    Given this background, we shall now examine the various issues related to the deregulated power industry and the new paradigms of system operation. First we shall discuss power sector deregulation in some more detail with emphasis on the two distinct structures of deregulation that have emerged. As we have mentioned earlier, several players have emerged in the deregulated electricity markets. Consequently, many of the activities of system operation have been taken over by different entities. For example, the genco, the transco and the system operator, each now have a role to play, independent of each other, while at the same time needing to coordinate their activities in order to maintain the system security and reliability.

    Indian solar radiation data

    Analysis, assessment and applications


    Prof. M.M. Wagh

    Indian solar radiation data analysis


    The move is aimed at enabling states and developers of solar power
    projects take investment decisions based on scientific rationale.
    MNRE have already set up 51 solar monitoring stations for
    assessment of solar power in the country, which are going to
    expand...60 more such stations shall come, and very soon entire
    country would be covered.
    The stations have equipment to record all types of data on radiation,
    from sun, especially at sites that fall in zones receiving higher direct
    solar radiation in a view to generate investment-grade solar radiation
    data.
    The ministry has assigned the task of solar radiation monitoring to CWET, Chennai, as centralised data collection now being done there.

    MNRE is also looking to give a subsidy push to the rooftop


    projects in renewable and is mulling a special scheme for
    the purpose.
    MNRE is coming out with a separate scheme to give a
    push to rooftop and want to open out this sector in such a
    manner that people can generate power from their roofs
    for themselves and put surplus power directly into the
    grid, without it being stored in batteries first
    People should be able to generate power at the cost of Rs
    8 to 9 per unit and with some subsidy it should come
    down to Rs 5 to 6 per unit and get stabilised over next 25
    years, .
    Rooftop has the potential to change the face of power
    generation in India, it is for the power distribution
    companies to understand its importance.

    A study undertaken by the ministry with industry experts shows that for
    next five years there will be no trouble in putting power directly into grid.
    In current Five-Year plan, the target for renewable energy in the country
    has been set at 30,000 MW, which require an estimated investment of Rs
    2.5 lakh crore.
    "Of this 30,000 MW, 15,000 MW is for wind, 10,000 MW for solar, 3,000
    MW for hydro and balance for other resources like bio-mass etc.
    About India's power scenario, the country has over 2 lakh MW of installed
    capacity, besides 30,000 to 40,000 MW capacity of captive generation.
    The renewable installed capacity is now 25,000 MW, which is 12 per cent
    of installed capacity and 5 per cent of the energy used.
    On National Solar Mission,the target of 20,000 MW for the first phase
    ending March 2013 will be met and shall exceed both in terms of grid and
    off-grid.
    In the second phase, the target is to achieve 10,000 MW by 2017. The
    Government of India (GoI) will come out with some schemes to procure
    around 3,000 MW, while approximately 6,000 MW is expected to come
    from various state government schemes.

    Solar Radiation Resource


    Assessment

    Ministry of New and Renewable Energy


    (MNRE) has initiated a major project on Solar
    Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA)
    across the nation to assess and quantify the
    solar radiation availability along with weather
    parameters with a view to develop Solar
    Atlas. Centre for Wind Energy Technology (CWET), Chennai is implementing the project by
    installing a network of 51 Automatic Solar
    Radiation Monitoring Stations (ASRMS) in the
    first phase in different States using high
    quality, high resolution
    equipment/instruments.

    Each ASRMS consists of two towers of 1.5 m


    and 6 m tall each. The 1.5 m tall tower houses
    a Solar Tracker equipped with Pyranometer,
    Pyranometer with Shaded Ring and
    Pyrheliometer to measure solar parameters,
    such as, global, diffused and direct radiation.
    The 6 m tall tower houses instruments
    measuring rainfall, ambient temperature,
    atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, wind
    speed and direction. Each ASRMS is totally
    powered by 160 Watt SPV Panels and consists
    of 13 equipments/instruments and records 37
    parameters inclusive of both measured and
    derived.

    The data from each ASRMS averaged


    to 10 minutes will be transmitted to a
    Central Receiving Station established
    at C-WET, Chennai through GPRS
    mode. The implementation of the
    project has started from February
    2011 and all stations have already
    been installed, completed and
    commissioned. The monthly average
    (daily) wise data received from each
    ASRMS is available on C-WET website
    as test run.

    Solar Radiation data in India


    India is endowed with rich solar energy
    resource since it is located in the equatorial
    sun belt of the earth. Theoretically Indias solar
    power reception is about 5000 trillion
    kWh/year with about 300 clear sunny days in a
    year. The daily average solar energy incident
    over India varies from 4 to 7 kWh/m2with
    about 2,3003,200 sunshine hours per year,
    depending upon location. This is far more than
    current total energy consumption.
    The daily average global radiation is around 5
    Kwh/m2 in north - eastern and hilly areas to
    about 7 Kwh/m2 in Western regions and cold
    desert areas.

    The annual global radiation varies from 1600


    to 2200 kWh/m2, which is comparable with
    radiation received in the tropical and subtropical regions.Although the highest annual
    global radiation is received in Rajasthan,
    northern Gujarat, Tamilnadu and parts of
    Ladakh region, the parts of Andhra Pradesh,
    Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka
    also receive fairly large amount of radiation
    as compared to many parts of the world
    especially Japan, Europe and the US where
    development and deployment of solar
    technologies is maximum. Thus it is clear that
    solar power projects are commercially viable
    in most parts of India.

    Solar radiation in Maharashtra


    Dhule and Jalgaon from north
    Maharashtra, Osmanabad and
    Aurangabad from Marathwada and
    Chandrapur and Wardha districts of
    Vidarbha have the highest exposure
    to solar rays.

    Solar radiation in Rajasthan


    The direct normal insolation over
    Rajasthan varies from 1800 Kwh/m2
    to 2600Kwh/m2.Mostly the western
    part of Rajasthan is blessed with
    abundant solar energy. Jodhpur in
    Rajasthan is receiving maximum
    solar radiation which is known as Sun
    City of India. Rajasthan is also
    blessed with abundant land, so it
    would be ideal for solar PV.

    Solar Radiation in Gujarat


    Gujarat receives second largest
    amount of solar radiation in India.
    Gujarat receives 5.5 to 6
    Kwh/sq.m/day with 300 sunny
    days/year. Most locations in Gujarat
    receive an annual Direct Normal
    Incidence (DNI) in between 1,800 2,000 Kwh/m2.
