Recently, Installed , Completed and Commissioned Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) Station at RTC, SEES, DAVV , Indore to assess and quantify the Solar Atlas. It is Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Govt of India Initiated major project and implementing project by Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET), Chennai.It Using high quality, high resolution equipment/instruments.
SRRA Station consists of two towers of 1.5 m and 6m tall each. The 1.5 m tall tower houses a Solar Tracker equipped with Pyranometrer, Pyranometer with Shaded Ring and Pyrheliometer to measure solar parameters such as, global, diffused and direct radiation. The 6 m tall tower houses instruments measuring rainfall, ambient temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, wind speed and direction. It is totally powered by 160 Watt SPV Panels and consists of 13 equipments/instruments and records 37 parameters inclusive of both measured and derived. The data from each SRRA station averaged to 10 minutes will be transmitted to a Central Receiving Station established at C-WET, Chennai through GPRS mode. The monthly average (daily) wise data received from each SRRA station is available with C-WET and Station . The quality checking process of the data is on.
