Solar Power Equipment Project of BHEL

The cheaper equipment imported from China have become a threat for Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited’s solar power equipment project.
            The Chinese dominate the manufacturing segment in the world market, and have a share of about 57% using crystalline technology as per one estimate. This is affecting photo-voltaic (PV) manufacturers worldwide. Presently it is estimated that the globle production capacity for solar power items/ equipment is in excess of the demand worldwide. This overcapacity coupled with cheaper prices offered of the Chinese manufactured cells & modules is a threat for Indian solar equipment manufacturers including BHEL.
            Government of India has taken following steps under Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) to protect Indian Solar Power Equipment Manufacturing Industry:
            All Solar Power Developers under phase-I of JNNSM, using Crystalline Silicon Technology, are required to procure Cells and Modules manufactured in India.
            As per Government of India, Ministry of Finance (Department of Revenue), Notification No. 25/1999 – Customs dated the 28th February 1999 (G.S.R. 161 (E) dated the 28th February 1999) Custom Duty Exemption is extended on goods required for manufacturing of Solar Cell and Modules.
            Further, all items of machinery required for initial setting up of a solar power generation project or facility are fully exempt from excise duty under Notification No. 15/2010-CE dated 27.02.2010 subject to fulfillment of certain conditions mentioned therein. Moreover, such goods enjoy concessional rate of customs duty of 5% adv. Vide Notifications No. 1/2011 Customs, dated 06.01.2011.
            The above information was given by the minister for Heavy Industries & Public Enterprises Shri Praful Patel to the Parliament.

CONTEMPORARY CITY FOR THREE MILLION INHABITANTS

Urban design by Le Corbusier, 1922 Exhibited in 1922 at the Salon d’Automne in Paris, the Contem-porary City for Three Million Inhabitants was Le Corbusier’s first comprehensive urban-planning project. Accompanied by a 100-square-meter diorama, it consisted of a rigidly geometric, centralized orthogonal plan with monumental axes, uniform modern buildings, vast expanses of open space covering 85 to 95 percent of the surface, and a system of highways. The project was seen simultaneously as a breathtaking modern vision and as the destruction of the familiar urban setting. Influence on the project ranged from American gridded cities, Peter Behrens’ work, and Tony Garnier’s Une Cité industrielle (1901–04, 1917; An Industrial Town) to Bruno Taut’s Utopian Die Stadtkrone (1919; The City Crown). By 1922 Le Corbusier was one of the major figures of the Modern movement, and the Contemporary City marked a high point in a period of extraordinary activity. It incorporated two ideas that he had been...

DOM-INO HOUSES

Housing design by Le Corbusier, 1914–15 and later Between 1914 and 1915, Le Corbusier, partly encouraged by his friend Max du Bois, conceived of a standardized system of construction using reinforced concrete, which was to provide the structural basis of most of his houses through the mid-1930s. These were the Dom-ino prefabricated houses with independent skeletons. The frame was to be completely independent of the floor plans of the houses. Derived from the Hennebique frame, it consisted of six thin concrete columns that simply carried two horizontal slabs as the floors. The columns and slabs were connected by staircases. Apart from this structural core of the houses, nothing else was fixed, thus permitting a great flexibility to suit demands on the basis of aesthetics, climate, composition, or view. The floor plan was also extremely flexible, as interior partitions were independent of the grid. This utterly simple and clear “open plan” method did away with load-carrying walls. Suppor...
