Grid Tie inverter-A bridge between Solar PV & Power-Utility Er. Murty K.K. Former Chief Engineer (T&C), MPPTCL, Jabalpur Online published on 6 February, 2020. Abstract In our country the Power is predominantly produced with the fossil fuels Coal and Lignite. The percentage thereof is 56.53% of total Installed capacity of 349.29 GW (As on 31.01.2019 Source CEA). These fossil fuels are exhaustible? The fossil fuels Coal and Lignite, right from their mining to burning to fly-ashes in thermal Power Plants, pollute the environment and also produce green house gasses leading to global warming. In order to minimize the said aspect and constraints, related to fossil fuels-thermal power generation, new concepts by harnessing alternate sources of renewable energy have been resorted to. Following are the alternate sources of renewable energy predominantly used for Power Generation-Wind Power, Solar Power and Hydro Power in our country. India being a tropical country, bright sunshine is available in abundance. Installed capacity of Solar Power increased by 8 times from 2630 MW in the year 2013–1014 to 22, 000 MW by the end of the year 2017–18 (Figure 1) The Revised Target by the end of the year 2022 for installation of Solar Energy Plants is 100 GW, in the proportion of 60: 40 i.e., 60 GW for Solar parks and 40 GW for Roof-top Solar System.
