Description
The main objective of the project is implementation of two photovoltaic systems with a total installed capacity of 0,81 MWp (0,62 MWp at Barbatesti station and 0,19 MWp at Bals station) in order to assure electricity from renewable resources for the technological consumption of two transformer stations (one in Barbatesti, Gorj County and one in Bals, Olt County) and to reduce CO2 emissions. The photovoltaic systems at selected transformer stations have obvious advantages due to high energy production efficiency, use of renewable energy, and reduction of energy costs.
When choosing the technical solution, the interconnected operation mode of all the stations was taken into account, correlated with the available surfaces existing in the transformation stations, as well as the internal consumption that needs to be compensated from renewable sources. The systems will be installed on available land area of 6.758 sqm in the Barbatesti station and 2.000 sqm in the Bals station. The metal support structure must be specially designed for the installation of photovoltaic panels on the ground and will have an inclination of 20 degrees. The inverters will have an efficiency of up 98,4%. The photovoltaic plant will produce 1.183 MWh/year for own consumption.
Key activities include:
- Delivery of equipment and installations of the PV system.
- Internal project management.
- Financial audit.
- Publicity to ensure the visibility of the project.
The investment targeted by this project has a positive impact on the company. Its implementation reduces the energy consumption from conventional sources, provides energy cost economy and gives a partial energy autonomy.
Summary of project results
The main problem of the Project Promoter was the high dependency on the conventional energy sources, including the electricity purchased from the national grid, which represents a high cost for the company.
The project consisted in implementation of two photovoltaic system placed on the ground, with a total installed capacity of 0,81 MWp, in order to assure electricity from renewable sources for the daily activities of the Project Promoter and to reduce CO2 emissions.
Outcomes:
a) Estimated annual CO2 emission reductions: 361 tons of CO2 eq./year;
b) Energy produced from other renewable sources in MWh/year: 1.183 MWh/year;
Outputs:
a) Installed capacity for production of electricity (in MW): 0,81 MW;
b) Number of new installations for production of renewable energy: 2 photovoltaic installations (at two transformer stations, one in Barbatesti and one in Bals).
Other indicators: - Number of staff trained in the project: 2 employees trained on the use of the photovoltaic installations.
The photovoltaic system contributes to decreasing the dependency on conventional sources by locally producing green energy which is used for own consumption. The implementation of renewable energy allows the company to decrease its annual CO2 emissions with estimated 361 tonnes of CO2 eq. per year.
