PV POWER FOR MUNICIPAL INSTALLATIONS: TOILETS, BUS-STOPS

Objective

To demonstrate the feasability of pv power for isolated bus stops and public toilets in order to avoid installation of electric power lines.
The installations are operating.
Three types of equipment are used:
1.) Shelters at bus stops (288 W), 22x288,
2.) Poles at bus stops (4 W), 10*4,
3.) Public toilets (96 W), 3x96.
The equipment is prefabbricated and can be transported to the installation site by lorry with crane.

Load descrpt. : Bus shelter: Fluorescent lamps (18 W) with automatic switching, 2 hours after twilight and 2 hours before dawn.
Bus stop: Illuminated timetable for the buses with automatic light emitting diode indicator for the next bus.
Toilet: Fluorescent lamp (7W) during utilisation of the toilet, with passive infrared detector.
Monitoring : Irradiance, produced energy and used energy are recorded.
