Oh Bhai.... In Summer the sun remain in the sky for like 15 hours and from that 15 hours the energy production of 100 MW plant will be 88 MW
The anchor is telling average Per day (including Day/night) MW generation of 100 MW
PV cell of plant only produce Electricity when the sun is shining
here is the Power generation of USA Solar power plant
Probably not, but Solyndra was all over the news media for a while. There’s a blatant lack of coverage for solar success stories, so it wouldn’t be surprising if most people aren’t hearing about them. California’s
Topaz project is the largest solar power plant in the world with a 550 MW capacity, and it is now in
full operation. It is located in San Luis Obispo County and has 9 million solar panels. Construction began just two years ago.
The electricity produced by the plant will be purchased by Pacific Gas and Electric. The solar panels were manufactured by First Solar and the project was developed by First Solar.
SEIA says about 200 homes in California are powered for each MW of solar power capacity. So, for a 550 MW solar plant, about 110,000 homes could be powered when the sun is shining.First Solar has said this figure could be 160,000 homes in the case of Topaz.
The San Luis Obispo county population is about 276,000. It might turn out that the majority of this population could be powered by a single solar power plant.
Energy storage is a growing field, so it eventually might be that excess electricity generated by solar power could be stored for nighttime use and for overcast days, extending the impact of Topaz even further.
Using the electricity created by this huge solar plant rather than fossil fuels will prevent the generation of about 377,000 tons of CO2 annually. It will also not produce harmful air pollution the way coal power plants do.
and yeah Please Do enlighten me about the how Sahiwal Coal power Project has failed
and How many MW did Billo Rani and his Party added from 2007 to 2013...
It all depend on the timing of the Sun in Summers it's 15-16 hours
Photovoltaic solar plants work like this:
As light hits the solar panels, the solar radiation is converted into direct current electricity (DC). The direct current flows from the panels and is converted into alternating current (AC) used by local electric utilities. Finally, the electricity travels through transformers, and the voltage is boosted for delivery onto the transmission lines so local electric utilities can distribute the electricity to homes and businesses.
