The off-grid solar power plants in India have developed to a great extent in recent years. Though it is a long story which is associated with its growth altogether. Off-grid power systems or solar panels are those that usually work independently off the grid but work with the support of the different kinds of batteries which can store the solar power that is generated by a system. However, these systems are a huge number of types of equipment which consists of solar panels, batteries, charge controllers, grid boxes, inverters, mounting structures and balance of systems. These panels have the capacity, in general, to store enough sunlight during the day and use the rest of the excess power that is generated at night for further use. So, in this blog, it will be seen how off-grid solar power plants in India have developed at a great pace.
The off-grid solar power plants in Kolkata work with a system which is self-sustaining and can provide power to all those units that can work for providing power to all kinds of critical loads in all areas where power grids are not available at large. These systems are however required to work with specialized pieces of equipment to function, which is mostly found to be s costly.
These kinds of different systems are self-sustaining that can provide power for critical loads in different areas where case if power grids are not available, these specialized pieces of equipment that will be used by the systems to function can be quite costly in terms of their cost. However, in this case, the cost of installation comes to be quite higher. Looking after any ideal alternatives for businesses which are quite helpful in terms of sustaining the entire power capacity sources for a short period without electricity can be quite effective in such a way.
In terms of their applications, it can be found to a great extent that electricity supply in the rural areas of India can work with a better rate of facilitation of power capacity which will be provided by the long-term and independent sources of power. So, in this particular way, electricity generation in the rural areas can be justified in such a kind of way altogether, to all extents.
So, power backups in different areas which have frequent ques from electricity support can be supported altogether. From across places all over India, it is almost reported quite frequently that there are power cuts that usually result from power transmission malfunctions, which can in general hamper any operations from companies and public institutions all around India. So, the off-solar power systems can also provide any kind of economical and viable long-term backup solution which can be quite comfortable addressed to overcome the problems which occur mostly during situations of frequent power cuts and power shortages.
The off-grid power systems mostly use solar power systems in comparison to the Solar Photo Voltaic Panels that convert the sunlight being received from the sun into a form of Direct Current based voltage capacity.
Referring to the programme and initiatives of the Government of India where off-grid Solar PV Application Programme is coming up as one of the major and the oldest ongoing programme which was being worked upon and is currently working in areas to provide the most points that are available and unavailable at any point. In case of the different applications that are always existing at any point of time where the use of solar power in home and lighting systems, where solar street lighting systems, solar power plants, solar pumps, solar lanterns and study lamps are almost covered under this product.
Under the National Solar Mission Plan, there has been a huge target that is being allocated at large. A target of 2000 MWp had been fixed for the off-grid solar-powered cells for use. The on-grid solar power plants in Kolkata are also equally kept under the area of the target.
In the different phases that have been allocated as a part of this mission from a period from around 2010-13 where this particular target of 200 MWp was kept against a designated source of the power of 253 MWp being sanctioned under the lists covered under Phase-II of the plan that was destined since 2013-17. In phase III of the off-grid power development plan where a decentralised solar PV application programme was kept as a part of the target of around d 118 MW as a result of the solar pumps that were installed under a plan of the Government of India.
So, as a whole, the development of solar power grids is a long process that is gradually going through in India.
What are off-grid solar power plants and what is the status of their development in India?
