Cel Almost all stand-alone PV plants are equipped with battery storage systems. Batteries are expencive and heavy, have a comparatively short life expectance and need permanent monitoring and maintenance. Experience with PV installations show that for those complex systems battery monitoring and maintenance can not be guarantteed in remote areas. This leads to the demand of PV plants with reliable energy storage system at remote site e.g. in villages far from electricity network. The main objectives of the project are the following: To develop and install a standalone PV plant with an optimum combination of centralised and decentralised PV generator for energy supply of remote villages. Different concepts shall be elaborated and evaluated from the technical and non-technical standpoint. The efficient use of water as energy storage will be examined as an innovative alternative to battery storage. Due to the multi-use capability of pumped water storage duration, water is an ideal energy storage medium for remote areas in Europe. Furthermore it is a continiuous clean and environmental compatible energy storage. Water energy storage allows to meet the needs and capabilities of the population(no sophisticated equipment like batteries) causing higher acceptance. The expected results mainly concern the following: Development of a mathematical model for optimum PV plant design using pumped water as energy storage. This model will be validated with data taken from PV plant installation(s) that use water as energy storage The technical difficulties of a complicated installation will be confronted in-situ and the effectiveness of solar collection, storage and use of solar power will be examined.
