Establishment of Grid Connected Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant on Rooftop of CSIR- Staff Quarter Building - Scientific and Industrial Research Scientist Apartment (SIRSA)
This paper highlights the recenttrends followed by CSIR- Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute (CGCRI) in establishing Solar Photo-Voltaic Power Plants. This work is aimed at meeting up the conventional energy scarcity at CSIR-CGCRI, SIRSA Campus and developing clean/green energy in order to compensate the global challenges of energy scarcity, climate change and renewable energy development.Abiding by the scheme of Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) under the aegis ofMinistry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE), CSIR-CGCRI has implemented Solar Roof-top Grid connected Power Plant at SIRSA Residential staff quarter since February 2014 with the capacity of 37.5KWp (as per agreement). From September 2017, CSIR-CGCRI hasfurther enhanced the capacity to 100.5KWp (as per agreement). Results revealed that there is a stable growth of solar power energy generation. Keeping this in mind, the work pertains to the basic objectives of achieving reduction in carbon food printin line with clean energy generation which leads to reduction in air-pollution and global warmingand at the same time conservation of conventional resources, which is getting reduced day-by-day.Nevertheless, the solar energy generated would eventually lessen the amount of energy purchased from the local Distribution Company (DISCOM) which would benefit our organisation economically.
