Objective
This project aims to demonstrate the concept of a big size, very high reliable, mobile and isolated Photovoltaic System (PV) for remote areas without grid connection. With a very easy and fast set-up it will be shown that photovoltaics are cost competitive and technically advantageous, compared to the use of diesel generator sets, even in remote locations were power is to be delivered during a provisional time frame. Within the frame of this project a total photovoltaic power of 14kWp will be installed on 4 trailers, which could be driven by 4WD car or van. Three towable 4.4 kWp PV systems genset backup, will be build and used in supplying power to Mobile Telephone Telecom sites of Telecel, a major GSM cellular telephone company in Portugal, during the period between the site launching and the construction of definite PV based systems or the power line.
The purpose of the project is to supply electric power to a GSM cellular telephone transmitter station far away from any grid connection. The sites were the systems will be installed are located inside of Natural Parks, Reserves and Landscaped Protected areas, were power lines are difficult to install and costly due to its remoteness; The use of these systems will avoid the use of noisy and pollutant diesel gensets, thus reducing visual, aural and emission pollution.
The totally mobile power supply of a telecommunication station by photovoltaic power is one of the most ambitious projects of the last years. Our system feature, in addition to the towable concept, is one of the most complete and reliable data acquisition systems on the international market.
The bigger subsystem will consist of a photovoltaic array, made up of 40 ISOFOTON 110 Wp modules, with a total power of 4,4 kWp and a storage battery with 26 V rated voltage and 1500 Ah at C100, which will store 39 kWh energy for subsequent use. The systems will be equipped with a small diesel back-up generator with automatically start up function if there is any failure or deep discharge of the battery.
The regulation and control system will be managed by a powerful microprocessor which takes into account, among other things, voltage, accumulator capacity and temperature. It will provide two charge states : quick or float charge. The data acquisition system and the possibility of working with a modem will facilitate, to a large extent, the maintenance and repair in case of any failures and greatly improve the reliability of the mobile photovoltaic system.
