attractive option. This chapter gives an overview of conventional captive power plant status and explains the advantages of using solar for captive power generation.

CHAPTER-2
Technology Options
Selecting the best system design for a particular application is more important. Often a combination of techniques can dramatically reduce costs and improve the reliability of a system, or provide the design flexibility to cover a wide range of applications. This chapter explains three different types of solar PV systems. Designing and implementation of each of these categories is different, and would need to be treated accordingly, for effectively bringing the surplus capacity into the companys network.

Sample Topic Solar PhotovoltaicDiesel Generator Hybrid System

Beneficial in terms of improved reliability, energy services, operational life and energy efficiency, the hybrid system has brought forth the highest form of perfection in electricity generation. This system combines two energy sources; the sun and a diesel generator (genset), where the genset supplies excess load and recharge the battery during overcasts. The hybrid system is meant for backup power in case of a power shortage, say during the peak demands. It also reduces downtime during maintenance or repairs since the system on its own, ensures that all the components are used efficiently at an optimum rate. For example, during the day, the solar modules will generate energy in the form of Direct Current (DC) and is stored in the battery or straight away put to use by converting it into AC through the inverter. So, when night time falls and the solar modules do not generate energy, the DC stored in the battery is put into use. However, the DC stored in the battery is not necessarily enough to support the energy demand throughout the night since during day time, it may rain or the sunlight is blocked by thick clouds, reducing the energy production. This will maximize the discharge level of the battery, causing its operational life to decrease, in other words, exhausting the battery. In this case, here is where the genset comes in. The genset produces AC and can be used immediately and at the same time the current is rectified to produce DC to recharge the battery. The mechanism can also happen during peak loads or when a prolonged period of overcast occurs. In addition, due to this alternate operation, the overall system has prolonged life proven by the discharge level of the battery is being kept optimum. The hybrid system adopts an environmental- friendly technology whereby the diesel generator is used discontinuously and the whole operation itself is much quieter. All this is governed by a micro-processor-based controller unit. The first installation may take up a high cost, but the maintenance cost afterwards is very low, thanks to the systems self preservation mechanism. In addition, we can save fuel consumption of the genset because the solar photovoltaic (PV) modules supports the base electricity load while the genset provides additional energy should there be a sudden peak in the energy demand. www.eai.in
CHAPTER-3
Setting up Solar CPP in India

Once an entrepreneur has decided to set up a solar based captive power plant, there are seven steps involved in designing a successful captive solar PV installation. Whether the solar electric system is going to be small or large, and whether it is going to be off the shelf lighting kit or designing something from scratch, it is worth following these steps to ensure one gets the best from the system.

www.eai.in
Sample Topic Steps Involved in Setting a Captive PV Power Plant

Step 5 Sizing the system Note: The exact procedure for sizing of a solar system has to begin with calculating the amphere hour (Ah) of each load under consideration. Without knowing this it is impossible to size the PV system. The necessary systems involved in the setting up a captive power plant are 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Array(collection of solar PV modules) Charge controllers Batteries Inverters Mounting systems
PV Module sizing Array sizing is determined by taking into account the daily energy requirement (in Kilowatt hours) and average daily peak sunshine hours in the design month. No part of a PV array can be shaded. The shading of small portions of a PV module may greatly reduce output from the entire array. PV modules connected in series must carry the same current. If some of the PV cells are shaded, they cannot produce current and will become reverse biased. This means the shaded cells will dissipate power as heat, and over a period of time failure will occur. However, since it is impossible to prevent occasional shading, the use of bypass diodes around series - connected modules is recommended. Before proceeding to the next step, a simple test is recommended, after array sizing, to see if the application might be a candidate for a hybrid system.
