Inverter (12KVA, 156V) 01 Rs.225000
• Mounting Structure – Rs.65000 ( @ Rs.10/W).
• Installation cost - Rs.32500 ( @ Rs.5000/1KW).
• Total cost - Rs.1067500.
30% MNRE subsidy,
Net Investment – Rs.747250 ( 7.5 Lac app).
Net Savings:
Units consumed – 27 units / day (app).
810 units / month.
Per unit costs – Rs.5 (commercial usage).
Rs.4050 / month.
Rs.48600/ annum.
This amount can be saved per annum in EB bill.
CER Estimation:
1 CER = 1 ton of carbon-dioxide saved.
Units saved / month – 850 units.
Units saved / year – 10200 units.
Therefore,
10.2 CER saved per year
Recommendation:
Replace all FL lamps with CFL / LED lamps.
Avoid using all heavy loads appliances at a time.
The we can reduce the consumption and subsequently the cost for
solar PV system can also be reduced.
Consumption:
5 – 6 LPG cylinders / day.
A boiler of capacity 300 liter ( wood fueled boiler).
Objective:
To replace the wood fueled steam boiler with solar steam cooking
system.
Boiler Details:
Capacity – 300 liters.( 4 chamber- 100kg of rice can be cooked).
Steam pressure – 1.5bar.
Temperature of the steam - 120°C.
Boiler radius, r = 35.8cm
Boiler area ( pot area) = 0.4sq.m
Energy Required For The Boiler:
Q = mass of water * heat capacity of water (final temp – ambient temp)
therefore,
Q = 300 * 4.18 * (120ºC - 30ºC)
= 112860KJ.
Since, boiler is 70% efficiency ( 30% loss)
= 112860000 * 0.3
= 33858000J.
Therefore, total heat energy req.
Q =112860000 + 33858000
= 146718000J = 146718KJ.
Collector Plate Sizing:
Boiler area (pot area) = 0.4sq.m
• Collector plate available in India (7, 9, 9.2, 10, ….16sq.m).
Choose 10sqm collector plate.
• Concentration ratio =10/0.4
= 25.
Therefore,
density of solar radiation at the focus point
= concentration ratio * direct radiation * efficiency of collector
= 25 * 500W/sq.m * 0.75
= 9375 W/sq.m.
Actual solar radiation at the boiler area,
= density of radiation * focus point area.
= 9375 * 0.4
= 3844 watts
Therefore,
actual available wattage at the focus point of a10sq.m collector plate,
= 3844watts.(3844 J/S).
7 * 3844 = 26908watts.
Select 7 collector plate of each 10sq.m
Time required to cook the food = req.energy / (available wattage * 3600)
= 146718000 / (26908 * 3600)
= 1.5hrs.
Cost Estimation:
Cost of a collector plate with aperture diameter 1.4m – Rs.6000
so a 10sq.m( dia 3.6m) collector plate cost is – Rs.15500 .
Therefore, cost of 7 plates = Rs.15500 * 7
= Rs. 108500.
Pay Back:
Cost of wood per day = Rs.90 ( to produce 146718KJ Heat energy).
Cost per annum = Rs.32400.
Pay back period = 108500 / 32400.
~ 3 years.
