GRID CONNECTED BUILDING FACADE INTEGRATION FOR THE ELECTRIFICATION OF A SHIPYARD IN PALAVAS

Objective

The project consists of the architectural integration of a 15 kWp grid-connected PV system on a building in the new shipyard in the municipal port of Palavas-les-Flots (Gulf of Lyon). The majority of the energy produced will be self-consumed in the shipyard, where the main activity occurs during the summer. It will supply electricity to the offices and warehouse. A new big module (102 Wp) from Photowatt will be used.
- to show the reliability of the grid-connected PV in France. The Palavas site will be visit by many people.
- to optimise the grid-connected PV to maximize the production and the auto-consumption so that the problem of the power purchase price becomes marginal.
- to prepare the large scale dissemination of this project (especially in DOM/TOM where the cost to produce electricity with traditional processes is very high)
- important environmental impact on those regions.
INNOVATION
- Conception of grid-connected PV in France :
The use of the Photovoltaic technology to realise grid-connected PV is at the beginning in France; due to the very low purchase price of the kWh by EDF. So, the fact to gather all the partners to realise a 15 kWc grid-connected PV can be seen as a major innovation.
- Conception of the supplying distribution between Photovoltaic and grid :
Due to the low purchase price of the kWh by EDF, the best is to consume the maximum of energy on the site.The daily consumption of the building will be established month after month to choose the optimum of the grid-connected PV.
- New PWX 2x501 module :
The project allows to use a module from the Photowatt company that is two more powerful than the standard module. - Guarantee of results.
