Historically, the primary means of providing power have been through grid extension and diesel
generators.
Grid Extension: Very high initial cost, poor cost recovery, time intensive (generation,
transmission, distribution) and usually must be subsidized. Most often used.
Diesel Generators: Inexpensive installation but expensive to operate, environmental
damage/pollution, and subject to volatile fuel costs and availability.
A hybrid energy system consists of two or more renewable energy sources used together to provide
increased system efficiency as well as greater balance in energy supply.
Higher Reliability (?)
Hybrids reduce daily & seasonal resource variations
but more complex more parts to break.
How much of which technologies to use? diesel, solar, wind, biomass, hydro
The motivation to evaluate the performance of solar power plant based on a developed model
comprises photovoltaic array, battery storage, controller and converters. The flowchart of the
developed monitoring technique is shown in figure 1.
Industry and a snapshot of operations.
Most parts of India receive good solar radiation 4- 7 kWh/sq.
m/day
Possible to meet growing energy demands and cover deficit areas
Can substantially reduce consumption of kerosene and diesel for
lighting and power generation
Provide access and empowerment at grass root level
Zero Customs & Excise Duties on solar cells, modules and many
raw materials and grid power projects
5% Customs and Excise duty on many other raw materials,
components
Tax - Holiday for :

Grid power projects
80% accelerated depreciation in the first year for certain capital
investments
Grant for carrying out research and development and technology
validation projects
Dynamic model of the solar power plant
In this section, the dynamic simulation model is described for PV/battery power system. The developed
model consists of a photovoltaic array, dc/dc converter with an isolated transformer, designed for
achieving the maximum power point (MPP) with a current reference control (Iref) produced by P&O
algorithm, and Li-Ion battery storage.
The excess energy with respect to the load requirement is used for battery charging. The excess power
demand of the user is supplied by the battery storage system. The block diagram of the developed
PV/battery power system is shown in figure 2
Company serves,
The electricity produced by business with traditional utilities and other alternative energy providers in terms of
price, reliability and scalability.
Primary competitors are likely to be large-scale alternative energy suppliers, such as other solar farms, wind turbine
farms and large hydroelectric utilities.
The traditional energy suppliers & amp;mdash;coal, natural gas and nuclear utilities —in region
Company plan for gaining market share from these well-established powerhouses.
Target customers are likely to be established utility companies, large businesses and government entities.
Sources of funding, including bank loans, stock offerings and government grants. Grants are likely to play a large
role in the initial funding of an alternative energy company.
Personnel plan.
Organizational structure chart
The number and types of staff that will be employed in the solar farm initial years.
Staff to a minimum as long as possible in this business, using third-party labor for the installation of your solar
equipment, and employing a small work force for maintenance and upkeep in addition to a small office staff.
Downside Risk:
Land Availability to scale up the project
PV cells use environmentally hazardous material - Environmental clearances from govt.
may be a risk during scaling up
Uncertainty in revenue stream due to future uncertainty related to tariff, cost leadership
issue or availability of alternate energy (Gas)
Reward (Upside Potential):
An executive summary,
Scaling up of Power Plant.
Manufacturing of Solar Unit Vertical integration Cost Reduction
Geographical Diversification of Business Focus on area of less availability of
