LARGE SCALE INTEGRATION OF AC PV MODULES INTO A NOISE BARRIER ALONG A HIGHWAY NEAR AMSTERDAM

Objective

- Installation of an innovative 210 kWp grid connected PV system, production of 172000 kWh per year;
- reduction of system costs on an overall level through volume, integrated design and prefabrication;
- Evaluation of technical, architectural and economical aspects;
- Investigations of performance and impact on utility grid of a large number of parallel AC modules, including disturbances, harmonics, spikes, surges etc.

1. Innovation :
- fully integrated design of the entire system from the beginning, including serviceability aspects
- technical and organisational involvement of all project partners from the start; energy company, municipality, road directorate, building company, governmental organisations, PV consultants
- development and demonstration of innovative design approach and prefabrication mounting methods
- architectural integration of larger AC PV modules into a new to build 1650 m long noise barrier, including engineering of rather high structures and crossing a river (200 m of length on a bridge)
- multi-functionality of PV modules : energy production and noise reduction

2. PV cells in a noise barrier

3. Total costs Hfl.4972500
Electricity production 172000kWh/y
Conventional energy production Hfl.0.07/kWh

4. Monitoring for at least 2 years
