Executive Engineer\,\n\nAP Eastern Power Distribution Company of AP Limited (APEPDCL)\n\n& AP Power Coordination Committee (APPC C)\n\nVidyuth Soudha/ Vijayawada\, Andhra Pradesh\n\n***\n\nAbstract of th e above Lecture:\n\nSolar PV power has achieved grid parity. The prices ha ve drastically fallen down in the last ten (10) years. The 25 Years levell ised tariff realised in the latest bidding is only Rs2.70/Unit\, which is lower than the variable cost of so many thermal power plants in the Countr y. (presently around Rs 3.0 per Unit)\n\nConnecting Solar PV Power Plants (SPP) at distribution level i.e. 33 kV and below Voltage levels is very mu ch promising to encourage decentralised distribution & generation\, partic ularly to meet Domestic\, Institutional and Agriculture Consumption. Insta lling Solar PV at distribution level not only meets the local load require ment but avoids the inevitable Transmission Charges and Losses. The SPPs a t distribution level are\, generally\, less than 1 MW of Output Capacity. At distribution level\, these SPPs are located at various physical locatio ns and comprise the Distributed Power Generation (DPG) Network. These DPG- SPPs are not effected significantly by “Cloud Cover Phenomenon”. In th e DPG-SPPs\, the cloud cover effects only the local generation to the exte nt of only 10s of MW\, and it will not cause major disturbance in the Powe r Grid. So they are better choice for Power Grid Stability\n\nIn “Solar Parks”\, a Very Large Centralized SPP with installed power output of 1\, 000MW and above are presently installed in many parts of India. These are spread over thousands of acres of land. In these large Centralized SPPS\, when clouds cover a large area or pass through that large area\, solar ins olation incident on the Solar PV Panels is Reduced\, suddenly and consider ably. Under this cloudy condition\, a typical Centralized SPP of 1\,000 MW rating\, undergoes an output power variation up to 30% to 50% . This will cause sudden Ramp down of SPP output to as low as 500 MW and again Ramp U p to 1\,000 MW after cloud passed the large land area. These Large and Fas t Ramp Down and Ramp Up of Power will create large transient disturbances in the Power Grid. This will endanger the security of the Power Grid.\n\nT he Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE)\, Govt. of India\, along with State Govts and State Nodal agencies has been implementing several measur es for promoting installation of Solar PV Power Plants (SPP) at various lo cations\, Like on Roof Tops\, Ground Mounted and also at different class o f consumer premises\, and connecting them to Power Distribution network. T hey are implementing certain promotional incentives such as Capital Subsid y\, Viability Gap Funding (VGF)\, Gross/Net Metering\, Purchase of Power t hrough Long Term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA)\, encouraging domestic ma nufacturing of Solar PV equipment / components\, etc.\n\nOur Country being an Agriculture based economy\, and has crores of Irrigation pump-sets. Th ese depend on grid power. This is a major potential area where Solar PV Pl ants (SPP) of low capacity can be vastly utilized. Also\, Govt. of India a nnounced PM-KUSUM scheme for solarisation of existing pump-sets\, installi ng dedicated solar plants at distribution feeder level feeding exclusive A griculture loads etc. The presentation would discuss main features of KUSU M scheme etc.\n\nAlso\, in this webinar the main focus will be to present and discuss about the opportunities available for Solar PV Power Plants at Distribution level and their Technical and Commercial implications and Fu ture prospects.\n**********************\n\nAbout the Invited Speaker :\n\n Sri AVLK Jagannadha Sarma is a Post Graduate with M.Tech in Electrical Mac hines & Industrial Drives .
