3. ABSTRACT
• Electricity generation in India has experienced lot of setbacks even
after having ample resources which can make it energy
independent.
• In this paper, solar thermal resources are assessed for concentrating
solar power electricity generation to get electricity availability in
the country in short, medium and long term programme.
• There are lot of challenges observed which discourage the investors
in this sector just as cost of technology, challenges of fossil fuel
price, subsidy on them and many more.
• Government regulations could help to get these resolved. Oil and
gas companies should contribute towards clean energy development
through carbon payback programme. This can increase the chances
of establishing solar thermal electricity in India.

4. INTRODUCTION
 For economic development Energy is
the basic requirement.
 Coal , Nuclear , Natural gases and
Petroleum are used to exploit as main
source of high quality energy products.
 India is 3rd largest producer of
electricity after US and China, even
though suffers a major shortage of
electricity generation capacity.
 Installed capacity of electricity is
360.788 GW as of end August 2019.
 Energy sources will play an important
role in the world’s future given that the
global demand for energy is rapidly
increasing. 4

5. Solar Power Generation
Solar power is the conversion of
energy from sunlight into electricity.
There are two main ways of generating energy from the sun:
5
• Photovoltaic (PV):
• Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST):
Converts sunlight directly
electricity
Generate electricity indirectly
from sunlight

6. Basic Working Principal
• Solar thermal power generation systems use mirrors to
collect sunlight and produce steam by solar heat to
drive turbines for generating power.
• This system generates power by rotating turbines like
thermal and nuclear power plants, and therefore, is
suitable for large-scale power generation.

13. POTENTIAL OF SOLAR ENERGY IN
INDIA
• About 5000 trillion kWh/year energy is incident
over India’s land area.
• Most parts receiving 4 – 7 kWh/m2/day.
• 1% of land area is sufficient to meet electricity needs
of India till 2031.
• Highest annual global radiation is received in
Rajasthan (5.5 – 6.8 kWh/m2/day) and Northern
Gujarat.
• Most of India has solar insolation above 1800 kWh/
m2/ day.
• 250–300 clear and sunny days in a year. 13

15. Indian Scenario
Country wise Solar (GW):
15
• Global solar: 177 GW and India 11th with 3.3 GW
• Present power scenario of India( Total installed capacity of 263.66 GW and RE
capacity of 34.35 GW )

20. CONCLUSION
• A large amount of Indian STE output is consumed in Delhi,
Haryana, and Punjab, drawing upon supply sites in both
Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir. Population centers in
Gujarat are also well positioned to extract power from
Rajasthan.
• All solar thermal power plants in India not used thermal
storage technologies very efficiently.
• Government of India is the first step in the promotion and
establishment of solar energy as a viable alternative to
conventional sources.
• Solar thermal power generation is totally a new technology in
India, thus much more efforts are required for the upliftment
of the energy scenario on large scale.
