GRID-CONNECTED ROOF SOLAR PLANTS IN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOR TESTING AND ELECTRICITY GENERATION: A CASE IN SPAIN.

摘要

The use of photovoltaic experimental plants in engineering educational buildings contributes to an increase inacceptance of this technology by future engineers. There are some photovoltaic (PV) systems in educational buildings inSpain, but they are usually limited to buildings in relation to electrical technologies or research areas. They are not commonin other educational or official buildings. This paper presents the project of a grid-connected solar plant with two mainobjectives. First, different PV module technologies will be compared. Second, an emphasis on agronomical areas ineducational settings will be reviewed in an attempt to facilitate student engagement in the use of the power plant. The systemis grid-connected in order to pay-back the investment in the plant. In fact the electricity generated by the plant will be usedby the installations of the building, as it is the closest consumer. This work intends to approximate photovoltaic technologyto university degrees not directly related with it and at the same time research in comparison of systems with differenttechnologies. This is a good example of an solar plant for both optimum production and educational purposes.
