Technology Used :

• Mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a receiver.
• Generate electricity using Steam Generator to rotate Turbine.

Description of Idea :

• Increasing rate of Electricity Bills.
• Lack of Fossil Fuels causing increase in various material like petroleum .
• To store Solar Energy in the form thermal energy.
• To protect biodiversity which is affected by hydro power plant.

Problem Statement and its Solution

Problem Statement

• Lack of fossils fuels like coal, petroleum, etc.

​

• Electricity Shortage

​

• Polluting land, rivers, canals and also causing health problems due to sewage water.

​

• Solar panels are expensive and can not be recycled after a long time of used.

​

• Smoke from thermal plant cause various air pollution and health problem.

​

• Renewable energy (No requirements of fossils fuel)

​

• 24 hours availability of electricity.

​

• Using sewage water which reduce land pollution, rivers, canals, and various health problem.

​

• Replacing solar panels with mirrors.

​

• Zero emission of smoke.

​

Solution

Applications

• We will apply this project in those areas where lack of electricity is present like Gurgaon. ( Demand is of 9000MW with the supply short by 1500MW )

​

• For more productive output we will implement our project at those places where high amount of Heat and Sunlight is present like Rajasthan.

( A positive point for us is Rajasthan is the biggest State of India )

​

• The Electricity produced through our Plant can be used by any one in this country like Factories , Home supply , Government agencies etc.

•  Parabolic trough modules will have between 20 and 40 mirrors mounted to a single space frame module. 

​

• The mirrors are typically 4 – 5 mm thick and are mounted to the structural frame with bolted connections.

​

• A UV-stabilized mirror film laminated onto an aluminum substrate  provides a reflectance of about 94%. The weight of the modern reflective surface is about 3.5 kg/m2 versus 10 kg/m2 for glass mirrors and allows for a lower initial cost.

​

• Thermal oils have a maximum temperature limit of around 400 °C

​

• 1^st   | Spain – 2.3 GW in 707.5 Hectares.

    2^nd | U.S. - 1.5 GW

    3^rd | China-570 MW 

​

• Future fulfillment, the highest time-consumption of electricity in India in 2022 is projected to be around 800GW. This is almost double the current electricity consumption of about 400GW in 2020. 

​

• It is estimated that the Sunlight reaching the Earth in 1.5 hours can meet the annual global energy consumption. It means that even if solar system are installed in a relatively smaller area, it can meet the global requirements.
