INSTALLATION OF 15 kWP HYBRID (Off-grid and On-grid) SOLAR PV POWER PLANT
A 15 KW hybrid Solar photovoltaic (SPV) power plant has been installed at the rooftop of the Academic Building of Assam Science and Technology University under AICTE GAINER. It aims to generate electricity with the utilization of bifacial monocrystalline solar modules with power rating of 580W (or above). Moreover, a 20 KW hybrid inverter is used. Utilization of these items would definitely enhance the flexibility, energy management and overall sustainability of the plant. The proposed roof has sufficient surface area for installation of the required number of panels (~226.60 sq.m). This initiative will resolve the energy shortage problem in the campus, reduce the dependency on conventional electric supply and contribute towards saving of monthly electricity bill of the university. The project would further reduce the dependency on diesel generator (DG) sets & UPS for power supply; which are used when grid connected electricity supply is not available. Besides, M.Tech (Energy Engineering) students will get practical experience of working with Solar PV power plant. The classrooms, research laboratories, lecture halls, computer centre and selected devices in the department are connected to the proposed Solar PV based power generated systems. These initiatives have further enriched the teaching-learning process in the technical institution.

The Grid Interactive Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation Units are producing renewable energy by converting sunshine incident upon the solar panels on the roofs to electrical energy which is being consumed in the university itself and/or supplied to the grid during daytime sunshine hours. The electrical energy thus supplied to the grid is credited in the APDCL account of the university through a net metering system. This is also contributing to the amount of renewable energy generation in the State to meet the minimum requirement as per mandate of the Ministry of New & Renewable Energy, Government of India.
