Tata Power Solar (TPS), a 100% subsidiary of Tata Power, has set up one of India’s first solar vehicle charging stations at the Gujarat Sachivalaya (Secretariat). The pilot project consists of a custom-designed 50kW solar charging station and six electric vehicles with integrated solar panels for charging on-the-go. The aesthetically designed charging station is based on a patented suspension system technology that allows panels to be mounted on non-rigid frames using high-tensile wire ropes. This suspension system uses approximately 50 percent less steel compared to conventional rigid structures, and is therefore more economical and environment friendly. The structure’s aerodynamic design can withstand high winds up to 170mph. The design allows easy replacement of any module and access for O&M, with a life span of more than 25 years.
The charging station comes with an energy storage facility, to provide night-time charging. Excess generated electricity will also be fed back to the local grid. The project also includes a comprehensive SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) system to monitor the solar performance, along with a state-of-the-art control room housing a centralised display system for the electric vehicles and charging station. With increasing focus by both central and state governments in promoting renewable energy usage, this model with its easy installation and low cost is expected to find increasing resonance.
Tata Power is India’s largest integrated power company with a growing international presence. The company together with its subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities has an installed gross generation capacity of 8,669 MW and a presence in all the segments of the power sector.
