About TERI
A dynamic and flexible organization with a global vision and
local focus, TERI was established in 1974. While in the initial
period the focus was mainly on documentation and information
dissemination activities, research activities in the fields of
energy, environment, and sustainable development were
initiated towards the end of 1982. The genesis of these activities
lay in TERI’s firm belief that efficient utilization of energy,
sustainable use of natural resources, large-scale adoption of
renewable energy technologies, and reduction of all forms of
waste would move the process of development towards the goal
of sustainability.

Terminology
Direct solar radiation

It is the solar radiation propagating along the line joining the
receiving surface and the sun. It is also referred as beam
radiation. It is measured through pyrehiliometer.
Diffuse solar radiation

It is the solar radiation scattered by aerosols, dust and
molecules. It does not have a unique direction and also dose not
follows the fundamental principals of optics. It is measured by
shading pyrenometer.
Global solar radiation

The global solar radiation is the sum of the direct and diffuse
solar radiation and is sometimes referred to as the global
radiation. The most common measurements of solar radiation
are total radiation on a horizontal surface often referred to as
‘global radiation’ on the surface. It is measured by pyrenometer.
Irradiance
Irradiance is the rate at which radiant energy is incident on a
surface, per unit area of surface.
Direct Normal Insolation (DNI)

It is the direct component of the solar radiation incident on
normal to the collector; means the angle of incidence of incident
solar radiation with the normal of the collector is zero
throughout the day.
CHAPTER 1 Proposed site to setting up the solar power
plant
Site details
The proposed location of the solar power plant based on Dish-
Sterling technology, is near village Bap in Phalodi Tahsil
(latitude 27°06’ to 27°09’ North and 72°20’ to 72°23’ East) of
Jodhpur district of Rajasthan state. Bap town is situated at
distance of 140 km. from Jodhpur and connected to Jodhpur-
Jaisalmer railway line.

CHAPTER 2 Solar radiation resource assessment
Preamble
India is located in the sunny belt of the earth, thereby receiving
abundant radiant energy from the sun. Its equivalent energy
potential is about 6,000 million GWh of energy per year. India
being a tropical country is blessed with good sunshine over
most parts, and the number of clear sunny days in a year also
being quite high. India is in the sunny belt of the world. The
country receives solar energy equivalent to more than 5,000
trillion kWh per year. The daily average global radiation is
around 5 .0 kWh/m2 in north-eastern and hilly areas to about
7.0 kWh/m2 in western regions and cold dessert areas with the
sunshine hours ranging between 2300 and 3200 per year. In
most parts of India, clear sunny weather is experienced for 250
to 300 days a year. The annual global radiation varies from
1600 to 2200 kWh/m2. The direct normal insolation1 (DNI)
over Rajasthan varies from 1800 kWh/m2 to 2600 kWh/m2.
This chapter covers the detailed-feasibility of solar radiation
resource assessment and Direct Normal Insolation (DNI) study
for Jodhpur Rajasthan.
Rajasthan
Rajasthan is situated in the north-western part of India. It
covers 342,239 square kilometres. Rajasthan lies between
latitudes 23o 3'and 30o 12', North and longitudes 69o 30' and 78o
17', East. The southern part of Rajasthan is about 225 km from
the Gulf of Kutch and about 400 km from the Arabian Sea.
Rajasthan is bounded by Pakistan in the west and north-west;
by the State of Punjab in the north; by Haryana in the north-
east; by Uttar Pradesh in the east, by Madhya Pradesh in the
south-east and Gujarat in the south-west.
The climate of Rajasthan can be divided into four seasons;
summers, Monsoon, Post-Monsoon and winter. A summer,
which extends from April to June, is the hottest season, with
temperatures ranging from 32 oC to 45 oC. In western Rajasthan
the temp may rise to 48 oC, particularly in May and June. The
second season Monsoon extends from July to September, temp
drops, but humidity increases, even when there is slight drop in
the temp (35 oC to 40 oC). 90% of rains occur during this period.
The Post-monsoon period is from October to November. The
average maximum temperature is 33o C to 38o C, and the
1DNI= Direct normal insolation; all concentrating solar power

technologies comprises this component of solar radiation only.
Rajasthan
minimum is between 18 oC and 20 oC. The fourth season is

winter or the cold season, from December to March. There is a
marked variation in maximum and minimum temperatures and
regional variations across the state. January is the coolest
month of the year. There is slight precipitation in the north and
north-eastern region of the state, and light winds,
predominantly from the north and northeast. At this time,
relative humidity ranges from 50% to 60% in the morning, and
25% to 35% in the afternoon.
The north-west part of the country is best suited for solar
energy based projects because the location receives maximum
amount of solar radiation annually in the country. Figure 2.1
presents the annual average DNI map for the northwest region
of India.

Solar radiation over Rajasthan

Rajasthan receives maximum solar radiation intensity in India.
In addition the average rainfall is minimum in the state, hence
best suited for solar power generation. The global solar radiation
map of Rajasthan is presented in Figure 2.2; which is based on
the measured data of Indian Metrological Department (IMD)
and satellite data through NASA. The map clearly emphasize

7 Solar radiation resource assessment
that the western and southern parts of the state receives good
amount of annual average solar radiation. Jodhpur is also one
representative location of Rajasthan State.

Bap, Jodhpur
Jodhpur is the one of the largest district of Rajasthan is
centrally situated in Western region of the State, having
geographical area of 22850 sq. km. The district stretches
between 2600’ and 27037’ at North Latitude and between 72o55’
and 73o 52’ at East Longitude. This district is situated at the
height between 250-300 meters above sea level. Jodhpur is
bound by Nagaur in East, Jaisalmer in west, Bikaner in North as
well as Pali in the South. The length of the district from North to
South and from East to West is 197 Km. & 208 Km. respectively.
This district comes under arid zone of the Rajasthan state. It
covers 11.60% of total area of arid zone of the state. The average
rainfall is around 360 millimetres, it is extraordinarily variable.
Bap block of Jodhpur district is and situated between Jodhpur,
Jaisalmer and Bikaner districts in western Rajasthan. Located
in the heart of the Thar desert, Bap gives the impression of
endless desolation, with scattered habitation. A typical sun path
diagram2 for Bap, Jodhpur has been presented in Figure 2.3.
2Sun path diagrams are a convenient way of representing annual changes

in the path of the Sun through the sky within a single 2D diagram. Their
most immediate use is that the solar azimuth and altitude can be read off
directly for any time of the day and day of the year. They also provide a
unique summary of solar position that the designer can refer to when
considering shading requirements and design options.

Solar radiation resource assessment

Resource assessment is the primary and essential exercise
towards project evaluation. In India, the Indian Meteorological
Department (IMD) measures the solar radiation and other
climatic parameters over various locations across the country
however, the measuring stations record only global and diffuse
solar radiation on horizontal surfaces. The parabolic Dish-
Sterling technology utilises infrared component of direct
normal component of global solar radiation; which is essentially
the solar radiation measured/assessed at a surface normal to
Sun rays throughout the day. The direct solar radiation is not
measured at many locations of India; while it could be
estimated through global and diffuse solar radiation on
horizontal surface. The direct solar radiation is not measured by
IMD in Jodhpur while the global and diffuse solar radiation
values are measuring from last 25-30 years. The best way of
carrying out the solar radiation resource assessment is to use

9 Solar radiation resource assessment
TMY3 (Typical Meteorological Year weather data files) data files

for selected location. Since the TMY data files for Indian
locations are not available hence in the present study the
METEONORM4 database has been used for solar radiation
study and DNI estimation. Further the DNI values estimated
using METEONORM data base have been compared with the
values obtained using IMD data as well as with the NASA
satellite data for the location of Jodhpur.
In order to assess the closeness of the METEONORM data a
comparison of the monthly values obtained from ‘Handbook of
Solar Radiation’ by A Mani5 with TMY data of METEONORM.
The annual global solar radiation through Mani and
METEONORM database has been obtained as 2201 kWh/m2
and 2051 kWh/m2 respectively; which are very close (<7%
deviation). Figure 2.4 presents the global solar radiation over
Bap, Jodhpur using the data of A Mani and METEONORM.

3 † TMY data sets for 234 U.S. locations, derived from the widely accepted 1952-1975 SOLMET/ERSATZ data base, have
been modified at the Solar Energy Laboratory for ease of use with the TRNSYS energy system simulation program. The
original TMY files are ASCII text files containing one year of weather data (ranging from solar radiation to precipitation) at one
hour time intervals. TRNSYS TMY files, containing only the most widely used information from the original files and corrected
for known problems.
4 METEONORM is a comprehensive meteorological reference, incorporating a catalogue of meteorological data and

calculation procedures for solar applications and system design at any desired location in the world. It is based on over 20
years of experience in the development of meteorological databases for energy applications. METEONORM addresses
engineers, architects, teachers, planners and anyone interested in solar energy and climatology. The database includes
climatological data of 7 700 weather stations (60 stations of India) based on measured climatic parameters viz. solar radiation,
temperature, humidity, precipitation, days with precipitation, wind speed and direction, sunshine duration etc. including
complete coverage of the global, including polar regions.

Rajasthan
TMY file for the locations of Jodhpur has been selected from
METEONORM database. A program has been developed to
estimate the direct solar radiation over stationary and tracking
surfaces (single axis, double-axis) using computer software
TRNSYS6. TRNSYS is a time dependent systems simulation
program, which recognizes a system description language in
which the user specifies the components that constitute the
system and the manner in which they are connected. The
TRNSYS library includes many of the components commonly
found in thermal and electrical energy systems, as well as
component routines to handle input of weather data or other
time-dependent forcing functions and output of simulation
results. TRNSYS is well suited to detailed analyses of any
system whose behaviour is dependent on the passage of time.
Table 2.1 presents the outcome of solar radiation resource
assessment for Bap, Jodhpur. It has been estimated that the
location receives 2241 kWh/m2 Direct Normal Incidence over
the year. The monthly values of global solar radiation, diffuse
radiation and effective sunshine hours at Bap, Jodhpur has also
been given in the Table 2.1. The daily average values of solar

CHAPTER 3 Proposed technology
Concentrating solar power (CSP) plants produce electricity by

converting the infrared part of solar radiation into high-
temperature heat using various mirror/reflector and receiver
configurations. The heat is then channelled through a
conventional generator. The plants consist of two parts: one
that collects solar energy and converts it to heat, commonly
known as ‘solar field’ and another that converts heat energy to
electricity, known as ‘power block’.
CSP plants use the high-temperature heat from concentrating
solar collectors to drive conventional types of engines turbines.
Overview of concentrating solar power technology

All CSP are based on four basic essential sub systems namely
collector, receiver (absorber), transport/ storage and power
conversion. Following four CSP technologies have either
reached commercialisation stage or are near it:

Figure 3.1 Overview of Concentrating Solar Thermal System
Parabolic trough collector

Parabolic trough-shaped mirror reflectors are used to
concentrate sunlight on to thermally efficient receiver-tubes
placed in the trough’s focal line. The troughs are usually
designed to track the Sun along one axis, predominantly north–
south. A thermal transfer fluid, such as synthetic thermal oil, is
circulated in these tubes. The fluid is heated to approximately
Rajasthan
400°C by the sun’s concentrated rays and then pumped through

a series of heat exchangers to produce superheated steam. The
steam is converted to electrical energy in a conventional steam
turbine generator, which can either be part of a conventional
steam cycle or integrated into a combined steam and gas
turbine cycle.
Central receiver system

A circular array of heliostats (large mirrors two-axis with
tracking) concentrates sunlight on to a central receiver mounted
at the top of a tower. A heat-transfer medium in this central
receiver absorbs the highly concentrated radiation reflected by
the heliostats and converts it into thermal energy, which is used
to generate superheated steam for the turbine. To date, the heat
transfer media demonstrated include water/steam, molten salts
and air. If pressurised gas or air is used at very high
temperatures of about 1,000°C or more as the heat transfer
medium, it can even be used to directly replace natural gas in a
gas turbine, making use of the excellent cycle (60% and more)
of modern gas and steam combined cycles.
Parabolic dish-sterling technology

A paraboloid dish-shaped reflector (commonly called as
parabolic dish) concentrates sunlight on to a receiver located at
the focal point of the dish. The concentrated beam radiation is
absorbed into a receiver to heat a fluid or gas (air) to
approximately 750°C. This fluid or gas is then used to generate
electricity in a small piston or Stirling engine or a micro turbine,
attached to the receiver. The parabolic dish are designed to
track the Sun along both axis, predominantly north–south and
east-west.
Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR)

An array of nearly-flat reflectors concentrates solar radiation
onto elevated inverted linear receivers. Water flows through the
receivers and is converted into steam. This system is line-
concentrating, similar to a parabolic trough, with the
advantages of low costs for structural support and reflectors,
fixed fluid joints, a receiver separated from the reflector system,
and long focal lengths that allow the use of flat mirrors. The
technology is seen as a potentially lower-cost alternative to
trough technology for the production of solar process heat.
Figure 3.2 presents the schematic diagram of above CST
technologies.

It has been observed that parabolic trough collector is well

proven but the suppliers are not available in India and the
projects based on the technology become viable for large
capacity. The size of power plant under trough as well as tower
technology is dependent on size and economics of steam turbine
and such trough as well as tower technology does not have
capability and flexibility of development on modular concept for
small to large size. The power tower technology also requires big
amount of land as compared with other CSP technologies.
CLFR technology is new but again similar as above technologies
in point of view of modularity. In addition all these three

technologies consume a big amount of water for cooling tower

and heat transfer medium. In these power plants only thermal
energy is collected through solar collectors, rest parts are
similar as conventional thermal power plants which comprise
steam turbine, generator and other associated moving parts.
Hence the cost of operation and maintenances increases.

Rajasthan
Taking in to account all advantages and limitations of all CSP

technologies Shi Rangam Brokers & holdings Limited (Dalmia
cement [Bharat] Ltd.) has selected parabolic-dish sterling
technology which is modular and requires no water and heat
transfer fluid etc. Presently there are three major companies
worldwide who are manufacturing parabolic dish-sterling
systems of different capacities. These are M/s Infinia Solar
Systems, M/s Sterling Energy Systems and M/s Sun Power. The
technological characterises of all CSP technologies are given in
Table 3.3.

Presently, solar energy is utilised to generate electricity through

solar photovoltaic, concentrated solar thermal power (CSP)
plants and parabolic dish sterling engine etc. The solar
photovoltaic route comprises ultraviolet portion and high
energy region of solar spectrum; and mainly utilizes crystalline
silicon, polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon (a-Si) or
cadmium telluride (CdTe) and other thin film photovoltaic solar
cells. It has been noticed that these materials are based on
highly refined silicon or rare earth tellurium; which has lesser
potential of cost reduction in near future. The thin films has
shown possibilities of cost reduction but also carries sufficient
degradation and hence reduction of efficiency.
The Parabolic trough collector, or heliostat field collectors
based CSP power plants and other concentrating solar thermal
technologies utilizes visible and infrared portion of incident

solar radiation to achieve high temperatures and hence

generation of steam to run the turbine.
Rajasthan receives significant annual average DNI and
comprises huge waste/desert land, which are the basic
requirements to install CSP plant. Water requirement for CSP
plants might be one of the drawbacks for the region because
Rajasthan has limited water resources. The power generation
can be effected only because of the availability of water. Getting
water supply from existing reservoirs or canal might add
additional cost in the project and could affect its viability. The
electricity generation through parabolic dish sterling engine
system does not require water for operation. In addition these
systems are best suited solar power technology for decentralized
and distributed power generation as they are modular units of
3kW capacity. This dish-sterling engine, is based on sterling
cycle instead prior to carnot cycle and hence shows the highest
efficiency. The sterling engine has efficiency of 24% compare to
the 15% maximum efficiency of solar photovoltaic. It is
therefore the best suited technology for Rajasthan. Further
being simple mechanical device, has potential of cost reduction
by indigenisation.
The company has identified Parabolic Dish-Sterling
concentrating solar power technology developed by INFINIA
Corp, USA. INFINIA Corporation, a USA based company is
commercially manufacturing the parabolic dish-sterling
systems and has joined hands with Dalmia Cement (Bharat)
Ltd., towards supply of the technology. The technical
specifications of this parabolic dish-sterling system of are
discusses below.
The System consists of following principal components;
Heat Drive
Chassis
Parabolic dish solar Reflector
Bi-axial Drive and
Solid state Power Electronics & Control System
All components are out-door rated and will meet Ingress

Progression Standards IP54 (Heat Drive), IP56 (Electrical
Enclosures) and IP66 (Bi-axial drive)7. The Heat Drive consists of a
Cavity Receiver that captures the concentrated sunlight from the
parabolic reflector, a Free Piston Stirling Engine that efficiently
converts the solar energy to electricity, and a heat rejection system
similar to an automotive cooling system (Figure 3.3).
The Product manual and detail specifications are enclosed in
Annexure II.
7IP54, IP56, and IP66 are the international standards applicable for
outdoor installation of mechanical/electrical system.

Figure 3.3 Major components of the ISS
Infinia Solar System (ISS)

Infinia’s Solar System relies on a advanced Free-Piston Stirling
Engine (FPSE)- initially developed for NASA for space
applications- to convert concentrated solar heat to electricity.
Infinia FPSEs convert thermal energy from external energy
sources to linear motion which drives an integral linear
alternator, thus generating clean, reliable electricity. The system
integrates a Stirling engine (Heat Drive), a parabolic dish solar
Reflector, a Bi-axial Drive mounted on a Chassis, and Power
Electronics and Control Systems. The Bi-axial Drive points the
system at the sun and tracks the sun throughout the day to
concentrate sunlight off the mirrored face of the parabolic dish
into the Heat Drive. This concentrated thermal energy is
converted to linear motion and drives the power piston of a
linear alternator. AC electrical output of the alternator is
rectified to DC by the power electronics and automatically
inverted to match the AC voltage and frequency of the connected
grid. The main features of the parabolic dish-sterling system of
Infinia Solar System are;
3,000 W net AC
Long-life, zero-maintenance Free-Piston Stirling Engine
Dual Axis Tracking
Self-contained power electronics that meet utility
interconnection requirements

Performance of Infinia Solar System (ISS)
Methodology
The annual electrical output has been estimated on the basis of
hourly DNI values, ambient air temperature and prevailing
wind speed along with the rated specifications of Infinia Solar
System. Following considerations have been taken in to account
for output estimation;
Proposed Net efficiency of Infinia Solar System will be 24%
Electrical output 3 kW when DNI is greater than 850 W/m2
Efficiency De-rating because of ambient temperature
Efficiency De-rating because of wind
Efficiency De-rating because of age
Peak Power
Peak Electrical Power produced is 3,000 W at 850 W/m2 of
Direct Normal Incidence (after all internal parasitic power

requirements), at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. Electrical

energy output is grid-ready AC 3-phase 208/230 volt.
Performance curve
The performance curve (power output vs. solar DNI) of the ISS
is presented in Figure 3.5. The efficiency increases with solar
insolation. There is no generation till solar insolation of 100
kWh/sq. meters and when DNI increases above 850 W/m2, the
ISS does not increase its power production beyond the nominal
3,000 W output. As DNI increases above 850 W/m2, the system
will defocus reflectors thereby diverting the additional heat
input out of the system.
Figure 3.5 Performance curve of the system
De-Rating
The overall performance of the these systems mainly depends
on the DNI availability and partially depends upon ambient
temperature and prevailing wind speed. In addition the de-
rating factor is also associated with the age of the system.
Temperature De-rating
Altitude and ambient temperature affects the performance and
energy output of ISS. Over the operating temperature range, -20
°C to 55 °C , power is de-rated by ~2.5-3.0% for every
temperature increase of 10 °C above 20 °C ambient, at 850
W/m2 of DNI.
For elevations above 1890 m [6,200 ft], increased fan
performance may be required.
Calculating the de-rating factor for high temperature
environments is as following;
850 W/m2, 20 °C >> 3,000 W
850 W/m2, 30 °C >> 3,000 W*(1-0.03) = ~2,910 W

Rajasthan
The hourly values of ambient temperature have been taken

using METEONORM database and day time values have been
filtered when system produces electricity. The above criteria
have been taken in to account with mentioned de-rating factors.
Wind Power De-rating

In order to assess the pattern of annual prevailing wind speed at
the location of Bap, satellite data of wind speed at the height of
10 meter has been taken and analyzed. It has been observed that
at the location maximum monthly average wind speed at the
height of 10 m is 3-3.5 m/s. Figure 3.6 presents the pattern of
monthly average wind speed at Bap, Jodhpur.

The ISS has been designed to structurally withstand wind

loading up to a maximum of 45 m/s. It will operate with
practically no power degradation due to no structural deflection
for wind speeds up to 7 m/s. Figure 3.7 shows the impact of a
constant wind during an entire day. This will result in a 1.7%
reduction in energy production for the location used in this
example.

Figure 3.7 Impact of wind on performance
System Age De-rating

System Efficiency has been calculated and is expected to
modestly degrade over time at a rate of 0.5% or less per year.
Several factors may affect system efficiency over time, such as
mirror edge degradation or environmental conditions that may
affect mirror reflectivity (e.g., wind debris or high humidity).
Over a twenty-five year life, the system efficiency may be
reduced as shown in the example here:
System Control
Infinia Solar System uses a high quality control mechanism to
control operations of individual dishes. It operates in following
modes;
System Calibration
At initial start-up, an electronic calibration table is
automatically built to ensure solar tracking accuracy.
System Check
Inverter, Rectifier, Motor (Azimuth, Elevation) Controllers, and
Sensors perform self tests at Operational Wake-Up and when
initialized by the user.
Operation
Typical operation starts with a system self check, the system
then “wakes up” and slews to the sun. Using Built In
algorithms, system calibrations, project site meteorological
inputs, real time sensor data and environmental conditions (like
temperature and wind), and user defined limits (in terms of
time of day or elevation of sun), system control automatically
monitor ISS/faults, initiates system alerts, processes algorithms,

Rajasthan
to make decision for tracking, adjusting tracking, stand by, slew

to sun and slew to stow mode.
Tracking
Tracking consists of aligning the axis of parabolic dish with that
of incident ray of the sun so that sun rays reflected by parabolic
dish is concentrated on receiver. Tracking is adjusted after
predefined interval so that at no stage sun rays do not focus on
receiver.
Standby
If after tracking has commenced during the day, sun can not be
tracked due to environmental conditions other than those of
slew to stow (e.g. low solar insolation not coinciding with sun
shine hours preset say due to cloud cover, suspended dust etc),
parabolic dish remain in stand by mode i.e. last tracked
position.
Slew to Sun
Slew to sun is initiated if user defined conditions of sun shine
are met to initiate it after wake up.
Slew to Stow
In addition to non sun shine hours ,if during sun shine hours
supplied by users, if abnormal conditions of high wind, hail
storm, fault on system (likely to remain uncured for long time),
etc, occurs system takes a decision to slew to stow”.
Inverter
Power output is set and produced compliant with the utility
voltage. Protective relay functions ensure safe system shutdown
in the event of grid failure or if system operates beyond
specification limits.
When the system is off, the unit enters the stow position and
remains connected to the grid. When the grid is not present, the
24-V DC battery provides power to the system electronics and
stows the system until the grid is present.
General specifications/Interface

Power Electronics and Control System

Engine Controller/Rectifier
The high efficiency engine controller/rectifier transforms
electrical power from the sterling engine in a closely controlled
manner to maintain engine control and maximize Stirling
engine energy conversion efficiency. The resulting high-voltage
DC power is an ideal supply source for the functionally
independent inverter.
Output Inverter
“The high efficiency bi-directional output inverter converts high
voltage DC produced by the engine controller/rectifier to grid-
Quality AC. As the inverter is a current source only, it
automatically matches the AC voltage and frequency that it sees
on the system output terminals. In addition, the inverter also
performs all the protective relay functions. Software has
adjustable parameters and set points for these protective relay
functions which allow the product to be easily configured to
meet the interconnect requirements. The output inverter is
housed in the weatherproof (IP56 rating) enclosure mounted on
the ISS unit near the ground and also houses the user interface
and connections, and batteries”
Interface
Voltage and frequency are automatically sensed and adjusted
according to voltages on the output/interconnection terminals
(grid connect). AC output from the system shall be connected to
the local grid in accordance with local regulations and
requirements. The ISS control system is accessed via the key
switch and the Ethernet port.
Operation and maintenance
Preventive maintenance
The ISS is a safe and reliable power conversion device which
can provide many years of safe dependable performance. Like
any power conversion device, preventive maintenance and a few
basic safety guidelines are to be followed.

Rajasthan
Proper operation of the tracking system is critical. The

tracking system ensures that the reflector is positioned to
maximize the solar energy captured by tracking the sun
throughout the day. This system will invert the dish to the
“stow” position at night or when environmental conditions are
outside of the system’s operating range. The Bi-axial Drive,
which is an integral part of the tracking system, must have its
oil changed every 10 years to ensure proper operation.
The ISS, designed with robust fail-safe circuitry that
prevents harm to the whole system in the event of component
failure, has an expected 25-year field life (listed at Table 3.6);
however several external components, with a service life less
than the 25-year field life, will need to be serviced or replaced if
they fail. For example, the batteries are constantly monitored by
the Control System to assure proper charge rates, discharge rate
and capacity. A system fault is triggered when the health of a
battery declines below safe tolerances; the system will either not
slew to sun for normal operation or will return to stow during
normal operation.
Table 3.6 Expected service life of service items

Components Life
Coolant pump 10 years
Coolant fan(s) 10 years
System electronics 7 years
Receiver sensors 7 years
Inverter box 10 years
Sensors 7 years
Batteries 5 years
Cleaning
Mirror cleaning maintains system efficiency and promotes the
long-life, high output of the ISS. Heat exchanger (radiator)
fouling is to be expected in the field life of this product.
Periodically cleaning the radiator fins will promote maximum
efficiency of the system.
Installation
The Infinia Solar System arrives in the field packaged in the
following subsystems:
Heat Drive Kit
Chassis Kit
Reflector Kit
Bi-axial Drive Kit
Power Electronics and Control System Kit
Safety
Lightning

ISS has built-in lightning protection that requires external

grounding. A 13 mm stainless steel stud/jam-nut is provided at
the base of the chassis pole to allow a heavy duty spade eyelet to
be connected. This can be interconnected to an external
ground/ lightning protection system. Besides this four
lightning masts will be installed in the four corners of the solar
field for lighting of the solar field as well as lightning protection.
System
The ISS is a safe and reliable power conversion device that will
provide many years of safe dependable performance. Just as
with any power conversion device, good sense and a few basic
safety guidelines should be heeded.
Foundation
The solar system structures have been designed to a survival
wind speed of 45 m/s in stow position. The system will move to
stow position when the wind speed approaches 14 m/s. The
foundation loads were calculated for these situations and
determined that the highest loads occurs when the dish is at the
horizontal position, while moving from operation position to
stow position. This condition could exist when the dish has
sensed a high wind condition and is moving to stow position.
Layout
Layout of parabolic solar dishes i.e. distances between dishes is
critical as it influences the output of the system and land area
requirement; while too close dishes can reduce land
requirement and also electrical cabling losses and cost, but the
dishes can cast shadow on each other and solar system
performance is reduced.
TERI has utilised special software named ECOTECH to
calculate/ show sun path and sun position in the sky for the
selected place (Bap) based on its geographical parameters,
simulate the shadow pattern for any unit, date and time and
analyse its impact on adjoining units thereby to optimise the
solar plant layout design. The pictorial out put of the ECOTECH
software are shown in the Figure 3.8 and 3.9 below.
The calculation shows that solar field area of about 60-70
acre is required for the 10 MW capacity plant.

Sizing of a 10 MW Solar Dish-Sterling power plant
Solar dish sterling power plant will be built in 1 MW modules.

The total numbers of Infinia solar system units of 3 kW capacity
in each 1 MW module of a solar concentrating power project are
estimated as 334. Each module will be made up mainly of sub
module of 25 dishes connected in array of 5x5 to produce 75kWp
power (vide Figure 3.11). There will be 14 such modules (13 full
75 kW module and 1 part module of 45kW - vide Figure 3.12) to
give 1MW module.
Figure 3.11 Illustration of sub module of 5x5 arrays of 3 kW ISS

Rajasthan
TX = 208 v/distribution voltage transformer

Figure 3.12 Illustrations of 5x3 arrays of sub modules to make 1 MW module
The total area required for the ISS based solar power plant of
the capacity of 10 MW is approximately as 70 acres. This are
includes the inter dish spacing, area of cabling and internal
transmission network of the power plant etc.
As there are 333-334 ISS dishes are used for 1 MW
concentrating solar power plant. Hence 3330-3340 ISS dishes
are required in the power plant of the capacity of 10 MW.
Estimation of power output

The efficiency of the ISS system is claimed to be 24 percent.
Accordingly the net annual electrical energy output of the ISS
parabolic dish-sterling system mainly depends upon the
following parameters;
Direct normal incidence (DNI)
De-rating factors
- Ambient temperature (oC)
- Prevailing wind speed (m/s) and
- System age
Field losses (~ 4.0 %)
The efficiency distribution pattern of the complete system is

The output of the ISS dish has been estimated on hourly basis
incorporating the de-rating due to ambient temperature and
prevailing wind speed. The de-rating because of system age has
not been taken into account for estimating electrical output in
first year only.
It has been estimate that Bap, Jodhpur receives 2202
kWh/m2 annual equivalent effective DNI (150 W/m2 ≤ DNI ≥
850 W/m2). Taking in to account the efficiency of the system
(i.e. 24 percent) and the respective value of DNI along with the
simultaneous de-rating factors due to ambient temperature and
prevailing wind speed the annual electrical output of an ISS
parabolic dish-sterling system of 3kW capacity has been
estimated as 6946 Units per year at sterling engine terminal (i.e.
AC terminals of inverter). Multiplying with the number of
dishes (i.e. 334) in 1 MW capacity the aggregate electrical output
per MW module at sterling engine terminals has been estimated
as 2227579.6 (2.22 MU) Units annually at HV end of inverter
considering cut off DNI of 150 W/m2 and maximum DNI
clamped to 850 W/m2.
Further considering the field losses from sterling engine
terminal to HV side of 11/33 kV 16000 kVA transformer, including
losses in cables, 1600 kvA 208 volt / 11 kV transformer etc., at 4
percent, the effective cumulative electrical output has been
estimated as 2.14 MU per MW annually at PH bus bar. Hence the
ISS based solar plant of 10 MW capacities will generate 21.39 MU
sellable units per year.

Interfacing scheme proposed

The power generated from the power plant will be transmitted
through the grid of JdVVNL. JdVVNL operates a high voltage
transmission and distribution network in the Jodhpur,
Rajasthan. It is envisaged that the solar generation plant will be
connected to the 33 kV high voltage network at Bap.
The concentrating solar project size is proposed to be 10
MW. This higher rating solar power plant would feed the
generated power to high voltage electricity grid of state

CHAPTER 6 Financial analysis
Assumptions & estimates

The proposed solar parabolic Dish-Sterling power project is of
10 MW capacity. Estimate cost of the project is Rs. 23.0 crores
per MW. The total project cost is Rs. 230 crores. Gross
aggregate electricity generation has been arrived at 22.27
million kWh per annum at 3 kW sterling engines’ terminals at
the proposed site at Bap, Jodhpur. The plant load factor is
25.42%. There will be losses between Sterling engines and
substation out put, which is estimated at 4% maximum.
Therefore, total annual sellable electricity has been estimated as
21.379 million kWh. There will be deterioration of 0.5% every
year due to the aging of the plant
Project cost break-up & means of finance

Apart from machinery, installation and commissioning cost,
interest during construction, financial institution fees and
margin money for working capital is part of project cost. Project
financial analysis has been carried out considering debt equity
ratio of 70:30. Interest rate at debt part has been considered at
12.5%. The total project cost and means of finance are
summarized in Table 6.1.

months from project approval.
39 Transmission of power and evacuation plan
Proposed electricity tariff

Project will be implemented as IPP (Independent Power
Project) and envisages sale of generated electricity to the grid.
The tariff calculations are at Annexure V.The technical and
financial parameters are also listed therein.The tariff works out
to be at Rs. 19.03/kWhr for the whole project life of 25 years.
This tariff has been considered with 16% post tax return on
equity. The details of the local components (estimation of cost
of electrical & civil works) are attached as Annexure IV(b).
The solar power plants are entitled to CDM benefit. The

Developer shall endeavour for CDM benefit. CDM benefit ,
interalia, depends on non firm/firm nature of supply of power
and is market driven. The generation from this power plant,
which can not have thermal storage and thus will be infirm. On
account of these, it will attract lower CDM credit. Therefore, it
will not be possible to quantify it beforehand. Its certification
also involves cost and time. Developer will share the CDM
benefits as per RERC regulations. It is anticipated the average
CDM credit of 30 paisa/KWh and corresponding reduction in
annual tariff.

Annexure I: Solar Radiation Resource Assessment

for Bap, Jodhpur
It has been estimated that Jodhpur receives 3301 kWh/m2
annual average extraterrestrial solar radiation, which has been
considered for parabolic dish sterling engine power plant at
Bap. Table 1A presents the daily total values of extraterrestrial
solar radiation based on its hourly values. It has been estimated
that the annual average global solar radiation availability on
horizontal surface over Bap, Jodhpur is 2051 kWh/m2; direct
component is 1395 kWh/m2 and diffuse is 656 kWh/m2 on
horizontal surface. The daily total along with the monthly total
and average values of global, diffuse and direct solar radiation
on horizontal surface are presented in Tables 2A to Table 4A
respectively.
Only direct solar radiation is directional and can be reflected
/concentrated using mirrors. Further the direct solar radiation
has been processed using TRNSYS and hourly values of direct
radiation have been estimated over tracking surfaces. Since the
selected technology (i.e. parabolic dish-sterling) comprises two
axis tracking hence the results have been reported under two
axis tracking conditions only. Table 5A presents the daily total
values of direct normal irradiance (DNI) for Bap, Jodhpur. It
has been estimated that the total annual DNI over Jodhpur is
2241 kWh/m2. The DNI has been estimated maximum in the
month of September (270.4 kWh/m2) and minimum in the
month of August (63.4 kWh/m2).
The parabolic Dish-Sterling technology uses only direct
normal incident solar radiation; which is transient and varies
with time. It has been observed that in early morning and late
evening hours the fraction of beam radiation is quite low.
Hence ISS Dish-Sterling technology has low efficiency at low
irradiance levels. For present Infinia Solar System technology
the minimum level of instantaneous direct solar radiation for
power generation is 150 W/m2. Therefore the analysis has been
made considering this aspect also. Table 6A presents the
effective DNI (more than 150 W/m2) over Bap, Jodhpur which
shows that the location receives 2202 kWh/m2 annual effective
DNI. The effective number of sunshine hours has also been
carried out and it has been obtained that Bap, Jodhpur receives
2202 kWh/m2 effective DNI in 3342 effective sunshine hours
(DNI>150 W/m2). The daily total effective sunshine at Bap,
Jodhpur hours are presented in Table 7A.
It has been noticed that the efficiency of ISS parabolic Dish-
Sterling technology reduces when DNI goes above 850 W/m2;
while the electrical output becomes constant. The effective
sunshine hours have also been estimated for DNI more that 850
W/m2. Table 8A presents the effective sunshine hours at more

Annexures
than 850 W/m2 DNI. It has been estimated that during 846
sunshine hours the DNI remains more than 850 W/m2 at
Jodhpur throughout the year.
The overall performance of the selected technology critically
depended on the climatic parameters namely ambient
temperature, prevailing wind speed, etc. The daily average
values of day time ambient temperature of Bap, Jodhpur are
presented in Table 9A; which indicated that the monthly
average temperature varies from 17.6 oC to 34.8oC.
The annual average wind speed has been observed from 0.59
m/s in October to 2.30 m/s in the month of June. The daily
average values of prevailing wind speed have been presented in
Table 10A. The other climatic parameters namely relative
humidity (%) and visibility (km) have also analyzed and their
daily average values are represented in Tables 11A and Table
12A respectively.
