51.1 Performance Ratio Test:

a) This test checks if the power plant is performing at or above the performance ratio
agreed or warranted within the EPC contract. A standard testing period would be
continuous testing for a minimum of Seven consecutive days. Typically, a minimum

irradiance will be defined and the performance ratio measured for the period in which
that irradiance is exceeded. The electrical energy generated should be recorded at the
metering point. Input from all energy meters will be added to get energy generation
from Solar power plant. Energy meters shall have minimum accuracy class of 0.2).This
value of energy generated will be taken for calculation of performance ratio (PR). Global
incident radiation value shall be considered for plane of array irradiation for calculation
of PR.
b) The procedure for PG demonstration test shall be as follows:
Step 1: A calibrated Pyranometer shall be installed by the contractor at the location

mutually agreed by the Contractor and Owner. The test report for the calibration shall
be submitted by the Contractor for approval by the Owner. The output of this
Pyranometer for test period of the PG test shall be made available at SCADA.
Pyranometer shall be of secondary standard as per ISO9060 classification. Required
Software shall be supplied with Pyranometer to get required output.
Step 2: Actual energy exported from the plant supplied by the Contractor shall be
noted for time of the test(Minimum 5 days). This will be taken as A.C Yield in KWH in PR
formulae.
Values calculated in Step-1 & 2 shall be used to calculate PR.
The PR, usually expressed as a percentage, is used to compare PV systems independent

of size and solar resource. The PR is expressed as:
AC Yield (kWh) X 100

PR =
{ Installed capacity (kWp) x plane of array irradiation (kWh/m) }
c) For performance ratio calculations:

Effect due to variation of meteorological parameters e.g. ambient temperature, wind
Speed, humidity etc. shall not be considered.
Generation loss due to grid outage (or power evacuation system which is not in the
scope of the CONTRACTOR): the measured global solar radiation of the period of the
outage of the power evacuation system shall be excluded to calculate average global
solar radiation for the period of the PG test.
51.2 Actual Performance ratio
The ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RATIO (APR) shall be equal to or more than the
Minimum Guaranteed Performance ratio of 75%. The Performance Ratio Test should be
conducted within 15 days of successful commissioning of the plant. PLANT having
performance ratio below 75 % shall not be accepted by CME. In such case, the
CONTRACTOR at its own cost should Make Good the PLANT so as to be capable to
meet the Minimum Guaranteed Performance ratio. This shall be verified by again
carrying out the PR test, within a reasonable period of time. In case, the CONTRACTOR
fails to achieve the minimum 75% PR ratio even in the repeated PR test, then without
prejudice to any other right or remedy available CME shall be entitled to forfeit the
Security Deposit and Performance Guarantee and terminate the CONTRACT and the

PLANT shall be taken over by CME and rectify the same at the risk and cost of
CONTRACTOR.
51.3 GUARANTEED PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE (PR and CUF)
a) If the Contractor is not able to demonstrate Guaranteed Performance Ratio during the
three months he will be given one or more chance to demonstrate the PG test. In that
case the steps for PG test shall be repeated again as above.
b) Performance Ratio will be considered while taking over the plant from the contractor
which should be minimum of 75%.
c) During the O&M period, at the end of every year starting from first year Value of C.U.F
(Co-efficient of utilization factor) shall be demonstrated by CONTRACTOR, which shall
be not less than value as specified in Annexure-A every year throughout O&M period.
d) Thecapacity factor of a PV power plant (usually expressed as a percentage) is the ratio
of the actual output over a period of one year and its output if it had operated at
nominal power the entire year, as described by the formula:
Energy generated Per annum (kWh) X 100

C.U.F =
{8760(hours/annum) x Installed capacity (kWp) }

1.0 SYSTEM DESIGN AND PHILOSOPHY
1.1 The main objective is the high availability and reliability of the plant. In order to achieve
the main objective, the following principles shall be adopted while designing system.
1.2 The Solar photovoltaic (SPV) array shall consist of approx. 6350 number of Canadian
solar /Jinko Solar make module that directly produces DC electricity- power on receipt of
solar irradiation. This DC power is converted to AC power by Power Conditioning Units
(PCU). The AC output of PCU shall be stepped up to 22kV level by a step-up transformer.
Single line diagram shows details of the scheme. Solar PV Crystalline cells of high
efficiency.
1.3 Inverters of minimum 500 KW shall be provided along with PCUs, Junction boxes etc. to
ensure generation of poweras per design estimates. This to be done by applying liberal
de-rating factors for the arrayand recognizing the efficiency parameters of PCUs,
transformers, etc.
1.4 CONTRACTOR shall

a) Selectthe equipment and adopt plant layout such as to ensure ease of maintenance.
b) Ensure strict compliance with the approved and proven quality assurance norms and
proceduresduring the different phases of the project.
c) Provide proper monitoring in the synchronizations which ensures the availability of
power to thegrid.
d) Design the plant instrumentation and control system to ensure high availabilityand
reliability of the plant to assist the operators in the safe and efficient operation of
theplant.It should also provide for the analysis of the historical data and help in the
plant maintenance people to take up the plant and equipment on preventive
maintenance.The power plant has to operate in parallel with the grid system which is
infinite electrical system. The Solar Power Plant has to protect its equipment against
any of possible fault or other disturbances from the grid.
e) Provide Very fast microprocessor based Directional and Reverse power flow
protection to insure isolation of the solar power plant from the grid at the time of any
fault or/and any additional suitable protection.
1.5 The basic and detailed engineering of the plant will aim at achieving high standards of
operational Performance especially considering following:
i. Optimum availability of modules during the day time.
ii. Ensuring module layout to prevent shading.
iii. Module mounting structure with manual seasonal tilting arrangement.
iv. High DC system voltage and low current handling requirements.
v. Selection of PCUs with high track record and ready availability of requisite spares.
vi. Careful logging of operation data / historical information from the Data Monitoring
Systems,and periodically processing it to determine abnormal or slowly deteriorating
conditions.
vii. SPV power plant should be designed to operate satisfactorily in parallel with the grids
within permissible limits of high voltage and frequency fluctuation conditions, so as to
export the maximum possible units to the grid. It is also extremely important to
safeguard the system during major disturbances, like tripping / pulling out of big
generating stations and sudden overloading during falling of portion of the grid loads

on the power plant unit in island mode, under fault / feeder tripping conditions.
viii. Flat plate arrays held fixed at a tilted angle and face towards the equator, are most
common. The angle of tilt should be approximately equal to the angle of latitude for the
site.
ix. The solar PV system should be so designed that it shall take into account the mean energy
output after allowing for various losses, temperature corrections, on an average day for
each month of the year.
x. The Minimum array capacity at STC shall be 2 MWp on DC side at the time of
installation & after stabilised operation of first year this capacity will be measured
and capacity of the plant shall be 2MWp.If the Contractor anticipates any degradation
of the module, it shall be taken care of to provide additional capacity to achieve
