National Institute of Solar Energy, Gurgaon (NISE) an
autonomous institution of Ministry of New and Renewable (MNRE), is the apex
National R&D institution in the field of Solar Energy. The NISE has assumed
all technical activities of Solar Energy Centre (SEC) and has also re-organized
itself to undertake roles and responsibilities assigned to it by the Ministry
(MNRE). The Institute is involved in demonstration, standardization,
interactive research, training and testing of solar technologies and systems. It
is an effective interface between the Government and institutions, industry
& user organizations for development, promotion and widespread utilization
of solar energy in the country. It hosted the launch of International Solar
Alliance in January 2016 attended by both Prime Minister of India and President
of France.
NISE,
Gurgaon organised the “Training of Master Trainer on Solar
Energy Technologies and Applications,” (ISA-ITEC) which is scheduled
from 4th November 2019 to 22nd
November 2019 at premises of NISE, Gurgaon.
This
Training programme is a joint effort of the ISA, Ministry of External Affairs
(MEA) and NISE, Gurugram. The primary objective of the training is to train the
master trainers who will go and scale up capacity building program in the
field of solar energy technologies in their respective ISA member
countries.
Ecosense has collaborated with NISE to conduct a 1-day hands on training
on Solar Photovoltaic Technologies using Solar PV Training and Research
System and Solar PV Grid Tied System to participants of ISA-TEC.
A total of 21 participants from 12 countries participated in the
workshop. This 1- day training focussed on Solar PV standalone system and Solar
PV Grid Connected system. During this hands-on training participants learned
about key Solar PV parameters such as:
·
I-V and P-V characteristics.
·
Key components used in Solar
PV installation and their applications
·
Effect of tilt on PV panels
·
Effect of shading
·
Series and parallel
connections
·
Use of diodes (as blocking
and bypass diode)
·
Standalone PV systems
·
Impact of transmission line
inductance on grid
·
Impact of Capacitors for
power factor improvement
·
Change in THD with increase
in inductance and capacitance in transmission
·
Grid tied systems
·
Net metering concept
·
Anti-islanding concept
