Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL) has set up a 5-mw grid-connected solar power plantfor Karnataka Power Corporation (KPCL) at a cost of Rs 62 crore at Shivasamudram near Mandya. This is the single largest solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Karnataka. Following the commissioning of this unit, the company has set a new record in its solar PV business in a single year, by commissioning 15 mw of solar power plants in various parts of the country during fiscal 2011-12.
For the Shivasamudram project, BHEL’s scope of work included design, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of the solar power plant. In addition, BHEL will also operate and maintain the solar power plant for a period of three years. The solar power plant is operating satisfactorily since synchronising with the main grid and DC power generated by the solar panels is converted into AC by inverters and fed into a 66 kV grid through transformers.
