Shri R K Singh -
the Revolutionary
----------------------------------------
Our Minister of State ( Independent Charge ) for Power
and Renewable Energy, Shri R K Singh is
a revolutionary
Here is the proof
Today’s Business Line carries following news :
The Centre will rework and expand the ambit of roof-top solar power
generation policy, according to
Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Power and Renewable Energy, R K Singh.
Speaking to reporters on the side lines
of an international R&D conclave, organised by the Central Electricity
Authority, Singh said, “We are coming up with a new scheme which will improve the present roof-top solar systems. We already have schemes for solar
pumps and roof-top solar but we are enlarging those schemes and improving the mechanisms so that they can be
delivered faster.”
Singh said that the government is also
gearing up for taking strides in energy storage. He said, “According to the
trajectory we had announced, we are bidding out projects in solar, wind and in
hybrid generation. Now we are going to attach a storage component to those bids
too. For example, if
the entire project is of 1000 MW, the storage capacity with it will be of
around 100 MW.”
That is : ONE battery storage ( 100 MW ) for 1 GW ( 1,000
MW ) of solar generation
For our target of 100 GW by 2022 , we need 100 Battery
Storage ( of 100 MW each )
But with about 50 months left to reach that target, we
need to install 2 Battery Storages EVERY MONTH for the next 50 months !
ONE installation , every 15 days !
That is finding a cool $ 100 million per month (
TESLA’s 100 MW Battery Storage , installed and commissioned in South Australia
within 100 days , cost $ 50 million each )
All told , for those 100 Battery Storages, we will
need $ 5,000 Million ( $ 5 Billion )
Exactly what I wrote in my following blog , only yesterday !
National
Energy Storage Mission [ 19
Feb 2018 ]
In that blog , I also suggested how to raise the
required funds
But the “ Roof
Top Solar Power Generation Revolution “
will remain only a dream , unless that reworked policy ( under formulation )
covers within its “ ambit “ , my following suggestions as well

Solar
Power at Rs 1 per Kwh ? [ 29
Jan 2017 ]
https://myblogepage.blogspot.in/2017/01/solar-power-at-rs-1-per-kwh.html
I urge Shri Singh to consider my following suggestion as
well :
· Individual
building owners or Societies will install the plants on their roofs ( model /
size / supplier etc to be decided by each consumer )
· Plants
will need to be installed only
by Channel Partners ( supplying agencies ) which
are empanelled by the Ministry
of New and Renewable Energy , who have submitted installation data ( Project
Completion Report for grid connected rooftop projects ) on the SPIN portal
· Submit
“ Bill / Certificate of Grid
Connectivity “ to govt
for “Green Solar Loan “
· Loan
will be repayable at 5 % interest
rate , over a 15 year period
· SOCIETY
WILL BE ABLE TO PAY THE EMI FROM THE SAVINGS IT WILL MAKE BY
NOT HAVING TO BUY THE GRID POWER FROM STATE DISCOM
· Societies
will even be allowed to repay the EMI in
the form of the solar power it generates and FEEDS into
the State Grid , under the “ Reverse
Metering “ Scheme

National Energy Storage
Mission
--------------------------------------
Business Line ( 16 Feb ) carried following news report
:
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set up
the Energy Storage Expert Committee to propose creation of the National Energy
storage Mission for India.
The committee has a stringent time line of four months
to release the draft National Energy Storage Mission
Speaking at an industry event, Minister of State
(Independent Charge) for Power and Renewable Energy RK Singh said, “ We need a
viable commercial plan for storing renewable energy and we will be able to
significantly cut down import of fossil fuels once the storage of renewable
energy is commercially viable.”
I would say : Not a day too soon !
Consider the following :
·
India
is targeting to achieve 100 GW of solar power
capacity by 2022
·
As
of today , actual installed capacity is barely 17 GW
·
India
gets 300 days of sunshine per year
Between them , our deserts (Rajasthan / Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh ) have
Potential to
generate 315.7 GW of Solar Power
·
To
be able to use at night, Solar power generated during day ( when sun shines ) ,
need to be stored in huge banks of batteries
But , how to “ Store “ all that huge amount of Solar
generated electricity and use it round the clock when Sun is not shining ?
This ( storage of solar generated
power ) was not possible till recently
But it just became possible !
Only last month , Elon Musk ( TESLA )
installed a 100 MW / 129 MWh , Lithium-
ion Battery
Storage facility in Australia , for a cost of $ 50 million
And within 100 days – ensuring no more “
black outs “ in South Australia !
To store that 316 GW ( 316,000 MW ) of solar power
generated in our deserts , we will need hundreds of Storage Batteries of the size ( 100 MW ) installed in Australia
That would cost , lakhs of
crores of rupees !
We need to raise :
For 316 GW solar power projects in our
deserts…………$ 316 Billion
For 100
( ? ) Mega Storage Batteries……………………………$ 5 Billion
A
Total of ……………………………………………………………………$ 321
Billion
Where / how can we raise such funds ?
Here is how much some countries managed to “ get
declared “ Black Money through their own Amnesty Schemes :
Indonesia………..$ 367 Billion
( just 2 % tax / no penalty / no questions asked )
Italy………………….$ 137 Billion
Argentina…………$ 117 Billion
Brazil……………… $
53 Billion
India………………. $
10 Billion
To know how we can do better, look up :
Indonesia Shows the Way ( 23
Dec 2016 )
Can you imagine :
What it could do to our economy if power was available for Rs 1 / Kwh ?
How many premature deaths ( due to air pollution ) can
be avoided if we shut down ALL coal-based power plants ? ( Ans : 600,000 each year )
6 million Electric vehicles that the Government wants to put
on our roads by 2020 , were re-charging their Li-ion batteries , using GREEN solar power ?
