Due to the decrease in fossil fuels and causing environmental pollution, the importance of electrical energy production from renewable energy has increased in recent years. Accordingly, the number of wind and solar power plants established in the world and in our country is gradually increasing. Our country has a very productive position in terms of solar energy. Therefore, many studies are carried out in this area. In this study, 10 solar power plants were designed and analyzed using monocrystalline panels with an installed power of 10 MW and polycrystalline panels with an installed capacity of 9,999 MW in 5 districts of Sivas. The panels used are designed as a fixed inclined system, the panel inclination angle is 35° and the azimuth angle is 0°. In the design of the monocrystalline system, 34.482 panels of 290 Watt and 148 inverters of 72 kW were used. The panels are connected in 21 series and 1.642 in parallel. The total area of the modules is 56.440 m2. In the design of the polycrystalline system, 34.480 panels of 290 Watt and 148 inverters of 72 kW were used. The panels are connected in 20 series and 1.724 in parallel. The total area of the modules is 66.161 m2. Monocrystalline panels of Trina Solar brand and polycrystalline panels of Canadian Solar company were chosen for the system design, and inverters of Kaco New Energy brand were chosen for the inverter. The power plants are designed as connected to the grid. PVsyst program was used for the design and analysis of solar power plants. Establishment of power plants without a bank loan and with a bank loan has been examined. As a result of the analysis made without using bank loans, the shortest repayment period was observed in the power plants established with polycrystalline panels in Divriği and Yıldızeli districts with 4,5 years. The longest payback period was 6,3 years in the power plant established with monocrystalline panels in Zara district. It has been determined that the power plants installed with monocrystalline panels in the central district and Yıldızeli district have the highest performance rate. The lowest performance rate was in the power plant established with polycrystalline panels in Gürün district. The lowest unit cost is 0,04443 $/kWh in the power plant established in Divriği district without a loan with polycrystalline panels, while the highest unit cost is 0,06159 $/kWh in the power plant established in Zara district with a loan with monocrystalline panels. As a result of the studies carried out, the annual electricity generated is the highest in Gürün district and at least in Zara district. As a result of the economic analysis, the highest profit is in Divriği district for monocrystalline panels and in Yıldızeli district for polycrystalline panels. It is thought that the findings obtained from this study will be useful for the solar power plants to be established in Sivas province and its districts.

Imagination and Analysis of Solar Power Plant over the Area of Yamuna River in Delhi

This article presents an imagination and analysis of a solar power plant over the waste area of the Yamuna River in Delhi. Delhi is the capital of largest democracy in the world, this city has population approx 19 million [1] and pollution is one of the major problems of Delhi, so solar energy power plant is a good idea for this national capital city of India but this is national capital city and huge population reside in this city, so this city has lack of land resource. But Delhi has a river Yamuna. The total length of River Yamuna in the NCR region is 48 km, of which 22 km lies in main capital and the rest falls in the National Capital Region. So, a solar power plant can be established over the river by building pillars in the river and making a structure over these pillars and then solar panels can be installed over these structures. The flow of the river can be also maintained in this project. The whole 22 km open area can be used to set up a solar power plant, and this will produce at least 5 Megawatt electricity. This is the clean energy so it will reduce pollution and will fulfill the energy need of this city, this area is already waste (can’t be utilized for other purposes) and today, India has the technical capability to establish this kind of project.

Pythagorean fuzzy engineering economic analysis of solar power plants

The total world energy consumption is rising, and the alternative energy sources are sought to meet this demand. Renewable energy sources have distinctive features that make these sources environmental friendly and increase their share in total energy supply. Renewable energies, which are inexhaustible and renew themselves, are predicted to be the primary energy source for the future. The sun, which is the most important renewable energy source and the source of other energies, is also used for direct and indirect energy generation. In order to realize investments in solar energy systems that require high initial investment, their economic suitability must be assessed appropriately. Life cycle cost (LCC) and levelized cost of energy (LCOE) methods are widely used in economic evaluation and comparison of the large-scale solar energy system. Yet, solar energy investment decisions involve uncertainty and imprecision due to the vagueness in production levels and energy prices. An ample economic analysis should be able to evaluate the uncertainty and consider the dynamic costs and benefits. Pythagorean fuzzy sets are excellent tools for dealing with uncertainty and imprecision inherent in a system. In this study, the Pythagorean fuzzy set theory is applied so that the uncertainties and the opinions of the decision makers are more realistically incorporated into the economic analysis. The proposed Pythagorean LCC and LCOE methods enable dealing with the solar energy investments with fuzzy parameters. Alternative energy systems with different technological features and economic conditions can be more accurately compared using the proposed method.

Technoeconomic Evaluation of Solar Thermal Power Generation in India

We report a study of techno economic evaluation of solar thermal power generation in India. Generation of quality and useful thermal energy by Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is an advancement that uses direct daylight to solar thermal concentrating systems for power generation. A solar parabolic trough plant located in Jodhpur, India is selected for the sensitivity analysis of solar power plants and solar parabolic troughs along with the total solar radiation data. In this work we have studied the cost of connectivity to the grid, Internal Rate of Return (IRR) calculations and Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE). We observed that a small change in the percentage of power blocks causes significant changes in the capital cost, LCOE, IRR, loan rate and which eventually affecting the final tariff of the plant. In the present study, we have identified important parameters, which are required for the commissioning of the CSP plants in India. The primary reason for this study is to analyze the best accessible technology from the available technologies. The technologies should also encounter diverse market necessities such as centralized versus decentralized applications or global versus regional/local scope.

The city of Aswan, located at the south of Egypt, is characterized by a very high level of solar density. The Solar Power Plant (SPT) technology using the Concentrated Solar Power Plant (CSP) is expected to soon enter the renewable energy field in Egypt. Fortunately, considerable amount of informat ion about the PS10, which is a co mmercial SPT of power 11 MW are availab le for performing considerable attractive analysis . A co mparative performance analysis is developed between the existing PS10 in Sanlucar la Mayor- Spain, and a modified one of similar specifications located in Aswan. In this study, the PS10 So lar Po wer Tower systems (SPT) design-layout is revised to suit the solar data in Aswan. Accordingly, the location of each heliostat is reviewed, analysed and modified. The solar irradiance model and sunshine duration (solar hours) of the existing plant in Spain are co mpared to those in Aswan. The study includes optical and geometric analysis of both SPTs. The annual average efficiency and SPT performance values in the existing and intended power stations are compared. Su itable mod ifications are introduced in the SP10 to fit the conditions in Aswan according to the innovated field of the heliostats. The main objective of this study is to find the relative advantage of installation of the CSPs in Aswan compared to the other locations in the world. The innovated model of PS10 in Aswan is believed to be more pro mising than that of the original one in Spain.
