While prostrating the SUN in the morning Yoga, we say Mitraaya Namaha, Meaning - I bow to my friend !

Yes, he is our friend, to help us, as SUN is the life giver and protector of all, rising and setting, daily, a real wonder!

But, hitherto, we have used SUN to dry our clothes, rice, wheat pulses, vegetables & fish.

But SUN can give us energy, if we do Surya Namaskar and yoga, tan our skin.

But can SUN give us POWER, in the form of ENERGY.

YES, but HOW?

By photo voltaic cells

Also through Thermal Solar alias CSP projects

What is this and how does this work?

How thermal solar plants work?

• Solar thermal energy is the process of using the sun’s rays to produce thermal energy, or energy from heat for a variety of different uses

• Concentrated Solar Thermal (CST) for fulfilling heat requirements in industries, and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) when the heat collected is used for power generation

While photo voltaic cells can be used for generating electricity for households and industries, in densely populated areas of a city or industrial hub, in the area, they cannot be used in vast stretches of deserts or barren land, as they may not be cost effective and there may be sizable line loss, while transmitting them.

Added to this, they cannot be scaled above 50MW, maximum, in a single place.

This is here THERMO SOLAR PROJECTS are effective.

How is that?

How is that?

HOW IT WORKS ?

A thermal solar project, places a column of water, in a cylinder, with additives and catalysts,

Heated by an array of mirrors, positioned around it, in a circle, with mechanism,

For adjusting them, in suitable angles, to grasp the Rays of the SUN and focus them on the column of water, heating it to generate steam, which is converted into electricity, as in an old Railway steam engine.

What are the other important aspects of this technology?

Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a technology for harnessing solar energy to generate thermal energy or electrical energy for use in industry, and in the residential and commercial sectors.

How are  the Thermal  power projects, advantageous and cost effective?

1.Very huge amount of power up to 100 MW now, soon up to 200-500 MW in a single area.

2.They can be set up in uninhabited, unfit for any use, barren, desert land.

3.Once installed need very little maintenance, except the service of boilers, mirror mechanism, etc. in fact the rains, when they come, cleanly wash, the mirrors, without any cost and the operating efficiency is more than 50%, unlike photo voltaic plants.

4.They can help large Institutions, save on energy costs, as in Mt.Abu, where the Brahma Kumaris' Ashram complex and kitchen, are run by Thermal solar.

Then why are Thermal Solar projects, very few in number?

Initial capital costs of land, special boilers, made to order mirrors, technical expertise are huge and not easily available.

Initial fear of investing in such a huge capital intensive technology.

The cost of generating power and the revenue earned, by selling to The State Governments.

How can this be tackled?

By making ‘ALL’, AS STAKE HOLDERS in the project!

How?

By the State and Central Government, Railways, defense and institutions, large companies, like TCS, Tata’s, Infosys, Wipro, releasing the land,

for this project and

By contributing to this project, their products like boilers, by BHEL, Areva, GE, Thermax…

By giving the special mirrors, by Saint Gobain, Pilkington …

By meeting the construction costs, by companies like L & T, GMR, HCC, Gammon India, Shapoorji Pallonji, with their men and materials, like cement, plumbing, electrical …

By the Technology Provider, with their technical Know how.

By the project co-ordinator PRASAN & CO., and their Associates, claiming the value of their services

By way of shares, in The Thermal Solar Company.

As an investment and as their contribution to

MAKE INDIA, A SURPLUS POWER NATION !

Why Prasan & Company ?Because new entrepreneurs need guidance, for big Investments.

Because PRASAN  & Co., are independent Consultants, with over 50 years experience, in  Management, Mentoring and Money Services, being on panels of many national and International Institutions like the World Bank, ADB, INDIAN Investment Centre, etc.,

Because they have a speck-less record of service, unlike many International firms,

Because they work overtime to get the BEST deals, in technology, equipment and services.

Because of their contacts, they can get you the BEST technology, the BEST financing solutions, at the BEST rates !

Can ‘YOU’ do it ?

Yes, Ungalaal Mudium!

You CAN do it!

You MUST do !!If leading companies of India and members of all associations can’t do it, who else can?

Let us all pledge to make INDIA, A SURPLUS POWER and SUPER POWER, through this new exciting GREEN

technology, also generating employment in deserts and barren areas, where even a blade of grass, does not grow !

Thank You, Thank You !
