Project OutlineHitachi Consumer Products (Thailand), Ltd., the end-user of the electricity from the PV plant, operates various industrial plants in a broad range of businesses such as agriculture, food, and consumer products, and these process plants are usually equipped with water supply storage ponds, cooling ponds and wastewater treatment ponds. Seeing the opportunity to 5 Location: Plant type: Solar PV Capacity: 8 MW Completion: 2021TSE aims to establish a solid foothold in the solar power industry while delivering other renewable solutions not only in Thailand but also internationally, specifically in Asia and Oceania. As of today, TSE has a total power production capacity of over 145 MW in Thailand, which consists of a mixed energy production portfolio of 16 solar photovoltaics (PV) utility plants, 14 solar PV rooftop projects, 3 biomass power plants and the most recently built floating solar PV plant in Prachinburi Province, which commenced commercial operation on May 25, 2021. This floating solar project is the company's first private pilot project with an installed capacity of 8 MW peak (MWp). The total project area exceeds 11 hectares with an investment value of over 200 million THB (approx. 5.95 million USD).Prachinburi Province, Thailandmaximize usage of the pond surfaces by adopting a floating solar power plant for clean power production, TSE proposed its floating solar plant, which is designed to produce 8 MWp of clean power for use at Hitachi’s factories. The idea was readily accepted, and both companies concluded a 25-year private power purchase agreement (private PPA).The TSE floating solar PV project makes the most of the ponds within the factory sites which supply water for plant production, by generating clean electricity using photovoltaic technology, thus adding value. Moreover, this hybrid utility setup has the further benefit that the pond water can be used to remove the excess heat generated on the surface of the solar panels.At present, the project can produce peak power of 6.475 MWAC. With the installation of 16,492 monobifacial PV modules with power capacity of 8.081 MWp in two ponds with an area of 57,094 m2, annual power generation is 12.54 GWh, or an average of 34,356 kWh/day.TSE's floating solar PV project, a collaborative partnership between private companies to produce solar power on water surfaces, is closely aligned with the country’s renewable initiative to promote clean energy and sustainable energy for the country.This is TSE’s first floating solar project connected to a private grid in collaboration with Hitachi. TSE aims to expand its solar power business expertise and build more solar plants to feed power exclusively to private companies in conjunction with the national policy of supporting environmentally friendly and energy efficiency initiatives.Plant InformationExecutive SummaryThai Solar Energy Public Company (TSE) recognizes the importance of providing clean, stable and sustainable power through a mixed portfolio of conventional and renewable energies to meet the increasing power market demand. Since its establishment in 2008, the company has set the target of becoming a world-class regional leader in providing renewable energy through reliable leading-edge technologies to serve the needs of both industry and society.Thai Solar EnergyCI Server Brings Efficiency and Reliability to TSE Floating Solar PV Project in Thailand
