PV POWER SUPPLY FOR AN INSECT TRAP SYSTEM

Objectif

To demonstrate the concept of pv power supply using amorphous silicon modules with modular components and standardized systems.

NAPS FRANCE (ex: CHRONAR France) manufactures amorphous silicon modules. The 11.5 kWp system is supposed to present a typical demonstration project. First it was foreseen to supply the power for a telecom station near Montpellier. This project has been cancelled due to architectural and statics reasons. Now the power supply is used for a project of the ENSAM (Ecole Nationale Superieure Agronomique de Montpellier), near the Agropolis site: an insect capture device (EURAPHID), giving information on the influence of insects on plant protection. Nr. of subsystems : 1
Power of subsystems : 11.5 kWp
Total power : 11.5 kWp
Backup : grid (automatically in case of inverter stop)
Number of modules : 1048
Module description : CHRONAR, type CSB 13, amorphous silicone, 920 x 310 mm, 11 Wp
Connection : two subfields. Four modules in series (48 V). Each subfield has 4 times14 of these strings and 5 times 15 of these strings in parallel = 524 modules.
Support : 131 racks of electrolysed zinc-plated profiles, 45 deg. inclination on the ground
Max. pwr. trcker : data not available
Charge controller : yes, design CHRONAR
Battery : Oldham
Batt. (V) : 48
Capacity (Ah) : 2* 1700
Capacity (kWh) : 163
Inverter : LRCE (special design, 1 kVA permanent + 4 kVA for 5 seconds for motor start) + 300 VA inverter to 220V ac data logger
Inv. in(V) : 48
Inv. out(V) : 3 x 380
Inv. power (kW) : 1 kVA
Load description : uninterruptable power supply for asynchronous three phase motor 1100 W ac and 300 W ac for monitoring system.
Monitoring: By local micro computer.
