The tender for a 70 MW (AC) ground-mounted solar power plant at Nandan Washery, Kanhan area, Western Coalfields Limited (WCL), has been released by CMPDI, marking a significant step towards renewable energy adoption for captive consumption in Maharashtra.
This ambitious project, aimed at powering various load centers of WCL through open access, outlines a comprehensive scope of work encompassing design, engineering, procurement, supply, construction, and extensive maintenance.
The project’s contractor will be responsible for detailed design and engineering, including civil works, power evacuation systems, and necessary documentation for review and approval. A critical component of the project is the procurement and supply of materials, featuring 70 MW AC capacity solar PV modules, module mounting structures, cables, inverters, transformers, switchgear panels, auxiliary supply systems, and safety equipment. This meticulous planning ensures that all essential elements are in place for the successful execution of the solar power plant.
Installation, testing, and commissioning form the backbone of this project. The contractor will install PV modules, lay solar cables, set up string monitoring units, power conditioning units, AC and DC combiner boxes, transformers, switchgear panels, and overhead transmission lines. Rigorous pre-commissioning checks, synchronization, and commissioning will be conducted in compliance with DISCOM/TRANSCO requirements, ensuring that the plant meets all technical and regulatory standards.
A notable aspect of the tender is the comprehensive operation and maintenance of the solar power plant for a decade. This includes training personnel, maintaining accurate logs, procuring spare parts, conducting periodic maintenance, and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements. The contractor’s responsibilities extend to obtaining all necessary approvals for interstate power transmission and plant registration, highlighting the project’s regulatory compliance focus.
Additionally, the construction of a 132 kV double circuit transmission line, approximately 6 kilometers long, from the main control station to the feeding substation, is included. This includes Right of Way (ROW) and two bays extension arrangements as approved by MPPTCL. The project also emphasizes training and documentation, requiring the contractor to provide training to the employer’s personnel and submit operation and maintenance manuals, as-built drawings, and other essential documents.
