Ventilation Calculations for Inverter Rooms

This document summarizes the ventilation requirements and proposed enhancements for the inverter and control rooms of a 70MW solar power project in Bhadla, Rajasthan. It calculates the required air flow and exhaust requirements based on the volume of the rooms and number of inverters. It then proposes a new configuration using larger supply fans and a dedicated exhaust fan for each inverter to improve air flow. A financial analysis estimates the implementation costs and shows the system upgrades would pay for themselves within 1.37 years due to increased energy generation.
