Description

The objective of the project is to implement a new renewable energy source to produce electric energy, with no environmental impact. The solar power system enables to generate a portion of the electrical power from sunlight. The solar electric power system enables to generate a portion of the electrical power from sunlight. The solar electric system has been engineered to provide many years of automatic operation without producing noise or air emissions and without requiring fuel or extensive mechanical maintenance. The capacity of the photovoltaic power system is 0,99 MW. This will result in diminishing the actual dependency of the grid and will provide local power backup for critical installations, creating a safer and greener work environment and decreasing energy costs for the enterprise.

The new photovoltaic system requires the acquisition of 3.076 photovoltaic modules, 15 inverters, 1 metal structure for panels installation and 1 energy management system. The expected outcomes of the project include a 1.250 MWh/year increase in energy production from renewable sources and a 382,5 tonnes/year reduction in CO2 emissions. This will also lead to a reduction in cost related to the electrical energy consumption. The project displaces the need for conventional power generation by producing power from a solar electrical system and the project also secures the first step toward RadicStar''s energy independence.

Summary of project results

The project is finalized and the equipment installed: 1 new photovoltaic installation of 0,999 MW, placed on the ground, producing renewable energy for own consumption. 

Summary of bilateral results

The output of the activity of the Norwegian Partner is a report written on the structure of its deliveries (advise in selection and use of monitoring, planning and controlling software; advise in establishing an optimal operation and maintenance plan; how to balance consumption of local PV power and grid power; how to use the local PV power to secure backup power to critical installations).
