Introduction
Sakri Photovoltaic solar energy project is a 125 MW solar photovoltaic power plant.
[1]
of Dhule district in Maharashtra, India. It was expected to cost about Rs 20 billion and
became operational in 2013.[2] Completion was in March 2013.[3][4]
KfW, a German financial institution, has agreed to finance the project. [2] Work has
already started on 50 MW (5x25MW) Solar Photovoltaic part while for remaining
100 MW part, based on crystalline technology, international bids have been invited.[5]
The Indian government has given a strong
push to develop the solar energy sector in India
when it launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National
Solar Mission (JNNSM). In that spirit, the
Maharashtra Power Generation Corporation Ltd.
(Mahagenco) completed the construction of a
125 MW solar PV power plant at Shivajinagar,
Sakri, in the Dhule district of Maharashtra. KfW

2.1 Generation Capacity
Total generation capacity is 150MW .Currently it is
generating 125 MW.
Out of this 25*2=50MW is based on thin film technology and
25*3=75MW is based on crystalline technology.
The efficiency of thin film technology is 19% and that of
crystalline technology is 21 %. The angle of inclination of thin
film technology is 18 deg and that of crystalline technology is 21
deg.
One 25MW unit is generating about 1,14,000 units Kwh
per day.
2.2 Panel configuration
In one 25MW unit,on one table there were 14 modules
connected in series to increase the voltage developed . The
rating of one module was 500W .In one unit there were 8
tables.The manufacturer of the module is sharp and shucko
which is a German company.
4. Operation
During standard conditions of 1 kwoer sq.m and 25deg
Celsius it generates 5580-600v D.C this output is given to ABB
Inverter .The ratings of inverter were 630KW,630KW and
315KW .Forced air cooling is used to cool the inverters which are
heated during operation.It was observed that hot air was
released from the top. The inverter produces an output of 355 V
A.C. This output is given to LC filter which filters out the
harmonics giving a power factor of 0.99.The output of inverter
355 V A.C. is given to step up transformer 355v/33kv.This 33kv is
then stepped up to 132kv and this 132kv is then stepped up to
220kv .The power is then fed into the grid at 220kv to state grid
MAHATRANSCO.
5.Inverter
The inverter used is an ABB inverter with ratings of
630KW,630KW,315 KW
5.1 Problems with Inverter
The solar irradiance keep on changing at diferent
times in the day. Due to decrease in irradiance the
output of solar panel decreases,and once it falls below
a certain limit i.e the set value in inverter ,the inverter
will go into sleep mode and at the same time the
breaker will trip and the inverter will stop feeding power
to grid.
7. Conclusion.
Thus the visit to the largest solar plant has
increased our knowledge about the practical aspects of
solar power plant. Thus relating theoretical and
practical knowledge all our concepts of solar technology
are cleared.
