DERC - Corrupted Implementation of SolarPV and LEDs
January06, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com

DERC is definitely world’s most corrupted REGULATOR. Here in the Press
Release there is gross Underestimations and Wrong Calculations. It has
not even specified the Wattage of LED Lamps to be distributed – 5W or
15W. Bulk purchase cost wouldn’t be even Rs.30 to Rs.60. DERC is
Always – Helping DISCOMS to Illegal Gains.

Piyush Goyal actually said in Cost of Replacing Street Lights as
Quoted in tenders with LEDs Lighting cost of LEDs is just Rs.120 and
street light LEDs are rated at 30W.

Even if we assume daily savings of 0.25 units per LED – it shall be
91.25 units annual saving per LED and it shall shave off Tariff
charged at Top Slab in bills so there shall be say @Rs.6 per unit –
reduction in electricity bill shall be Rs.550 annually and Rs.1100 per
consumer. For 7m LEDs annual energy saving shall be 640 MU approx and
Rs.495 crores. Since Delhi’s Domestic Consumption is 10 BU approx – it
6.4% of Energy Saving and 10% of Electricity Bills. Replacement of all
Domestic Lamps, CFL, Tubelights in homes would save 10% of Energy and
15% of Electricity Bills.

BUT REAL GAIN IS CUT IN PEAKING LOAD FROM DOMESTIC USE ALONE– 7M LAMPS
ON AVERAGE SAVING 50W IS 350MW LESS PEAK DEMAND AT 6PM to 10PM every
day, which incidentally is 10% or more of average demand.

BUT REAL GAIN SHALL COME WHEN SHOPS, OFFICES, HOTELS, COMMERCIAL
ESTABLISHEMENTS SHALL SWITCH TO LED & SOLAR-PV. They consume power
during daylight hours – SOLAR-PV shall directly Light Up Lighting Load
which is not the case with Domestic Consumers. Minimum of Energy
Storage is required for SolarPV for serving Shops, Offices and
Commercial Establishments.

Procedure for declaring Distribution Transformer (DT) Level
DT level capacity to be offered for Connecting Renewable Energy System
shall not be less than 20% of the rated capacity of respective DT.
However, the Commission may assess the DT level capacity through an
independent agency – This will protect Consumer’s interest.

Corrupt DERC since Constituted in 1999 on the Payrolls of Private
Operators didn’t come out with a single Consumer Friendly program.
They are helping DISCOMS to Rs.100 per LED Lamp.

SolarPV is Deliberately SABOTAGED by DERC – Here in above clipping –
DERC is Limiting SolarPV to just 20% of Distribution Transformer
Rating. Load Factor of SolarPV is 20% this means SolarPV shall
contribute 4%-6% of Energy Use.

But in case of a 1000 KVA Transformer in my area, Plot Area is 12500
sq.mt, Rooftop Area around 9000 sq.mt – So Rooftops can provide 1000
KVA Rating almost 100% of the Transformer Rating depends of efficiency
of SolarPV Panels.

All the SolarPV Power generation even at 1000KVA capacity would be
used up within area served by DT – therefore it is DELIBERATE MISCHIEF
of DERC. DERC is Always Anti Consumers – Helping DISCOMS to Illegal
Gains.

GOI Should Takeup 1 Billion LED Program – Invite Global Tenders.
