The power generation service available with the Future Energy
Inc. provides an efficient and low cost method to generate power
by a completely safe mechanism designed and developed by
industry renowned the Future Energy Inc. Industry provides a
way to harness the easily available renewable source of energy to
give power without creating any hazard to environment and
native peoples. For the assurance of saving of our renewable
sources Solar Thermal Power Plant is installed.

Solar Energy Can Be Used for Heat

and Electricity:
•When converted to thermal (or heat) energy, solar energy can be
used to:

•Heat water —for use in homes, buildings, or swimming pools

•Heat spaces —inside homes, greenhouses, and other buildings

•Heat fluids —to high temperatures to operate a turbine to

generate electricity
BACKGROUND:
 Solar Thermal/Electric Power Plants generate electricity by
concentrating solar energy to heat a fluid and produce
steam that is used to power a generator. In 2009, there were
13 solar thermal-power generating units operating in the
United States, 11 in California, 1 in Arizona, and 1 in
Nevada.

 Solar thermal power currently leads the way as the most

cost-effective solar technology on a large scale. It currently
beats other PV systems, and it also can beat the cost of
electricity from fossil fuels such as natural gas. In terms of
low-cost and high negative environmental impact, nothing
competes with coal.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

Installation of 1MW of Solar Thermal Power Plant in a place

Which will be covering an area of around 18,210.87 -20,234.3
square meter.

SCOPE
7|Page
  The provisions of this proposal shall specify the use of
energy sources other then our conventional sources which is
almost on the verge of becoming extinct. So, this kind of
energy generation methods will act like replacement for the
conventional sources.

LIMITATIONS

•The amount of sunlight that arrives at the Earth's surface is not

constant. It varies depending on location, time of day , time of

year, and weather conditions.

•Because the sun doesn't deliver that much energy to any one
place at any one time, a large surface area is required to collect
the energy at a useful rate.

AIM
Installation of 1MW Solar Thermal Power Plant .
 OBJECTIVES

 To control environmental pollution

 Preserve the Non Renewable source of energy like petrol,
diesel etc.
 Develop Ultra Mega and Large scale Solar plants including

 Parabolic Through

 A parabolic trough collector has a long parabolic-shaped

reflector that focuses the sun's rays on a receiver pipe
located at the focus of the parabola.The collector tilts with

 the sun as the sun moves from east to west during the day
to ensure that the sun is continuously focused on the
receiver.

Fig.3

 Because of its parabolic shape, a trough can focus the sun

at 30 to 100 times its normal intensity (concentration
ratio) on the receiver pipe located along the focal line of
the trough, achieving operating temperatures over 750°F.

 Output

1) No Fuel Cost – Solar Thermal Energy does not require any

fuel like most other sources of renewable energy. This is a
huge advantage over other fossil fuels whose costs are
increasing at a drastic rate every year. Electricity prices are
increasingly rapidly in most parts of the world much faster
than general inflation. Price shocks due to high fuel costs are
a big risk with fossil fuel energy these days.

2) Predictable, 24/7 Power -Solar Thermal Energy can generate

power 24 hours a day. This is made possible as solar thermal
power plants store the energy in the form of molten salts etc.
Other forms of Renewable Energy like Solar PV and Wind
Energy are intermittent in nature. The electricity supply is
much more uniform and reliable.

3) No Pollution and Global Warming Effects – Solar Thermal

Energy does not cause pollution which is one of the biggest
advantages. Note there are costs associated with the
equipment used to build and transport Solar Thermal
Energy Equipment.
 Exit Plan

If our company is not finding the profit in installing of Solar

Thermal Power Plant of 1MW we will be sell our project to
another company who are willing to take on this project
And ready to give us reasonable price that may come over our
loss.

Benefits
 Inexpensive Water Heating
Using the sun’s thermal energy to heat water can dramatically
reduce your electricity bill. Instead of using an electric hot water
heater, many homes have solar hot water heaters that not only
heat water but pump it through the house. According to the
government’s Energy Savers website, solar hot water heaters
work in any climate and the fuel is always free. They note that
passive water heating systems—those without pumps—require
very little maintenance, as infrequently as every 3 to 5 years .

 Inexpensive Home Heating

Passive solar heating uses a structure’s location and building
materials to collect and store the sun’s energy. According to the
Whole Building Design Guide website, features like south-facing
windows, building materials with heat storage capacities, natural
27 | P a g e
convection vents and glazed windows can all reduce the need for
electrical heating and cooling. In fact, the website reports that
even modest usage of passive solar design can reduce heating
needs between five and 25 percent, at little or no cost. Buildings
designed entirely on these principles can reduce heating needs
between 25 and 75 percent, making them cost-effective over the
life of the building.

Unlimited Source of Energy

Unlike fossil fuels, the sun’s thermal energy is in no short supply.
According to BP’s 2007 Statistical Review of World Energy, the
earth’s known oil reserves will last approximately 40 years;
however, Britain’s Oil Depletion Analysis Centre criticizes that
estimate, predicting a sharp decline in oil availability as soon as
2011. Alternative energy sources such as coal and natural gas
exist, but both are considered “dirty” sources that will pollute the
environment and the atmosphere. The sun, in contrast, offers a
limitless supply of free energy.

 Cost-Effectiveness of Solar Thermal Power Plants

Although many solar applications are small-scale and exist in
individual homes or offices, the potential exists to build solar
thermal power plants to replace traditional oil- or gas-powered
plants. According to Ferrostaal, a German solar contractor, solar
power plants are already competitive in terms of cost with their
fossil-fuel-powered competitors. They claim that solar thermal
plants remain competitive when oil costs $70 per barrel. Should
that price rise as high as $130 per barrel, solar thermal plants will
be more economical than plants fueled by oil or natural gas.
  Environmental Friendliness of Solar Thermal Power
Plants

Solar thermal power plants have several other advantages over

their fossil-fuel competitors. According to Ferrostaal, solar
thermal plants don’t require a great deal of space and can make
use of undeveloped, unproductive land. They’re built using
recyclable materials such as glass, steel and concrete. Best of all,
no fossil fuels need be consumed during the power production
process, resulting in zero harmful carbon dioxide emissions

 Drawbacks
1) Future Technology has a high probability of making CSP
Obsolete – Solar Energy has become a Hotbed of Innovation with
daily news of some new breakthrough in materials and process in
PV Technology. Oerlikon has come out with a radial new a-Si
Technology while CIGs player are touting increased efficiencies.
Chinese Solar Companies have captured large chunks of the Solar
Market through low cost leadership while number of Global
Heavyweights like Posco, Samsung, Hyundai, Sharp, GE, TSMC
promise to further decrease these costs.

2) Water Issue – Solar Thermal Plants use lots of Water which is

Major Problem in Desert Areas. Using non-water cooling raises
the cost of CSP projects too much. While using Sea Water has
been proposed it remains to be seen if it possible to implement
this solution as this would imply building Plants very near the
Coastline.

3)Ecological and Cultural Issues – The Usage of Massive Arrays

of Mirrors is noted to heavily impact the Desert Wildlife
endangering the endangered species. California has already seen
a massive fight on this issue with Project Developers curtailing
the size of their Plants and spending money to move the wildlife.

4) Limited Locations and Size Limitations – Solar

Thermal Energy can only be built in places which have the high
amount of solar radiation. They can be built in deserts mostly and
require a large land area. This means its not possible to build
them in populated areas. Solar Thermal Energy also can only be
built in large sizes which are at least 50 MW in size to be
economical. This contrasts to Solar PV which is sold in sizes as
low as 5 Watts.

5)Long Gestation Time Leading to Cost Overruns – The

Gestation Time for permitting, financing, drilling etc. can easily
take 5-7 years to develop a concentrated solar thermal power
plant. Compare this to 6 months for a small wind farm or 3
months for a Solar PV plant.
6) Financing – is the biggest problem in developing projects
particularly for small solar thermal developers in this industry.

Conclusion

The solar Thermal Power Plant System installed are fully tested
and standardized based system that can help in generation of
electricity from solar energy acts as a replacements for non-
renewable sources of energy which very much cost efficient and in
abundance. It is ecofriendly and can be made easily available to
rural areas.
