Industrial Site Visit to World's Largest Solar Park/ Ultra MW (816 MWp) Solar PV based Power Plant of M/s Greenko, in Ghani Village, Near Kurnool, AP State, India
Target Audience: This Program is arranged on 5-Oct-2018, Specially for students (Including IEEE-Student Members) who came for attending the All Hyderabad (Section)-PES Student Congress held just on the previous 2 days on 3rd & 4th, OCt-2018.
Also, invited are IEEE-Members / Practising Professional/ Engineers from Industry and other Interested Persons.
About the Solar Park installed by M/s Greenko with 816 MWp Solar PV based Power Plant: The project was implemented by the Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Corporation Private Limited (APSPCL), a joint venture of the Government of Andhra Pradesh and government of India. M/s Greenko installed a 816MWp output capacity Ultra Mega Solar PV based Power Plant in this Solar Park at Kurnool. This contributed to a giant leap in the Solar Capacity installed in the Andhra Pradesh State. Construction of this Plant was started in October 2016 and it was commissioned on 31st March 2017 – in 166 days, much ahead of the scheduled commissioning date of April 21st, 2017.
This Kurnool Solar Park is spread over a total area of 5,932.32 acres (24.0072 km2) in the Ghani and Sakunala villages of Kurnool district of AP State. The region is arid. The park utilizes over 4 million solar panels with capacities of 315 and 320 Watts. The panels are connected to four 220/33 kV pooling stations of 250 MW each and a 400 / 220kV grid substation through nearly 2,000 circuit kilometers of cables. During a sunny day, the Kurnool Solar Park is able to generate more than 8 million kWh of electricity, which is sufficient to meet virtually the entire electricity demand in Kurnool district. A documentary on this project was telecasted in Discovery channel also.
The Operations & Maintenance of the Ultra Mega solar park is undertaken by Greenko’ s Asset management group. M/s Greenko has at this site a staff of about 100 trained AC and DC engineers along with technicians. They attend daily, to the Preventive & Breakdown maintenance works. Also they maintain to ensure high availability of the Plant and the Grid and eliminate the Solar Power Plant under performances, thus leading to high level of Generation and compliance to Performance Ratios.
The permission for this visit was obtained by IEEE-Student Branch of G.Pulla Reddy Engineering College (GPREC) from Andhra Pradesh Solar Power Corporation (a Govt. of AP Organization) and M/s Greenko company was assigned this task to explain and demonstrate the Solar plant. Sri Sreenivas Naidu, the Head of Greenko Solar Power plant at Kurnool arranged 2 engineers i.e Sri Sreenivas Reddy and Sri Mahesh Kumar from Greenko company for explanation of the project as well as demonstration of the site for all the participants.
During the visit all the participants (Total participants no is 150) who attended a two day “All Hyderabad Power and Energy Society Students Congress (AHPESSC-2018)” are to be divided into three batches (50 members in one group) as per suggestion from the M/s Greenko officials. The company officials will explain in detail about how solar energy from the Sun can be utilized to generate electricity, even at MW level. Later Greenko officials will demonstrate the Systems / Sub-Systems / equipment used for solar electric power generation. Finally the participants will be taken for site visit and they will be demonstrated how the plant works.
