Hydro Power

---

Hydroelectric power (hydro) is classed as a renewable energy due to the fact that it relies on the Earth’s natural water cycle's kinetic energy to generate electricity. With its 90% efficiency in converting the kinetic energy to electricity, and the fact that no fuels are burnt and no direct emissions are released into the atmosphere, it is often considered as a very clean form of electricity generation.

There are three types of hydropower facilities: impoundment, diversion, and pumped storage. Some hydropower plants use dams and some do not. The images below show both types of hydropower plants.

IMPOUNDMENT

The most common type of hydroelectric power plant is an impoundment facility. An impoundment facility, typically a large hydropower system, uses a dam to store river water in a reservoir. Water released from the reservoir flows through a turbine, spinning it, which in turn activates a generator to produce electricity. The water may be released either to meet changing electricity needs or to maintain a constant reservoir level.

DIVERSION

A diversion, sometimes called run-of-river, facility channels a portion of a river through a canal or penstock. It may not require the use of a dam.

PUMPED STORAGE

Another type of hydropower called pumped storage works like a battery, storing the electricity generated by other power sources like solar, wind, and nuclear for later use. It stores energy by pumping water uphill to a reservoir at higher elevation from a second reservoir at a lower elevation. When the demand for electricity is low, a pumped storage facility stores energy by pumping water from a lower reservoir to an upper reservoir. During periods of high electrical demand, the water is released back to the lower reservoir and turns a turbine, generating electricity.
For hydropower developments to be successful and sustainable, it’s vital to identify, understand and manage the potential risks at every stage of the asset lifecycle.
For more than a century, hydropower developments around the world have been growing and greening the world’s electricity supplies by generating clean, reliable and cost-effective power from water. 

Wind Power

---

Wind energy (or wind power) describes the process by which wind is used to generate electricity. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy in the wind into mechanical power. A generator can convert mechanical power into electricity. Mechanical power can also be utilized directly for specific tasks such as pumping water. Wind is caused by the uneven heating of the atmosphere by the sun, variations in the earth's surface, and rotation of the earth. Mountains, bodies of water, and vegetation all influence wind flow patterns. Wind turbines convert the energy in wind to electricity by rotating propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor turns the drive shaft, which turns an electric generator. Three key factors affect the amount of energy a turbine can harness from the wind: wind speed, air density, and swept area.

Wind Farm Development

Siting a wind farm varies from one location to another, but there are some important matters for land owners to consider:
Understand your wind resource
Evaluate distance from existing transmission lines
Determine benefits of and barriers to allowing your land to be developed
Establish access to capital
Identify reliable power purchaser or market
Address siting and project feasibility considerations
Understand wind energy’s economics
Obtain zoning and permitting expertise
Establish dialogue with turbine manufacturers and project developers
Secure agreement to meet O&M needs

Necessary Services to Avail

Wind power project or WPP involves development through own resources and manpower or by availing the technical services from consultant organisations:

SITE IDENTIFICATION: The process starts with regional overviews and precision GIS mapping, through which the specific opportunities are determined at a feasible site. This also involves mapping of project boundaries, turbine micro-siting and optimisation.
WIND RESOURCE ASSESSMENT: Accurate Wind Resource Assessment of a widely variable resource is the most critical feature for success of a WPP. Meso-Scale and then Micro-Scale Wind Power Density/Wind Speed Map is produced for the site location through input of accurate contour/terrain data. Ideal spot is selected to install Anemometry System. The recorded wind data is critically analyzed and formatted to represent wind characteristics. A preliminary wind resource assessment can be carried out by using the freely available Global Wind Atlas.
MICRO-SITING & ENERGY ESTIMATION: This constitutes the foundation of a Wind Power Project. Wind Resource data is formatted in terms of Speed and direction. The characteristic power of selected Wind Electric Generator (WEG) is formatted. Detailed Contour data at close interval is prepared indicating roughness and terrain features. WEG layout is optimised and Micro-siting Map is prepared using software and then estimated is energy generation.
DETAILED PROJECT REPORT: Once the site, make and rating of WEG and the selling option are finalized, detailed survey and field study is conducted. Comprehensive layout design is prepared with optimization of generation along with detailed design for approach road and grid evacuation. Detailed costing and financial analysis is carried out to establish overall viability.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT: Implementation and Management of Wind power project, WPP, calls for Multi-disciplinary activities related to Technical, Financial and Commercial aspects. Not only quality of works needs to be checked, it is equally important to ensure close co-ordination and monitoring for timely commissioning.
MONITORING: Energy generation with respect to wind resource, frequency and type of machine and system failures needs to be critically monitored and analyzed to optimize generation. Income from WPP can be optimized only if break down and failure of WEG and evacuation system is avoided particularly during the limited high wind months.
PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT: For the existing Wind Power projects also there is often need to ensure its performance improvement, which goes down with time. Critical analysis of monitoring reports along with on-site observations and in depth study immensely help in performance improvement through reduction in break-down time and interval losses. Due to seasonal availability of wind resource, generation increasing in cubic proportion of wind speed and overall low Plant Load Factor, parameter setting and operational/control logic needs to be site specific.
LENDER'S ENGINEERS: To meet the need of expert engineers to serve a project especially for a definite term or contract, where the task may not be managed with the available resources, the clients are provided Lenders Engineer’s services as per the requirements assessed mutually with the client. This involves serving through deputing or appointing suitable personnel and thus meeting the need of the project at a given point of time of various technical types.

Land Requirements

The amount of land required for a wind farm varies considerably, and is particularly dependent on two key factors: the desired size of the wind farm (which can be defined either by installed capacity or the number of turbines) and the characteristics of the local terrain[14]. Typically, wind turbine spacing is determined by the rotor diameter and local wind conditions. Some estimates suggest spacing turbines between 5 and 10 rotor diameters apart. If prevailing winds are generally from the same direction, turbines may be installed 3 or 4 rotor diameters apart (in the direction perpendicular to the prevailing winds); under multi-directional wind conditions, spacing of between 5 and 7 rotor diameters is recommended.

Solar Power

Utility-scale solar photovoltaic technologies

Convert energy from sunlight directly into electricity, using large arrays of solar panels. Solar photovoltaic technologies convert solar energy into useful energy forms by directly absorbing solar photons—particles of light that act as individual units of energy—and converting part of the energy to electricity.

Components of a Utility Scale solar power plant:
The utility scale solar power plant can be split in to DC and AC systems which include the following electrical components.
Various Components in

The DC system includes:
• Arrays of photovoltaic (PV) modules
• Inverters • DC cabling (module, string and main cable) • DC connectors (plugs and sockets) • Junction boxes/combiners • Disconnects/switches • Protection devices • Earthing

The AC system includes: • AC cabling • ACDB • Metering Equipment • Earthing and surge protection

Types of Solar PV Cells
In terms of the solar technology used, there are 3 main types of solar PV cells available. All 3 are built out of silicon and each has its advantages and disadvantages. An experienced installer will be able to help you choose which technology is best for your home and answer any questions you may have.

Mono-crystalline solar PV cells are produced from a single crystal of silicon (grown from highly pure molten silicon). This crystal is then cut into thin wafers between 0.2mm and 0.3mm thick, which then form the basis of the solar PV cell. These solar PV cells are the most efficient, however, they also tend to be the most expensive to produce. They are rigid and are mounted in a rigid frame for protection.


Polycrystalline solar PV cells are made from a slice cut from a block of silicon, but unlike mono-crystalline solar PV cells, polycrystalline solar PV cells contain multiple silicon crystals. This gives them a blue marbled appearance (rather than the much darker color of mono-crystalline solar PV cells). Polycrystalline solar PV cells are slightly less efficient than mono-crystalline cells; however, they are also less expensive to produce .These solar PV cells also need to be stored in a rigid protective frame.


Amorphous or Thin Film Solar PV Cells Amorphous solar PV cells are a type of ‘thin film solar cells’ and are made from a thin film of amorphous (non-crystalline) silicon. This can be placed on a wide range of different surfaces and, because the amorphous silicon layer is flexible, if placed on a flexible surface, then the whole solar PV cell can be flexible. These panels are the least expensive to produce but are also the least efficient. When buying amorphous solar PV cells, you should be aware that a characteristic of this type of solar PV cell is that the power output decreases over time – typically the largest decrease is in the first few months, after which the power output stabilizes. This means that the quoted power output of amorphous solar PV cells should always refer to the maximum power after this stabilization.

Waste to Energy Power
