PV ROOFS ON UNIVERSITY WITH OPTIMISED LOAD MANAGEMENT

Objective

To demonstrate and promote the use of grid connected PV generators in University buildings. The PV arrays will be architecturally integrated into the building roofs.

A total of 5 identical PV generators will be architecturally integrated into the roofs of 5 separate buildings at the University of Calabria. These will be connected to the local electricity grid without battery storage, and used with an intelligent energy management system to minimise the electricity drawn from the grid.
Nr. of subsystems : 5 PV generators
Power of subsystems : 22.2 kWp
Total PV power : 111 kWp
Backup : grid
Nr. of modules : 2436 (also indicated 5 x 504?)
Module description : Eurosolare type 36 MS/A, 970 x 430 mm, 44 Wp, with 36 cells (100 x 100 mm), polycristalline, sandwich: tempered glass/tedlar/monoester/tedlar.
Connection : 28 modules in series (462 V dc, in operation,
580 V dc, max), 18 parallel strings
Support : roof integration or on racks on the roofs
Max. power tracker: incorporated into inverter
Charge control : none
Battery : none
Inverter : Ansaldo and others
Inverter in : 462 V dc
Inverter out : 380 V ac
Load description : Power for the University buildings
Monitoring : In accordance with JRC Guidelines
