Abstract:
Six solar power plants on a canal are considered. 2.88-4.32 MW power is generated at each
of the canal solar power plant at 3.3kV and power from all the six solar power plants is
evacuated at the main receiving substation among them. The power is generated at 3.3kV
voltage level and collected at 11kV at the main receiving substation. Further the received
power at 11kV is stepped up to 66kV using switch yard and then dumped into the state grid.
The process of collecting the power and dumping it into the desired load center is known as
power evacuation. Cable is taken of 11kV and substation will be of 11/66kV.
The power flow simulation for this non-conventional energy power plant is done using
ETAP software. The simulation is done in order to find the power generation losses, power
availability, reliability, tentative cost and efficiency.
