Objective
To demonstrate the technical and economical potential of autonomous PV systems for agriculture and water management in Europe. 56 stand alone PV systems, each rated at approximately 1400 Wp, giving a total PV power for the project of 81 kWp will be demonstrated in 5 countries of the EU. The PV systems will provide power for pumping of animal drinking water, lighting, aeration of fishponds, and small scale water management for irrigation.
56 stand alone PV systems for various applications, taylored for each specific purpose. Installation shall be completed by January 1998, with a two year monitoring phase starting in January 1997. An estimated electricity production of 45000 kWh/year is expected.
Subsystem applications (examples) : fish pond aeration, remote shed, greenhouse, pig sty, stables, alpe cabine, waterpumping (irrigation)
Nr. subsystems : 56
Power subsystems : 1.45 kWp typically (0.5...2.0 kWp)
Total power : 81 kWp
Backup : fuel generators or small cogeneration plants, one wind generator
Battery : different sizes
Battery capacity (kWh) : 0 or 3...20 kWh
Inverter : different sizes in some systems
Inv. power (kW) : 0 or 1...4 kW
Load description : various applications in different systems
