EQ Conference Mumbai 22nd Feb 2017 Anjan Ghosh – Ujaas Energy O&M in Solar PV EQ Conference Mumbai 22nd Feb 2017 Anjan Ghosh – Ujaas Energy

The Solar Industry The industry is crossing the seed phase and entering the growth phase: grid parity is the inflection point. India’s solar market over next decade : Equipment: $6-7 bn (Rs. 45000 cr) Revenue: $ 4 bn (Rs. 26000cr) The growth will impinge upon : >Frugal cost base >Low cost, efficient financing >Regulation and Policy refinement >Project execution capability >Plant life-cycle management Players going through the growing pains in seed phase, their experience will yield strong dividends in growth phase. Utilities will acquire major share; Independents will serve smaller / private off takers in a fragmented market

Operation & Maintenance to Asset Management More than 100 GW Plants already globally to sustain and improve life cycle performance O&M – Activities to ensure plant performs as planned, optimize production , reduce risks, protect values and comply with rules and regulations. A.M – Financial, commercial and administrative activities to ensure plant revenue stream and returns.

O & M Requirements Each PV plant has individual characteristics and need: >Size, location, components, connectivity, contract, PPA etc >Roof top, ground mounted, multi MW etc >Specific regulations and environments Plan for life cycle performance is the O&M strategy for 20-25 yrs effective asset management. Plants will need optimal monitoring, inspection, warranties, insurance & the O&M plan should detail the maintenance philosophy: >Preventive Maintenance >Corrective Maintenance >Predictive Maintenance

O&M- Key Success factors Contractual: >KWHR >Uptime >Grid Support >Reporting Internal: >Budget &Revenue >Green Power >Operational issues-labour upkeep >Turnaround for performance fall KPIs: >Performance ratio- PR >Plant Availability >Generation: actual vs planned >Energy losses >Unscheduled outages
