13/NSM dated 26/06/14 or as directed by MNRE, GoI for the grid interactive rooftop and small

SPV power plant from time to time.

1 Brief Description of the System

The main components of the SPV plant are

• PV Modules

• Civil Work.

• Module Mounting Structure

• Array Junction Boxes

• String Monitoring Boxes

• Grid Tie Inverters

• Solar Meter

• Step- up Transformer – LT

• Step- up Transformer – HT

• SCADA / Monitoring System as per predefined parameters for higher capacity plants

• Earth System

• Lightning & Surge Protection

• DC Cables.

• AC Cables.

• Illumination System

• AC Metering and Grid Interconnection System.

This list is of general nature and some of the components may not be required or may be

combined as per the system finally designed.

2. Typical Power Generation Scheme

The system consists mainly of the following:

• Solar PV array – which produces DC electricity when solar rays incident on it

• Power Conditioning Units (PCU) or Inverters – which convert DC (Direct

Current) electricity into AC (Alternating Current) electricity and facilitate

synchronization with the grid power and has all the required protections as mentioned in

the Net Metering Regulations. The copy of the Net Metering Regulations is available on

the website of Himurja i.e. www.himurja.nic.in.

Page 9: Document No. HIMURJA (F-7) / SPV Plant / RTS / 2018-19 ...

• Transformers – which transform the AC output of the Power Conditioning Units to the

level required at the grid

The SPV array (constituting solar PV modules of selected rating connected in series and

parallel combinations to build up the Voltage and Current parameters as per desired design

modalities ) produces DC electricity when Solar insolation is incident on it. The DC power thus

produced is taken through various junction boxes and isolators and connected to the Inverter.

The Inverter houses the inverter circuitry which converts DC power supply into AC

power supply, the synchronization circuitry which actualizes the tie-up of solar PV source to the

grid source and the remote monitoring and control circuitry. A number of Inverters are connected

in parallel as per the desired AC Power required.

Depending on the grid voltage level to which the solar PV power is being synchronized,

different levels of step-up transformers may have to be deployed.

The protection and metering circuits play a very significant role in the Inverter operation.

Appropriate current transformers and potential transformers are used to tap required feed back

signals to initiate action on metering and protection.
