100 MW Floating in a Solar Project: India’s largest floating solar power project made a fully functional.

100 MW Floating in a Solar Project: India’s largest floating solar power project made a fully functional.

India is a  largest floating solar power plant: The 100-MW Floating Solar project is a powered with a advanced technology and the environment friendly in a features. 

100 MW Floating Solar Project: India is a largest floating solar power plant has been a made fully functional at the  Ramagundam, Telangana. The National Thermal Power Corporation (N T P C) declared a commercial operation of the plant is a final capacity of the  20 MW out of the total  100 MW Ramagundam Floating Solar P V Project with a effect from July 1, on 2022. 

With the nonoperational of the 100-MW Solar P V Project at the  Ramagundam, the total commercial operation of the  Floating Solar Capacity in a Southern Region has risen to the 217 MW. The N T P C had a declared commercial operation of the  92 MW Floating Solar at the Kayamkulam (Kerala) and 25 MW Floating Solar on the reservoir of it is a Simhadri thermal station in  a Vishakha patnam, Andhra Pradesh last year in a August on 2021. 

100 MW Floating Solar in a Project: 7 Important Facts about a India’s largest floating solar power plant

• The 100-MW Floating Solar in a project is  a powered with a advanced technology and environment friendly in a features. 
• It was a built with a financial implication of the  Rs. 423 crores through M/s B H E L  as E P C (Engineering, Procurement and the Construction) in a contract.
• The project, divided into 49 blocks with a each having a 2.5 MW, spreads over a 500 acres of it is a reservoir. 
• Each a block comprises one floating platform and an a array of the  11,200 solar modules.
• The floating platform are comprises an a inverter,  transformer and transformer and a HT breaker. 
• The solar modules are placed on a floaters manufactured with a H D P E (High Density Polyethylene) in a material.
• The entire floating in a system is a being anchored through a special H M P E (High a Modulus Polyethylene) rope to the dead weights placed in the balancing reservoir bed. The power is a evacuated to the existing switch yard through a 33 K V underground in a cables.

Significance & Benefits 

• The 100-MW Floating Solar in a project is unique as it is a includes all the electrical equipment are including inverter, transformer, HT panel and S C A D A (supervisory control and data acquisition) are also on a floating ferry cement in a  platforms. 
• The most obvious advantage is a minimum land requirement that is a mostly for a  associated evacuation are arrangements. 
• The presence of the floating solar panels reduces in the evaporation rate from a water bodies, in thus helping in a water conservation.
• This would help a avoid approximately 32.5 lakh cubic meters per year water evaporation.
