The low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capability is one of the challenges faced by the integration of large-scale photovoltaic (PV) power stations into electrical grid which has not
Some sections in a plant will have only low-voltage supply, and others both low and medium voltage. There are multiple sources of power supply including captive generation and waste

Location and DNI availability of the investigated plant A conventional cement plant (Kotputli Cement Works (KCW), an UltraTech Cement Limited manufacturing unit) at Kotputli, Jaipur, Rajasthan, was investigated for solar thermal application.
Solar cement plant was designed based on cement production and the Direct Normal Irradiation (DNI) data available at plant location. Total thermal energy and the amount of land needed for the solar cement factory were analysed. Additionally, total mirror surface, number of heliostats, and land requirement are estimated.
There is no way that a solar cement plant can run continuously throughout the whole solar day. Therefore, several assumptions/constraints and modifications are considered and included in this model. The model is considered a solar calciner, constructed and tested at the German Aerospace Centre (DLR).
Solar cement plant operation during the day with a solar multiple (SM) > 1. Once more, the storage or conventional calciner makes up the difference between the generated calcined material and the design point. After the solar reactor achieves its optimum value, the calcined meal is immediately provided for the subsequent process.
