The 100-MW floating solar photovoltaic facility at NTPC Ramagundam in Telangana has been successfully commissioned, according to state-run engineering company Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL).
According to a corporate statement, the facility is situated across a natural raw water reservoir, preserving important land resources and preventing water from evaporating.
The plant will ensure that the aquatic ecosystem is maintained while producing clean power, with innovatively engineered layouts and arrangements for the solar photovoltaic (PV) modules, electricals and floaters, the statement said.
All major components of the solar plant — solar PV modules, floaters, biodegradable natural ester oil filled inverter-duty transformers, switchgear, SCADA and cables are indigenous, contributing to the government’s ‘Make in India’ mission.
