Objective
The aim of the project is to demonstrate a concept for integrating PV modules as a part of a new semi-transparent and highly efficient sound barrier. Bifacial PV cells will be used and 130 W module integrated inverters will be installed to be compared with a standard inverter solution. Total installed capacity will be 34 kWp. The noise absorbing parts of the sound barrier will also act as reflectors for solar radiation.
The sound barriers consist of glass panes reflecting sound into sound-absorbing (mineral-wool and galvanized-steel) plates above. In 500 m of barrier length the glass panes are partially replaced by bifacial PV modules (tilted at 60 deg. C), yielding 280 m2 grid-connected PV modules with 34 kWp. A standard inverter solution is compared with AC PV modules having small integrated 130 W inverters.
PV modules : Solel m-Si bifacial 56 x 148 cm 100 Wp
DC/AC inverters : fifty 130 W/230 V R&S, plus one 25 kW/400 V central inverter
Monitoring : according to IEC WG82 standards by Solar Energy Laboratory of DTI and NESA.
Installation : to be completed by October 1996.
