This is a brief description about mind boggling facts of Worlds largest solar power plant situated in Tamil Nadu

1. Mind Boggling Facts about Worlds largest
Adani Solar Power Plant Tamil Nadu:
Purpose of sharing the report will make us understand about various technical
aspects of projects, installation challenges, scale of projects, Machinery involved in
projects. It will not give you a direct knowhow about any installation or technical
specification but with this we can make inference about what kind of risks were
involved, no. of machines required, project management and Backup plan to fight
against any unwanted situations.
These facts look very small but are very important in Project Planning and
Management, these facts also affects the Engineering policies to great extent.
I hope you will like my little efforts.
1. Total land Area 2500 acre, 60 Taj Mahal Can be built-in.
2. Outdoor warehouse facility equivalent to 6 Opera House of Sydney.
3. Fire will be a great problem to tackle as there is continuous array system
without leaving space for fire frightening.
4. Invertors are trapped in array of panels leaving small space to run through, a
fire or spark in invertor can even be disastrous which can burn an entire
cluster.
5. There will be a huge power fluctuation in power production because of size of
plant, which can even lead to failure of state grid system.( May Impact BI or
TP liability.)
6. Plant production is controlled by SCADA, one have to keep eye on failure
rate.
7. Plant is standing on 3.8lac pile bore for Steel structure.
8. Steel structure has passed various test to withstand cyclones and high wind
speed, but still will face huge looses because panels are not made to
withstand such huge pressure winds.
9. Daily 2000 piling was done.
10.Panel covered an area of 1270 acre equivalent to 476 football fields.
11.Total Galvanized Steel Used 30,000 Metric Tonnes enough to construct 4
Eiffel tower .
12.Total Panels area is divided into clusters of 4 to 5 MW each.
13.144 pre-engineered house are there to house 576 invetors.
14.7700km long cabling is done for plant, these cable such long to connect New
Delhi to Perth , Australia.
15.Daily erection was of 3MW.
16.The site is divided into 5 units of different capacity.
17.GSS are quality made following every aspect of protection.

2. 18.Earlier (world’s largest) similar project of 579 MW in California Rosamond,
US had taken 3years for completion whereas this 678 MW project timeline is
within year only.
19.Even after devastating floods of 2015 aroused of North West Monsoon when
get diverted to South Indian they were able to complete around 1 to 1.5MW
installation per day.
20.Just for this one project company received more than 6000 containers from
China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Turkey, Israel, Italy, Germany and
Switzerland.
21.2500 worker working in 3 shifts making it equivalent to 8500 workers.
22.Inundation can be a big problem to the projects.
