Potential for solar energy is immense in India as it has maximum sunny days throughout the year. The fuel used in a thermal power plant is exhausting at a fast rate and is important to identify alternate source as solar power. India lying in the equator region is at 5th position in solar power generation across the globe. The power extracted from solar radiation has been on rise from the year 2017 and the government remains focused on it by making solar power as major contributor in renewable energy. This manuscript offers a summary of the present situation, status, and the forthcoming challenges of solar energy generation in India. It further emphasizes on completely diverse aspects related with solar energy, steps, and policy decision carry out by the government to satisfy the long run power demand.

The Government

Energy use always increases, especially fossil energy. Through the National Energy Policy, the government continues to strive to increase the role of new and renewable energy sources so as to reduce dependence on fossil energy. Solar power generation is a type of renewable energy generator that capable to convert solar energy to electric energy. The main components of solar power generatios are batteries, solar panels, charger controllers, and inverters.  Solar power generations technology itself is always being developed, such as automatic monitoring and sun tracking systems designed to improve system performance. One of the applications of solar power generations is in the household sector. In this sector consumes 49% of the national electricity energy in 2018. This type of generator is categorized as a roof solar power generations. Based on existing data, there were 1400  roof solar power generations users in September 2019. The development of solar energy utilization for the household sector is very appropriate because it can help achieve renewable energy about 23% in 2025 and 31% in 2050 in the national energy mix.

Solar Energy Utilization

According to the concern of WHO the less association of people in an office may restrict the likelihood of spreading this COVID-19 infection. And it applies to all kinds of organizations. On the other hand, the pharmaceutical companies are working hard to maintain uninterrupted production of vaccine and medicines. This paper focuses on the main layer which is the power system management and its utilization through the less involvement of any individual. Automation and controlling the system remotely can be a good solution. In the design process the FDA proposed structure for the Pharmaceuticals needs to be maintained as well. One of the significant necessities is most of the energy should come from environment friendly system and in Bangladesh sunlight-based energy is the best solution right now. Solar energy utilization efficiency can be increased using the data logging system and machine learning algorithms from that archived data. In this paper, a SCADA operated Off-Grid Solar PV Automation System has been proposed to increase the utilization efficiency. To predict solar power availability over time and perform efficient energy trafficking, the automation system will analyze previous data and perform situational awareness operations for uninterrupted solar power generation. The proposed automation system has been designed focusing on pharmaceutical manufacturing utilities. A comprehensive analysis of the proposed automation system for pharmaceuticals industry applications has also been presented in this paper. The continuous monitoring system for this Off-Grid Solar PV power generating unit preserves multiple data entries, which increases with time and subjected to energy trafficking. And this energy trafficking based on machine learning increases the overall solar energy utilization efficiency.

Humidified Air

In this paper we propose a new system of solar energy power generation with an external fired humidified air turbine (EFHAT). In the EFHAT, the latent heat from the exhausts gas of gas turbine can be utilized to increase ability of humidification of air due to no limitation of dew point temperature with clean humid air. Through absorbing the solar energy, the water from the collector is brought to the saturator to enhance air humidification ability with the latent heat being more utilized in the EFHAT system. Through integration with EFHAT and latent heat utilization based on integration of the fossil and the renewable energy utilization, the performance of the new proposed solar energy utilization system might be superior to traditional solar energy power generation systems. As a result, the thermal efficiency of the solar thermal power generation will be 16∼20%, superior to conventional solar power generation system (generally about 13%); while the latent heat utilization ratio gets about 25∼35%. This will be a new way of solar energy utilization.

Despite coal being one of the major contributors of CO2, it remains a cheap and stable source of electricity. However, several countries have turned to solar energy in their goal to “green” their energy generation. Solar energy has the potential to displace coal with support from natural gas. In this study, an hourly power flow analysis was conducted to understand the potential, limitations, and implications of using solar energy as a driver for decommissioning coal power plants. To ensure the results’ robustness, the study presents a straightforward weather-driven scenario analysis that utilizes historical weather and electricity demand to generate representative scenarios. This approach was tested in Japan’s southernmost region, since it represents a regional grid with high PV penetration and a fleet of coal plants older than 40 years. The results revealed that solar power could decommission 3.5 GW of the 7 GW coal capacity in Kyushu. It was discovered that beyond 12 GW, solar power could not reduce the minimum coal capacity, but it could still reduce coal generation. By increasing the solar capacity from 10 GW to 20 GW and the LNG quota from 10 TWh to 28 TWh, solar and LNG electricty generation could reduce the emissions by 37%, but the cost will increase by 5.6%. Results also show various ways to reduce emissions, making the balance between cost and CO2 a policy decision. The results emphasized that investing in solar power alone will not be enough, and another source of energy is necessary, especially for summer and winter. The weather-driven approach highlighted the importance of weather in the analysis, as it affected the results to varying degrees. The approach, with minor changes, could easily be replicated in other nations or regions provided that historical hourly temperature, irradiance, and demand data are available.
