Description
The main objective of the project is implementation of a photovoltaic system in order to assure electricity from renewable resources for the production process, to reduce CO2 emissions and to achieve energy independence. A feasibility study was conducted, and the results concluded that by placing a photovoltaic system on the roof of the production halls with a total area of 9.800 sq meter within the production unit.
The technical solution proposes developing a 999,635 KW photovoltaic plant with direct energy injection into the company''s own network. The photovoltaic plant will be connected to the electricity grid, without active energy injection into the distribution operator''s grid, only for own consumption purposes. The photovoltaic panels will be placed on the roof of the two production halls. For the conversion of photovoltaic energy, 16 inverters with nominal power of 50 KW each will be used. The photovoltaic plant will produce 1.041 MWh/year for own consumption. The facility operates mainly on electricity, as in the production unit there are several equipment used in the plate production and production lines which work exclusively on electricity. The total consumption of energy of the production unit is 19.082 MWh/year.
Key activities include:
- Delivery of equipment and installations of PV system.
- Internal project management.
- Financial audit.
- Publicity to ensure the visibility of the project.
The current project is representing an important step for the long term development strategy for increasing company''s energy independence. Its implementation reduces energy consumption from conventional sources, energy cost economy and gives a partial energy autonomy.
Summary of project results
The project aimed to increase green energy production for company''s own consumption.
One photovoltaic system was set up having an installed capacity of 1 MW, number of staff trained in the project 6 employees.
The photovoltaic plant is producing 1.041 MWh/year for own consumption.
