Department of Commerce had organized one day Industrial visit for the students of commerce stream to Nuetech Solar power plant located near Magadi Main Road, Bangalore on 11th July, 2024 under the valuable guidance of Ms. Clarin and Ms Alice. The plant was visited by 54 students along with two faculties.
The objective of the site visit is to explore and understand practical, economically viable, scalable and sustainable energy access models. The participants will have a first-hand experience of the technology, business model, end application, operations and maintenance and on the ground issues of energy access models.
This plant is about 26 kms from central Bangalore. It is the first solar plant which has been set up via public-private partnership.
The plant was completed in only 4.5 months, which is a record in itself. The project is of two phases and in the first phase the plant will generate 83 million units of power every year.
All students visited to each section of power plant like Solar panel, Invertor unit, Transformer unit and SCADA and grid connection. Now we are able to understand the concept of solar energy, working of photovoltaic cell, working of Solar panel, and conversion of DC to AC by using Invertor unit, step up of voltage by transformer unit and distribution of energy by grid connection. They are able to estimate the land, size and cost required for set up of solar power plant for domestic or commercial use. They are aware with the central state benefits available for set up of solar power plant.
Electrical Engineer, explained and guided us in detail about solar plant.
Feedback: student provided positive feedback praising the industrial visit and practical insight offered.
