PV SYSTEM FOR THE MUNICIPALITY OF LEGHORN

Obiettivo

The aim of this proposal is the design and the manufacture of a solar power plant of 36.8 kWp to feed the Leghorn-parking area near the Montenero funicular and the relevant recharge facilities for electric vehicles offering the possibility to promote the application of the PV power systems in the urban environment solving critical problems i.e.:
- Reduction of the pollution by the vehicle petrol engines in central areas of the town;
- Saving in the service runnig costs by reducing the power supplied by the grid;
- Availability of a convenient roof to house new service rooms;
- Demonstration of the technical and economical viability of grid connected PV systems in urban applications.
- Development of new marketing perspectives for innovative urban services.
- Test perfomances and real operative and maintenance costs regarding solar installations.
- Test the remote control of a PV system.
- Educational value for the population in order to push the use of renewable energies.

The project is at the beginning. No problems.
The solar power plant will be designed in order to grant the service of recharging electric vehicles and powering the funicular reducing the consumption from the grid. The solar power plant will be tailored on the present requirements of the funicular and the foreseen consumption of the vehicles recharge station which will be installed in the parking area close to the funicular up hill station. the energy will be also used by all the ancillary services of the parking (illumination, computer, TV cameras etc.). The solar power plant will consist of a group of 736 modules, 50 Wp each, series and parallel connected in order to build up a 36.8 kWp, +272 Vdc -272 Vdc, nominal generator. the modules are organised in 23 strings in parallel, each string with 32 modules in series with the centre of the series at ground. The group of modules and its relevant support structure covers an area of approximately 400 m² integrated into the service building of the parking.
An high efficiency microprocessor controlled IGBT grid connected inverter with MPPT control and islanding protection designed according to CEI EN 61727 specifications. The project has been approved by ENEL for the technical and bureaucratic aspects of the grid connection.
