Objective
To equip 93 houses or sheepfolds in isolated mountain regions with electric lighting and power supply for electric fences.
The users are satisfied and demand an increase of power of their installations. Despite of the problems met during the implementation and the follow-up of this project experience showed the good operation of the different compoents in very unfavourable conditions.
The project helps to better implement further projects in particular by incorporating training and maintenance.
Global monitoring data exist only for two installation for some months.
Modest electrification of a rural, sheep pasture zone.
98 fixed, modular pv installations are used for lights in the shepherd's huts : 24 with one module (TK40, 40 W module) and 74 with two modules (TK80). Further are installed: 40 portable electric torches, chargeable from the fixed pv modules; 30 lamps with separate modules; 35 power supplies for the batteries of electric fences and 24 ventilators for the cheese-diaries.
Normally lead/acid batteries will be used, but 3 systems have Nickel:Cadmium batteries; for comparison these units have been monitored.
Nr. subsystems : 74 + 24
Power subsys. : 80 and 40 Wp
Total power : 6.9 kWp
Backup : none
Nr. of modules : 172
Module descrip. : PHOTOWATT 40 W,
Connection : single modules in parallel (in some cases in series of two)
Support : On poles, south facing, 45 to 60 deg. from horizontal.
Also on the roofs and wherever possible.
Max. pwr. trcker : None
Chrg. controler : Type TR1, reliable (only static components) charge and discharge (at 50 % charge) controller.
Battery : lead acid: VARTA; Ni-Cd: SAFT and VARTA
Batt. (V) : 12 V
Batt. (Ah) : 105 Ah
Inverter : None
Load descrpt. : Fluorescent tubes, type E (tropical climate) and type F (temperate climate, 13 W, with incorporated inverter. Some portable lamps LTS 5 W amorphous module have also been provided. These lamps can also be charged from the 40 W modules.
Monitoring : Two units have been monitored by ampere-hour meters. (Battery in and out currents). Intergrating solarimeters measured the sun irradiation.
