Diesel / Gas based Captive / Co-generation Power Plants
Captive power plants are dedicated energy generation systems set up to supply electricity directly to a specific business or industrial facility. They are commonly used by large manufacturing units, commercial complexes, and data centers that require a reliable and cost-efficient power source. These plants can operate in parallel with the local utility grid, allowing the export of surplus energy when available. They can also run in island mode, meaning they work independently without depending on the public grid.
As a form of distributed energy generation, captive power plants produce electricity close to the point of use reducing transmission losses and improving overall efficiency. In modern microgrids, gas engines used in captive power plants can be seamlessly combined with renewable energy sources and battery storage to ensure optimized performance, enhanced energy security, and lower operational costs.
- Self-generation ensures power supply security and resiliency.
- Cost savings due to excellent fuel efficiency, especially when used in a CHP arrangement.
- Fuel efficiency has resulted in improved environmental performance.
How does a solar power system work?
A solar system captures sunlight through panels, converts it into electricity using an inverter, and powers your home or business. Excess power can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid.
What are the benefits of installing solar panels?
Solar panels help reduce electricity bills, lower carbon emissions, provide energy independence, and increase property value.
How much will a solar installation cost me?
The cost depends on system size, location, and energy needs. However, government subsidies (like the Surya Gujarat Scheme) can reduce upfront costs significantly.
Do solar panels produce power on cloudy or rainy days?
Do solar panels produce power on cloudy or rainy days?
Is there any government subsidy?
Yes, through schemes such as MNRE and Surya Gujarat, residential and commercial consumers can receive subsidies to reduce the cost of solar.
