This 100MW solar power plant was completed in record 80% of stipulated timelines, and nearly 3 months ahead of the stringent schedule. The 100 MW plant is expected to generate nearly 160 million units (kWh) of energy per year and help offset approximately 110,000 tonnes of CO 2 in the first year.
A 100 MW thermal power plant for instance would require less than 10% of the total area that a 100 MW solar PV power plant would. Solar power plants require significantly larger land areas compared to conventional power plants.
The plant is expected to generate nearly 160 million units (kWh) of energy per year, thereby reducing the load on the conventional grid and help offset approximately 110,000 tonnes of CO 2 in the first year and thereafter.
However, owing to the fact that large ground mounted solar PV farms require space for other accessories, the total land required for a 1 MW of solar PV power plant will be about 4 acres. The above estimate is however for conventional solar PV power plants – those that are based on crystalline silicon and do not use trackers.
Solar Mango estimates that an additional 1 or 2 acres is required per MW for a solar power plant which desires to use the tracker technology. However, in the final analysis, even after taking this additional land requirement, solar farms with trackers are most likely to generate more energy than those without, for a given area.
“As it is an area with minimal developable land, the developer could not install such a large project with conventional solar technologies, which usually require between five and six acres of land per megawatt,” said Erthos.
A typical design configuration of 100 MW solar power plant
In conclusion, the configuration of a 100 MW AC and 145 MW DC solar power plant requires several major components, including solar modules, mounting structures, inverters, and SCB inputs. The solar power plant must be designed to withstand high temperatures and intermittent voltage levels, with an evacuation voltage level of 220 KV. With proper planning …
