Dear Krishna - Please send me details on nitinphansalkar@yahoo.com to discuss it further. I am a coordinator of DESERTEC-India. read more about DESERTEC concept at www.desertec.org
we bangalore based engineers wish to promote solar power station in Rajasthan desrets on comercial basis with public participation on profit sharing. you help needed!krishnabangalore, karnataka, india
"Recent search queries to this document" features 25 items - when i click anyone, i get the same "Thar Desert – The NextGen Powerhouse of India" - am i missing something here?
A back-of-the-envelope calculation: As written in the article, the solar intensity is 6kwh/sq m/day or 250w/sq m. Considering the cheapest and most inefficient method of linear fresnel lens having efficiency of 15%, the power produced would be 37.5w/sq m. i.e. 37.5MW/sq KM or around 1GW/25 Sq KM. ...and Thar desert area is 2.34 Lac sq KM (0.234 Million sq KM)! so now you can imagine the potential!!!
Thanks Mr. R Rajagopal for pointing out the mistake - it should be read as 0.234 million sq km or 2.34 lac sq km. Also, India's area is around 33 lac sq km.
Mr Phalsankar, Is the data on Thar Desrt correct? INDIA has a land spread of 1.16 lakhs Square Miles or roughly 7.25 lakhs Sq.Kms. Is the Thar Desert occupying 32% of the India's land mass? Next, U have not quantified the Power Potential - can U give some indication of the MW Potential please? e.g., Wind Energy - we have about 7200 MW installed in TN.
