Objective
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).
Nr. subsystems : 30
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).
