SOLAR CAR PROJECT

Objective

The aim of the project is to implement a delivery system in a town utilizing electric lorries powered by a PV system connected to the grid.

A 95 kWp PV system connected to the public power grid provides power for lorries through the utility grid. The lorries weigh 1500 kg, have 72 V batteries (8 kWh capacity), max. speed 50 km/h, autonomy of about 50 km, consumption 16 kWh/100 km.
Nr. subsystems : 1
Power subsys. : 94 kWp
Total power : 94 kWp
Backup : grid
Nr. of modules : 1944
Module descript : EUROSOLARE type 36MS / A2 - M 510, 49 Wp, monocrystalline silicon, 995 x 454 mm
Connection : strings with 27 modules in series, 72 strings in parallel
Support : on a south facing wall, to be selected, 30 deg. from horizontal
Max. pwr. trcker : incorporated in inverter
Chrg. controler : none
Battery : none
Inverter : type : ELETTRONICA SANTERNO line commutated with thyristors, with rephasing device on output and harmonics filter
Inv. in (V) : 490 V dc
Inv. out (V) : 210 V ac
Inv. power (kW) : 100
Load desript. : via inverter to the grid. The 15 electric cars are charged from the grid.
Monitoring : complete monitoring
