Potential Impact Study of Renewable Energy Resources on Power Transformer

Chapter One Introduction to Topic CHAPTER I 1. 1Introduction India is one(a) of the developing countries & at the same times a fastest rising economy in the world. India along with the BRIC countries is considered as the back bone of the worlds economy. This attraction is parti aloney due to the lower cost of man caper office and good fictitious character fetchings. India is outright the eleventh turgidst economy in the world, quartetteth in terms of purchasing tycoon. It is poised to make tremendous economic strides over the flood tide geezerhood, with signifi laughingstockt increase already in the planning stages. For development of a country, infrastructure plays a vital role.With the opening of the Indian economy in 1990, many multinational / international companies were eager to invest in India. India being the second largest population of the world is the largest market for foreign multinationals. For this reason development of the infrastructure was pick up of the hour for the economy. brawniness development is the key aspect of infrastructure development & demand of the developing economy. Moreover, fulfilling the vitality requirement of ever growing population is herculean task. The infrastructure famine in India is immense & India is fountain stressed.The increasing vibrancy and flexibility of the Indian economy is non matched by the power vault of heaven. India was heavily relied on Conventional might alternatives like thermal zipper. The conventional efficiency development mainly depends on availability of resources like oil, coal, coke etc. Even nuclear power propagation depends on availability of uranium & platinum. Conventional energy times in any case results in higher carbon emission & pollution. Destroying the wastes from the conventional energy multiplication is the major task ahead of the country. Renewable energy Resources give the exceed possible tooth root for this hassle.Renewable energy resources can be d efined as the energy resources which can be replenished, as & when they be consumed e. g. solar, distort, sm all told told hydro power, biogas etc. Knowing the potential of this realise of energy resources, Indian organization established a violate ministry for Renewable energy resources in 2006. Perhaps, India is the only country having separate ministry for renewable energy. Since then renewable energy market is an upcoming market in Indian power sector. With boom in the renewable energy market, there is also a rise in demand for related manufacturing equipment industries.Trans engineerer is one of such equipments demand in power remainss for contagious disease of power. Our propose in this project is to make a Market say-so Impact Study for transformer for renewable energy markets. 1. 2Research methodological analysis The beginning(a) and a very important step in market explore is formulating a look problem. It is the most important stage as if the problem is wrong ly defined the subsequent stages depart be of no good for the purpose for which the research is being conducted, at the same time the problem must not be defined too broadly or too narrowly.In this Project we ar identifying the gap in the organizations portfolio of Transformer Business in India. We suck identified that organization has no presence in the low potential, distribution class transformer markets in India. Looking at the harvest-feast rate of Renewable energy markets and political sciences initiative towards the renewable energy, our main objective is to ascertain its impact on transformer subscriber line. Identifying sources of information There ar two type of information resources employ for the research principal(a) and secondary data sources. crownwork research data Primary research involves getting original data directly about the product and market. Primary research data is data that did not exist before it is designed to answer specific questions of in terest to the furrow. One to one interaction Idea extension of the project is drawn from the one to one interaction with the experienced colleagues and trusted associates. Casual Interviews Casual interviews are the unstructured interviews. Casual interactions with the seniors, discussions with the vendors are one of the sources of old data. BrainstormingBrainstorming is the casual interaction with experts. Experts are allowed to discuss freely on a particular subject. Their newly generated ideas are registered. There may not be any time duration for such sessions. Observations Existing customer enquiries & their feedbacks Many times customer enquiries can give us the data we required. The feedbacks from the lively customers are also laborsaving for idea generation. Secondary research data Secondary data is the pre- existing data, already available through books, previous researches, organizations, government documents, journals, news papers etc. Trade magazines, Journals There are various trade magazines in power sector available. IEEMA (Indian Electrical & Electronics Manufacturers Association), berthline magazines, ITMA (Indian Transformers Manufacturing Association) are whatever of the related associations. These associations are also working on the Renewable force Resources. Newspapers News papers are always giving the updates about the new trends, ideas, research going on more or less the world around. Internet articles, web commits Internet is the huge pool of data available for secondary research.Various search engines like Google, yahoo etc. are useful for finding the relevant data. Websites of various secluded & government PSUs are the sources of data. Websites of PGCIL, IEEMA, ITMA, Wind bureau Associations, Wind mill solution manufacturers, statistical agencies are of immense stand by. Books Books are always the sources of the technical data. Statistics agencies The statistical agencies like India Securities ltd. , which are doing their own research in various industries, are the sources of secondary data. Government resourcesGovernment organizations like PGCIL, SEBs, Ministry of New & Renewable nothing Resources are the sources of data. Manufacturing associations Indian Transformer Manufacturing Association (ITMA), Windmill manufacturing associations are some of the manufacturing associations, which are used as the sources of secondary data. Gathering the existing data & checking its authenticity is an important step in the research design. After the procedure of data congregation information, the data was tabulated and analyzed through graphs & bar charts as discussed in chapter 4 of this report. . 3Objectives To flying field the accredited status of renewable energy market within India. Our study testamenting mainly concentrate on Wind naught & abject Hydro Projects (SHP). To ascertain the market potential for renewable energy up to 2030 & study the strategical locations of renewable en ergy generation within India. Find out the trends in Power sector. To study the specifications & the categories of the transformers required for renewable energy transmission. Establish the relationship in the midst of the volumes of transformer business due to renewable energy market. To study the present organization set-up, this can be utilized for renewable energy transformers. 1. 4Limitations of the study There are following limitations for the research The primary research was limited due to wide spread of consumers. 80% of the transformer business is from the Public utilities, state galvanizingity boards. Most of the sites are in irrelevant places. Hence data collection is time consuming. It is very difficult to get the responses from such wide spread customers in limited time.For this research we mainly concentrated on customer feedbacks & experiences of previous telephonic conversations. The secondary research is mainly concentrated on the data available through gove rnment resources. This is due to the fact that majority of the decision fashioning & forecasting is done at the central government level. As there is increase in Private participation in recent years, there is limited amount of data available for it. 1. 5Conclusion India is developing with the speedy pace it implies heavy investments in infrastructure.Energy generation is the key aspect for the infrastructure festering of the country. With the governments initiative towards clean energy development, Renewable energy sector is booming. Due to Renewable energy development, there is also increase in the orphic participations in power instals implementations. This scenario is conducive for the demand of the transformers required for bittie power projects (private as well as public). In this project we will be concentrating on impact potential study of Renewable energy on power transformers.This will be helpful for the organization for initiating the low power, low voltage, distribu tion transformers business in India. We will ascertain its feasibility in the subsequent chapters starting with the organizations profile.

In an increasingly complex business environment marked by ever-shorter product cycles, the major challenge facing companies is how to organize R&D activities in as centraliseed and success-oriented a manner as possible while simultaneously making o ptimum use of available funds. Rigorous focus on growth markets of the futureSiemens Ten-Point Program was launched at the end of the 1990s to intensify the companys focus on active portfolio management. To this day, Siemens continues to pursue the strategy defined in the program and achieve its growth targets through organic growth powered by the companys innovative strengths, as well as through acquisitions, divestments and the formation of startups and joint ventures. In 2005, Siemens launched the Fit4More program to unless tailor the strategic development of the companys portfolio to the growth markets of the future, thus laying the groundwork for sustainable profitable growth.In addition to defining four pillars Performance and Portfolio, Operational Excellence, People Excellence and Corporate Responsibility the program identified urbanization and demographic change as key megatrends that would drive its business in the future. The companys business portfolio has changed con siderably in the past few years. For example, Siemens withdrew completely from the components business (now Infineon and Epcos). Large parts of its telecommunications technology business were funneled into the joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks in 2006.At the same time, Siemens strengthened its activities in the energy, industry and healthcare fields though extensive acquisitions. In 2006 alone, the company invested more than 6 billion to acquire companies and holdings. The current Fit4 2010 program embodies a rigorous continuation of this strategy, including further portfolio optimization with a focus on the fields of energy and environment, industry and healthcare. Siemens expects to win new orders of around INR 1 trillion in the next common chord fiscal years 2010 until 2012, which will be generated by government stimulus programs already announced around the world.Green technologies are expected to account for 40 percent or approximately INR 400 billion of this add, which wi ll significantly increase the share of the companys revenues from its environmental portfolio in the future. Siemens based this forecast on an sign systematic analysis of the largest stimulus programs. Siemens has continued with its investment plans and focused on strengthening the local manufacturing base. In the last two years, Siemens has added three new factories in Indian energy sector alone. SIEMENS constant focus is to bring world-class and high technology products to India. Chapter ThreeTheoretical modelling CHAPTER III 3. 1Energy Scenario in India Energy is the prime mover of economic growth and is vital to the sustenance of a modern economy. Future economic growth crucially depends on the long-term availability of energy from sources that are inexpensive, accessible and environmentally friendly. India ranks sixth in the world in total energy consumption and needs to accelerate the development of the sector to meet its growth aspirations. The country, though rich in coal and abundantly endowed with renewable energy in the form of solar, wind, hydro and bio-energy has very small hydrocarbon reserves (0. % of the worlds reserve). India, like many other developing countries, is a net importer of energy, more than 25 percent of primary energy needs being met through imports mainly in the form of crude oil and natural gas. The rising oil import bill has been the focus of serious concerns due to the pressure it has placed on scarce foreign exchange resources and is also largely responsible for energy supply shortages. pic India has had a prejudicious Energy Balance for decades, which has forced the purchase of energy from outside the country. Based on available energy resources, energy sector can be separate as followsFew Definitions 1. thermic power generation At a thermal power station in which the electric generators are steam driven. body of irrigate is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser and recycled to where it was heated. The steam can be generated using dodo fuels like Coal / ignite Gas Diesel or Liquid fuel 2. Hydro-Eectric Power Generation It is nothing but using the power of water currents to generate electric power.Generally, hydroelectric power is created by directing water flow through a turbine, where the water causes fans to turn, creating the torque needed to drive an electric generator. pic 3. Nuclear Power The energy released from an atom in nuclear reactions or by radioactive decay esp. the energy released in nuclear fission or nuclear fusion. The radioactive materials like Thorium, uranium are used for energy generation. 4. Wind power It is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form of energy, such as electricity, using wind turbines. Wind power produced about 1. % of worldwide electricity usage12 and is growing rapidly, having doubled in the three years between 2005 and 2008. 5. Geothermal power (from the Greek roots geo, call backing earth, and thermos, meaning heat) It is power extracted from heat stored in the earth. This geothermal energy originates from the original formation of the planet, from radioactive decay of minerals, and from solar energy absorbed at the surface. It has been used for space heating and bathing since ancient roman times, but is now better know for generating electricity.About 10 GW of geothermal electric content is installed around the world as of 2007, generating 0. 3% of global electricity demand. 6. Solar power It is the result of converting sunniness into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrating solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the suns energy to boil water which is then used to provide power. The largest solar power plants, like the 354 MW SEGS, are concentrating solar thermal plants, but recently multi-megawatt photovol taic plants have been built. 7.Wave power is the transport of energy by ocean surface waves, and the capture of that energy to do useful work like electricity generation 8. Tidal power, sometimes called tidal energy, is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power. Although not yet widely used, tidal power has potential for future electricity generation. Tides are more predictable than wind energy and solar power Following chart shows the Indian energy scenario in 2005 & as on August 2008. It also shows the potential of various energy sectors by 2030. picInstalled Capacity, by fuel (as on August 31 2008) Fuel Installed Capacity (kW) Share (%) Thermal 92691. 83 63. 42 Coal & ignite 76646. 50 52. 45 Gas 13560. 52 9. 8 Diesel & liquid fuels 2484. 81 1. 70 Hydro 36399. 80 24. 91 Renewable 12932. 74 8. 85 Wind 9041. 00 6. 9 depressed Hydro 2211. 00 1. 51 Biomss 649. 00 0. 44 Bagasse 973. 00 0. 67 Waste-to-ene rgy 56. 00 0. 4 Solar 2. 74 0. 00 Nuclear 4120. 00 2. 82 aggregate 146144. 37 100. 00 (SourceCEA, Ministry of New & renewable energy. ) Power line magazine- Sept. 008 Since thermal generation is based on burning coal or oil, increases in CO2 emissions, which modify the environment and affect global warming, accompany this growth. As the graph below shows, it also increases the dependence on imports, which will continue into the future unless the policy changes. pic pic Estimates of Potential Capacities from Renewable Energy Sources (in MWs) (Source India Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources) pic Under this project we will be concentrating on the potential of Renewable Energy Resources-Wind Energy & littler Hydro projects in India. 3. arch ENERGY pic 3. 2. 1Wind resource potential The wind power generation in the country is influenced to a great extent by the wind speed and wind power density prevalent at a particular potential location at any given point of time. Th e wind speed is bear on to a large extent by the strong southwesterly monsoons, starting in May-June, and by the weaker northeastern monsoons in the winter months. It has been generally observed that 60-70% of the total wind power generation in the country takes place during June- October when the southwest monsoons are prevalent throughout the country.According to a latest study, locations having an annual mean wind power density greater than 150 watts/ square meter at 30 meter hub height have been found to be desirable for development of wind power projects. 3. 2. 2Advantages of Wind Power It is one of the most environment friendly, clean and safe energy resources. It has the lowest gestation period as compared to conventional energy. Equipment erection and commissioning involve only a few months. There is no fuel consumption, hence low operating be. Maintenance costs are low. The capital cost is comparable with conventional power plants. For a wind farm, the capital cost ranges between 4. 5 crores to 5. 5 crores, depending on the site and the wind electric generator (WEG) selected for installation. Wind Fossil Fuel Availability Usable as it exists Have to be procured and made usable through labored and environmentally damaging processes Limitation on Inexhaustible resource Limited in reserves, expected to be completely availability exhausted in the coming 60 years Transportation Used where it is available or Has to be transported from its source site for transported where needed further processing, exposing the environment to pollution from accidents Environmental nonentity emission Used in producing electricity, releasing green effect of use house gasses Geo-political Reduces our reliance on oil, Over-reliance on oil as a resource has implications safeguarding national security. undermined Indias energy security, e. g.

The whole system is pollution free and environment friendly. The pollution saving from a Wind Energy Generation with an average output of 4,000 kWh per year, savings have been estimated as follows sec dioxide (SO2) 2 to 3. 2 tonnes Nitrogen oxide (NO) 1. 2 to 2. 4 tonnes Carbon dioxide (CO2) 300 to 500 tonnes Particulates 150 to 280 kg. 3. 2. 3The essential requirements for a Wind farm An area where a number of wind electric generators are installed is known as a wind farm. The essential requirements for establishment of a wind farm for optimal ontogenesis of the wind are the following High wind resource at particular site. Adequate land availability Suitable terrain and good soil condition Maintenance access to site Suitable power grid nearby Techno-economic selection of specific turbines Scientifically prepared layout Resource Potential (MW) Installed capacity as on 31st March 2007 (MW) Wind 45000 7092 Small hydro 15000 1975 Biomass power / cogeneration 19500 1184 Solar 4-6 kWh/m2/day 2. 74 (20MW/sq. m) Waste-to-Energy 2700 43 The sum of these renewable resource potentials, 152,000 MW, is greater than the current total installed energy generating capacity of India. 3. 2. 4Estimated Wind Power Potential in India The wind power potential on a national level, base data collected from 10 states considering only 1% of land availability, is around 46,092 MW.

Nedwind, Netherlands 3. 2. 6Economics of wind power development The capital investment generally incurred towards installation of a 1 MW capacity wind farm is to the tune of Rs. 4. 0 crore. to the highest degree 85-87% of the capital investment cost is incurred towards the supply, packaging, handling, loading, transportation, unloading, insurance cover, erection and commissioning of the WEGs. Another 2-3% of the capital cost is incurred towards construction of the foundation of the tower and other associated civil construction units like the metering and control room, foundation for housing the step up transformer etc. Nearly 1-2% of the capital cost is incurred towards purchase of land and site development. The cost of land should be valued to the rates prescribed by the District Level perpetration (DLC) of the concerned state. The remaining 8-12% of the capital cost is incurred towards purchase of electrical equipment like the step up transformer, controls, OHT line connection to the nearest available grid and other electrical accessories. The operation and maintenance cost per annum (inclusive of the insurance coverage) amounts to approximately Rs. 7. 00 lakh. The expected generation of power from the WEGs on an annual basis come to the tune of 2. 5 million KWh after accounting for non operational hours of the machines due to annual repair and maintenance, non availability of cut in wind swiftness or wind velocity being higher than the cut off wind velocity at a particular site. The cost of generation of power is in the vicinity of Rs. 3. 5 / KWh. The power buy back rate varies from state to state. If wheeling is permitted then the power buy back rate can be fairly put on as the commercial rate prevalent in a state. Wind energy generated is connected to the grid as follows pic At the various stages of transmission, transformers are used for stepping-up or stepping down the voltages. pic 3. 3 Small Hydro Power 3. 3. Introduction Hydropower is a renewable, non-polluting and environmentally benign source of energy. It is perhaps the oldest renewable energy technique known to the mankind for mechanical energy conversion as well as electricity generation. Hydropower represents use of water resources towards inflation free energy due to absence seizure of fuel cost with mature technology characterized by highest prime moving efficiency and spectacular operational flexibility. Out of the total power generation installed capacity of 1,48,265 MW (April,2009) in the country, hydro power contributes about 25% i. e. 36,877 MW. 3. 3. 2 Hydro Power Project shed light onification Hydro power projects are generally categorized in two segments i. e. small and large hydro. In India, hydro projects up to 25 MW station capacity have been categorized as Small Hydro Power (SHP) projects. While Ministry of Power, Government of India is responsible for large hydro projects, the mandate for the subject small hydro power (up to 25 MW) is given to Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Small hydro power projects are further classified as Class Station Capacity in kW Micro Hydro Up to 100 Mini Hydro 101 to 2000 Small Hydro 2001 to 25000 3. 3. 3 Small Hydro Power Programme Small Hydro Power ( SHP) Programme is one of the thrust areas of power generation from renewable in the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.It has been recognized that small hydropower projects can play a critical role in improving the over all energy scenario of the country and in particular for remote and inaccessible areas. The Ministry is encouraging development of small hydro projects both in the public as well as private sector. Equal attention is being paid to grid-interactive and decentralized projects. Aim The Ministrys aim is that the SHP installed capacity should be about 7000 MW by the end of 12th Plan. The focus of the SHP programme is to lower the cost of equipment, increase its reliability and set up projects in areas which give the maximum advantage in terms of capacity utilisation. Potential An estimated potential of about 15,000 MW of small hydro power projects exists in India.Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has created a database of potential sites of small hydro and 5,415 potential sites with an aggregate capacity of 14,305. 47 MW for projects up to 25 MW capacity have been identified.

In this direction, the Ministry has been giving financial support to state governments/ agencies for identification of new potential SHP sites & preparation of state perspective plan. 3. 3. 4 Small hydro installed capacity and progress The total installed capacity of small hydro power projects (upto 25 MW) as on 31. 03. 009 is 2429. 77 MW from 674 projects and 188 projects with aggregate capacity of 483. 23 MW are under construction. While in early 90s, most of the SHP projects were set up in the public sector, from last 10 years or so, most of the capacity addition is now coming through private sector projects. Beginning of the 21st century saw near commercialization in the small hydro sector. Private sector entrepreneurs found attractive business opportunities in small hydro and state governments also felt that the private part icipation may be necessary in tapping the full potential of rivers and canals for power generation.The private sector has been attracted by these projects due to their small adoptable capacity matching with their captive requirements or even as affordable investment opportunities. In line with Government of India policy, 18 states have announced their policy for inviting private sector to set up SHP projects. The Government of India announced the electrical energy Act in 2003, Electricity Policy in 2005 and Tariff Policy in 2006 to create a conducive atmosphere for investments in the power sector. Small hydropower projects are now governed by these policies and the tariff is decided by the State Electricity Regulatory Commissions (SERCs) as per the Tariff Policy. During the 10th Plan, Following have been year-wise capacity addition from SHP projects.
