Solar Radiation Resource Assessment
Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has initiated a
major project on Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA)
station
across the nation to assess and quantify the solar radiation
availability along with weather parameters with a view to
develop Solar Atlas. Centre for Wind Energy Technology (C-WET),
Chennai is implementing the project by installing a network of
51 Solar Radiation Resource Assessment (SRRA) station in the
first phase in different States using high quality, high
resolution equipment/instruments.

Each SRRA station consists of two towers of
1.5 m and 6 m tall each. The 1.5 m tall
tower houses a Solar Tracker equipped
with Pyranometer, Pyranometer with
Shaded Ring and Pyrheliometer to measure
solar parameters, such as, global,
diffused and direct radiation. The 6 m
tall tower houses instruments measuring
rainfall, ambient temperature,
atmospheric pressure, relative humidity,
wind speed and direction. Each SRRA
station is
totally powered by 160 Watt SPV Panels
and consists of 13
equipments/instruments and records 37
parameters inclusive of both measured
and derived. The data from each SRRA
station
averaged to 10 minutes will be
transmitted to a Central Receiving
Station established at C-WET, Chennai
through GPRS mode. The implementation of
the project has started from February
2011 and all stations have already been
installed, completed and commissioned. The monthly average (daily) wise
data received from each SRRA station is
available with C-WET.
The quality checking process of the data
is on.
