TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The disclosed subject matter relates generally to generation of electrical energy in a power plant. More particularly, the disclosed subject matter relates to a system for inducing electrical excitation in a solar radiation collector for the generation of electrical energy.
BACKGROUND
[001] Conventionally, non-renewable energy based power plants have been entrusted with generation and distribution of electrical energy throughout the world. However, application of these resources have had severe deleterious effects on the Earth's atmosphere. These deleterious effects range from emission of harmful greenhouse gases to creation of non-processable land waste. Fortunately, increased awareness about the deleterious effects of use of non-renewable energy resources has led to development of alternate energy generation methods.
[002] The most popular alternatives that have been exploited for energy generation in the recent years include wind energy, hydro energy, solar energy etc. Though, available in abundance, application of renewable resources for energy generation does have its own limitations. Firstly, their application requires setting up cost-intensive plants that require enormous area that should be specifically demarcated in a location that is abundant in the said energy resource. Secondly, the plant might be underutilized due to time-bound availability of some renewable energy resources, for example, sunlight. Recently some advancements have been made to optimize the use of these power plants, however they are still in nascent stages. Power plants based on renewable energy resources cannot become a viable power generation alternative as long as their intermittent nature is not addressed.

The electrolytes 508a-508c may facilitate the first electrodes 504a-504c and the second electrodes 506a-506c to harvest the electrons produced by the microorganisms present in the electrolytes 508a-508c to generate the electrical energy. In one embodiment, the number of electrons harvested from the electrolytes 508a-508c may be increased by increasing the number of electrodes connected in the electric charge generating system 202. The electrical energy hereby generated may in turn induce excitation in the solar radiation collector 104. The electrical excitation may cause the electrons in the semiconductor material of the solar radiation collector 104 to move up to an excited state from their initial ground state. This change of state of electrons may facilitate further generation of the electrical energy that may be distributed by the distribution unit 110.
[0026] Although the present disclosure has been described in terms of certain preferred embodiments and illustrations thereof, other embodiments and modifications to preferred embodiments may be possible that are within the principles and spirit of the disclosure. The above descriptions and figures are therefore to be regarded as illustrative and not restrictive.
[0027] Thus the scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims and includes both combinations and sub combinations of the various features described herein above as well as variations and modifications thereof, which would occur to persons skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description.
