ExecutiveSummary

Sunrise in Gujarat

The solar sector in India is very nascent. Supported by the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM)

and the state of Gujarat since 2009, the sector has grown tremendously. The learning curve for the stake-

holders in the sector has been steep and there is now a greater understanding about the solar technologies,

design, operation and maintenance among others.

However, solar resource assessment is one area where there is still lot of uncertainty. While lot of satellite

measured data is available, there is not enough long term ground measured data. Due to the lack of reliable

long term data, predicting the yield with high level of accuracy has been quite difficult.

The good news is that the Centre for Wind Energy Technology(C-WET) had set up 51 weather monitoring sta-

tions mainly in West and South India, and the data is now available for more than a year. More importantly,

many of the plants commissioned under the Gujarat policy are now operational for more than a year and the

energy generation data for every month is available.

In this whitepaper, we have analysed the performance of all the operational plants in Gujarat and have

ranked them based on their energy generation. Since the solar plants were commissioned at different time

periods, we have grouped these plants into four different categories in order to account for the seasonal

variations and the initial ramp up of the plants. The groups are – plants operational for at least one year, for

ten months, for nine months and less than nine months. A ranking of solar plants in Charanka solar park has

also been done separately.

We were curious to find the correlation between the yield and the configuration (type of module – c-Si vs.

Thin Films, type of inverter – Central vs. String, etc.) of a plant. But since we did not have enough reliable

data, we have done a preliminary analysis of the market shares of the modules and inverters used in the

plants for which we have data. The market share analysis is built upon the work done by Mr. Jigneshbhai Shah

and M/s Movya Consultancy Pvt. Ltd, Ahmedabad, India.

We plan to update this whitepaper as and when we have access to more reliable and insightful information.

Sunrise in Gujarat

The growth of Solar in India is well known. From less than 20 MW in early 2010 to more than 1100 MW at the end of 2012, the sector has grown tremendously. With abun-dant solar resource and a huge power deficit, India will rely more on solar in the future.

While the country’s flagship solar programme, the Jawa-

harlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) played a critical role in the deployment of solar in India, the state of Gujarat’s contribution has been even more. Of the 1000+ MW installed in the country during the period 2010 to 2012, more than 70% of the projects have been commissioned under the Gujarat state policy.

Gujarat is no doubt the forerunner when it comes to adoption of renewable energy technologies in the coun-try. The biggest factor which has contributed to the suc-cess of the uptake of renewable energy in the state is the financial health of the state electricity board. With mounting losses of close to Rs. 2200 Crores posted in 2000-01, the Gujarat State Electricity Board (GSEB) made a dramatic turnaround through debt restructuring and reduction of Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses. This resulted in the GSEB posting a profit of about Rs. 200 Crores in 2005-06. The result is readily obvious – Gujarat is now a power surplus state with one of the low-est electricity tariff in the country; all due to the efforts undertaken to strengthen the GSEB.

The total installed capacity in the states stands at 21,060.63 MW(as of 28 February 2013) with plans afoot to extend the installed capacity base past 30,000 MW in the near future. Thermal power accounts for close to 82% of the total installed capacity base with renewables ac-counting for the remaining 18%. Ranking second when it comes to wind energy (3,008.6 MW installed capacity) in the country, Gujarat is the undisputed leader when it comes to solar power with an installed capacity base of 823.9 MW. It is interesting to note that the solar capacity additions in the state are purely a result of the state’s so-lar policy rather than other policies such as the JNNSM.

Gujarat policy update

Sunrise in Gujarat

Gujarat, along with Rajasthan, has one of the highest so-lar irradiations in the country. Gujarat signed Power Pur-chase Agreements (PPAs) towards a total 968.5 MW of in-stalled capacity towards end of 2010 and early 2011. The

Gujarat has 26 districts as of 28 February 2013 . The map below gives an overview of the districts in Gujarat.

full list of project developers is available in Annexure A.

As of 31 December 2012, 75 projects totalling 824 MW were commissioned and operational. The complete list of projects is enclosed in Annexure B.

From the table above, it can be observed that the district

Patan has the highest number of projects and total in-

stalled capacity. In fact, the top 3 districts – Patan, Suren-

dranagar and Kutch – together account for 70% of the

total installed capacity.

One reason for the high installed capacity in the district

Patan is that it has world’s first multi-developer solar park

in Charanka Village.

In fact, Gujarat pioneered this concept of multi-develop-

er, multi-facility, multi-technology and multi-beneficiary

solar park in India.


The 75 operational projects are spread across 15 districts in Gujarat. The breakdown is given below.

60% of the land in the park was government land and the Gujarat Power Corporation Limited (GPCL) developed the park. GPCL provided the critical infrastructure like

• Access roads

• Evacuation infrastructure including substations

• Auxiliary Power distribution network

• Communicaiton network(telecom towers, broadband,etc)

• Safety Towers, fencing, etc

• Environmental protection facilities like Sewage treat-ment plants, Green belt/buffer zone, water facilities for cleaning and irrigation demand

• Landscaping, etc

The total area available can be used to set up solar plants of a total 500 MW capacity. Of this, 214 MW has been installed by 21 developers. (As of 19 April 2012 – Source: GPCL)


Charanka Solar Park

The Charanka Solar park is spread over about 2000 Hect-ares in the wastelands of the Rann of Kutch. The Rann of Kutch is a salt marsh at the edge of Thar Desert, and it borders Pakistan. The location is well connected by road and rail. The nearest national highway – NH 15 is about

20 km away and the nearest railway station is about 30 km away.

It is also quite close to the sea and the nearest sea port, Kandla, is about 180 km away. The other ports like Pipava, Porbandar and Mundra.

The below sections aim to quantify the performance of the solar power plants set up in the state of Gujarat. For the purposes of evaluation, the generation data available from the Gujarat State Load Dispatch Centre (SLDC) has been used. Ranking of the power plants has been done on the basis of the Plant Load Factor (PLF) or Capacity Utilization Factor (CUF). CUF is calculated as the ratio of actual energy generated (for a given period of time) to

Most plants in operation for a period of one year exhibit CUFs which are in line with what was expected of the regulations. Initially, the policy called for an average CUF in the line of 18% across a year of operation. A vast ma-

the maximum (theoretical) possible generation of a pow-er system. The formula for CUF is given below.

Capacity Utilisation Factor (CUF) =Energy measured (kWh) / (365*24*installed capacity of the plant).

Since the CUF calculation is time dependent (hours of operation), the power plants considered here have been categorized based on the time operation.

jority of the plants (for which the data is available) fulfil this criterion. The plant which ranks first in the list has an estimated CUF of 20.79%.

Projects which have been operational for 10 months are mostly clustered in the Charanka solar park. The advan-tage of measuring performance in the Charanka solar park is that most of the variable factors affecting plant per-formance are eliminated such as irradiation conditions, evacuation variability etc. As a result, most of the power plants in the Charanka solar park (highlighted in yellow) have similar CUF hovering between 17% and 18%.

assume it might be due to a multitude of reasons includ-ing grid unavailability, plant downtime etc.

The outliers, in Charanka’s case at least, are AES Solar En-ergy’s and Lanco’s projects with CUF of 13.6% and 12.53% respectively. Since most of the variables are similar in the case of Charanka, this can be jotted down only to compo-nent choice and hence component specific performance which affects the performance of the power plant as a whole.

Figure 5 - Seasonal Performance for Plants operational for at least 1 year


The seasonal variation graph represented below has been

rendered using data from power plants which have com-

pleted one year of operation. All numbers in the graph

have been normalized to the total MWh generated per

MW of installed capacity.

The plant with the best performance characteristics, M/s

Konark Gujarat Pvt Ltd, had a peak monthly production

of 198 MWh/MWp in March. Though this is not a charac-

teristic of all the plants in the sample set, a vast major-

ity had peak production that fell in one of three months

– March, April or May. The highest individual peak gen-

eration recorded was 216.38 MWh/MWp by M/s Back-

bone Enterprises Ltd in the month of May but the annual

production of this plant was lower than the top ranking

power plant.

The lowest generation is merely presented here to pro-

vide a representation of the lowest performance and

should not be treated as the general performance of

power plants in Gujarat. It can be clearly seen that the av-

erage performance closely follows the generation charac-

teristic of the best performing power plant in the sample

set. The average annual performance is estimated to be

1573.33 MWh/MWp.

Seasonal Characteristics – Charanka

The seasonal variation for plants in Charanka is present-ed below. Please note that the entire year of operations is not covered as the data set available is only for ten months of operation. Further, all the power plants rep-resented in the data set where commissioned in March 2012. One of the plants, Yantra eSolar India Pvt. Ltd has been excluded from the analysis because it was commis-sioned in October 2012 and data for only 3 months were available.

The performance of the highest rated power plant can be taken as representative of the performance of all the power plants in the Charanka solar park as the difference between the average value and the highest generation is minimal. Peak power output from the solar park was produced in the month of May as opposed to the three month spread seen in the above scenario. Additionally, a secondary peak is seen in the month of October which is

slightly lower than the production numbers in May. The best performing power plant, M/s NKG Infrastructure Ltd, had a peak generation of 166.23 MWh/MWp in the month of May while the highest recorded generation for a given month is 176.85 MWh/MWp also generated in the month of May by M/s Roha Dyechem(India) Pvt Ltd.

Interestingly, though the plant with the lowest CUF(M/s Lanco Infratech Ltd) produced significantly lower output in the first few months of operation, the yield caught up during the latter part of the year indicating that the plant was experiencing teething issues. It is likely that when the data for the next year is compiled, the lowest per-formance numbers would be more in line with the aver-age and that the degree of variation between the highest and lowest numbers would be minimal. The average yield for the ten month period is estimated to be 1279 MWh/MWp.

Analysis of PV configuration

Sunrise in Gujarat

Gujarat has been a test-bed for several solar technolo-gies and configurations. In this section, we look at the preliminary breakup of the different modules and invert-ers used. The analysis is built upon the work done by Mr. Jigneshbhai Shah and M/s Movya Consultancy Pvt. Ltd,

The Gujarat solar policy was the first state solar policy to be enforced in the country. The state policy is purely aimed at solar capacity addition. With this in mind, the developers were not pigeonholed into a particular tech-nology choice and were free to choose any technology they saw fit, provided the technology chosen was proven

Ahmedabad . Since the information is not available for all the plants, we have done the analysis for those plants where we have enough relevant information.

and time tested. Since the Gujarat solar policy did not im-pose any domestic content requirements (DCR) as it has been under Phase 1 of the JNNSM, we see an (almost) equal split between c-Si and thin film technologies with the end result being slightly in favour of c-Si.

Modules used

Amongst the various available thin film technolo-gies, CdTe based modules command a significant percentage of the share driven primarily through developers opting for First Solar’s modules. This is because these modules bring along with them the added benefit of low interest rate financing from EXIM bank of USA since the modules are manufactured in the USA. This could also be the reason that First Solar ranks as the largest supplier of modules in the module supplier mix for power plants in

Gujarat (for which data is available) with a market share of about 32%.

CIGS/CIS based modules have been gaining ground in In-dia but hold a very small percentage of the share of the market with Solar Frontier emerging as the leader in this space with their high performance CIS based modules.

Figure 8 - Share of module manufacturers

Figure 9 - Share of Inverter manufacturers


On the inverter, SMA is the clear leader in the segment with over 50% of the market share for the plants for which data is available. The most likely explanation for this is that SMA had an early mover advantage leveraged through their high brand equity and bankability. Since most of the power plants came into operation over two years ago when the solar segment was very nascent, brand equity played a major rule in the decision making process and with SMA being the global

leader in the inverter segment, most developers opted to go for their inverters. Power One is second in the listing closely mirroring the global inverter market scenario.

Siemens, which announced that it would be exiting the solar business earlier this year, is the third largest supplier with a market share of about 7%.

Conclusion

Sunrise in Gujarat

The initial analysis of plant performance data in Gujarat is heartening. The data shows with enough clarity that solar power plants in India can be expected to perform to the levels that are usually outlined in the various Request for Proposal(RfP) documents chiefly with regards to the expected CUF levels. While it was initially thought by many that the CUF levels of 18% might be hard to achieve, the ground performance data for the power plants in Gujarat suggest that the CUF of most power plants in operation are clustered around the 18% mark with some power plants even operating higher at about 20% CUF. If this performance of more than 18% CUF can be repeated every year, one of the uncertainties – solar irradiation assessment – will be reduced.

The Charanka solar park performance data is also quite revealing with some of the higher capacity power plants (20 MW+) operating at 18%+ CUF levels. The Charanka solar park highlights the importance of the presence of proper evacuation infrastructure and the positive influence it brings into the operation of a power plant and its availability. In addition to this, with most of the variables associated with solar power eliminated due to all the plants being pres-ent in the same location (such as solar irradiation characteristics etc.), the park clearly highlights that differences in technology selection may have only a marginal impact on the performance of the power plant provided high quality components are used along with employment of sound design and constructional practices.

The performance of the power plants in Gujarat acts as a fool proof test case that shows that the Indian solar sector is globally competitive both in terms of conceptualization as well as execution provided the policy and regulatory frame-work along with the infrastructure to support the power plants are in place. The success story of solar in Gujarat owes a lot to the financial health of the state utilities and the regulatory support that goes along with it and serves a good blueprint for other states to emulate.
