CE 1.2 Project Background
CE 1.2.1 Characteristics of the project
Solar energy is considered to be one of the most useful and easily available renewable
energy sources. From that point of view it is cleared that the solar energy can be utilised in
several applications with the help of the mechanism systems which can be implemented for the
best use of the system. The main advantage of using the solar energy is that it is easily available
and it has a very low amount of pollution. In a solar installation plant there are many important
instruments which I have examined during the project. I have learnt about the functionality and
the mechanism of those instruments which I have learnt during the projects. In this project I have
mainly done the tasks related to the installation of the solar panel. The solar panel is the main
part of the solar plant which is under the direct exposure of the solar energy and it basically gets
the solar enegy which basically converted later into electrical energt. This part is the most
important and the primary part of the solar plant.

CE 1.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
There ere many objectives of this project and those are given below.
 To make the solar panel with proper dimension.
 To install the solar panel in proper place.
 To design the solar panel so that it can get maximum exposure to the sunlight.
 To create a solar system which can provide maximum solar power generation?
CE 1.2.3 My area of work
I have examined during the project. I have learnt about the functionality and the
mechanism of those instruments which I have learnt during the projects. In this project I have
mainly done the tasks related to the installation of the solar panel. The solar panel is the main
part of the solar plant which is under the direct exposure of the solar energy and it basically gets
the solar energy which basically converted later into electrical energy. This part is the most
important and the primary part of the solar plant. I have also designed the several parts in the
solar panel and the design was also done by me. I have also created the documentation of the
project and submitted to the university.
CE 1.2.4 Project Group
I have done this project under the supervision of my project guide and he has helped me a
lot in making this project. There were also several engineered in the mechanical department who
have also introduced me with several instruments and their mechanism. I was also thankful to all
those employees and the project manager of the company for assisting me in the project and to
teach me a lot.

CE 1.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
I had the responsibility to properly execute this project. I was responsible to proper
u9nderstand the functioning and the mechanism of the solar panel and the instruments used in
the solar power plant. I had also the responsibility to apply my knowledge in mechanical
engineering for the projection of the system. I was also responsible for creating the design in
proper way for the system.
CE 1.3 Distinctive Activity
CE 1.3.1 Comprehending the theory of the project
Sun powered Power, a clean sustainable asset with zero emanation, has gigantic
capability of vitality which can be saddled utilizing an assortment of gadgets. With late
improvements, sunlight based vitality frameworks are effortlessly accessible for modern and
residential use with the additional favourable position of least upkeep. Sun powered vitality
could be made monetarily suitable with government impose motivating forces and discounts.
With around 301 clear radiant days in a year, India's hypothetical sun oriented power gathering,
just on its territory range, is around 5 Peta hour/year (i.e. = 5000 trillion kWh/yr ~ 600 Tera
Watt). The day by day normal sunlight based vitality episode over India fluctuates from 4 to 7
kWh/m2 with around 2300 to 3200 daylight hours for every year, contingent on area. This is
significantly more than current aggregate vitality utilization. The sun gives out 3.7*10 ^20 MW
of vitality into space, out of which earth catches one 1.7*10^11 MW. Sun powered radiation is
diminished in force in the air by mists, tidy, dimness, and mist. The vitality produced by the sun
in three minutes is equal to the world vitality utilization amid a year. A large portion of the
vitality we get from the sun comes as light, a short wave radiation, not which is all unmistakable

to human eye. At the point when this radiation strikes a strong or fluid, it is consumed and
changed into warm vitality. The warmth vitality is gathered in a liquid, by and large water. This
warmth vitality can be utilized as a part of sunlight based warmer or drier or can be utilized to
run a motor. Level plate gatherer or illustrative concentrated sort authority is issued to gather and
focus the sun based vitality and increment the temperature of the working fluid.
CE 1.3.2 Engineering knowledge and skills applied in the project
There are several mechanisms which are designed on the basis of the concepts related to
the mechanical energy and I have implemented all the concepts which are given below.
Concentrator authorities are of reflecting sort using mirrors. The reflecting surface might
be an allegorical mirror. The sun powered vitality falling on the gatherer surface is reflected and
cantered along a line where the safeguard tube is found. As extensive amount of vitality falling
on the authority surface is gathered over a little surface, the temperature of safeguard liquid is
especially higher than in level plate gatherer. While level plate gatherers might be utilized to
warm water upto 80'C (low temperature), the concentrating sort of authorities are intended to
warm water to medium and high temperature ranges. The water warmed in level plate sun
oriented gatherer to 80'C is utilized for bubbling butane at high weight in the butane evaporator.
Breaking point of butane is around 50'C.
The butane vapour created at high weight in the kettle is utilized to run the vapour turbine
which drives the electrical generator. The vapour leaving the turbine at low weight is
consolidated in a condenser utilizing water. The consolidated fluid butane is sustained back to
the butane evaporator utilizing encourage pump.

CE 1.3.3 Accomplishment and task performed
I have examined during the project. I have learnt about the functionality and the
mechanism of those instruments which I have learnt during the projects. In this project I have

1.3.4.1 Issues
There are many issues related to the project. Utility sub-station and clearing frameworks
must be appropriately set-up for transmitting the power produced in the power plant. Power
framework must be in the nearness of the site. Numerous locales in a few states don't have
required power matrix. Notwithstanding when the network is open, it is in charge of high
Aggregate Technical and Commercial misfortunes. The administration must introduce and keep
up world-class matrix for transmission of vitality with lesser misfortunes.
1.3.4.2 Solutions
The technology should be implemented ted in such a manner so that the cost can reduce
to a great extent. The innovation for the solar energy plant should be given more emphasis.

CE 1.3.5 Plan to produce creative and innovative work
