PV/WIND ELECTRICITY AND SOLAR HEATING FOR ISOLATED FARM HOUSES

Objetivo

To supply electric pv energy to isolated houses and stables and to diffuse the pv technology.

Rural electrification of dwellings and farm buildings in the province of Pallars-Jussa (Catalan Pyrennees) 30 systems ranging in size from 94 Wp to 1908 Wp. All (except two of the four 12 V) systems have an inverter providing 220 V ac. Total installed pv - power is 24379 Wp.
One system [Cal Pui] has a wind generator (250 W), and two have a hydroelectric generators [600 W (Cal Miquel) + 800 (Moli del Pont)]. Six sites have solar thermal water heaters (2, 4, and 8 squaremeters with 150 and 300 l storage tanks).

Power subsys. : 1x94 + 1x225 + 4x300 + 7x600 + 1x846 + 9x900 2x1128 + 2x1200 + 1x1350 + 1x1800 + 1x1908
Total power : 24.4 kWp
Backup : in two cases : hydropower, in one case : wind
Nr. of modules : about 285
Module descript. : 253 modules : BP, type BP-275, 75 Wp, 1188 x 530 x 39 mm
32 modules : ISOFOTON, type M-75-L monocristalline, 47 Wp, 1220x328 mm;
Connection : mostly 2 in series (24 V) from 3 to 18 strings parallel, but also some 12 V and 48 V installations.
Support : on roofs, and on racks (solar towers and linear racks), generally 45 deg. inclined.
Max. pwr. trcker : none
Chrg. controler : ATERSA mp-60 (and some mp-15)
Battery : mainly FULMEN Powerbloc, series S-X, some TUDOR
Battery-Voltage : 12, 24 V and 48 V dc
Battery-Capacity : between 166 and 1800 Ah
Inverter : ASP sine-wave from 1000 to 3000 VA, 220 V ac out; and ATERSA CP600 squarewave for two 12 V systems.
Load descript. : lights and household appliances
Monitoring: Global monitoring:
Manual (visual readings, in 11 systems), Datasol (storage up to 6 month, in 13 systems) and Taps (2 systems).
