Located in Benidorm (Alicante), it aims to feed the electrical consumption of a supply, and can work in parallel with the electricity company's network, connected to each other, so that both supply electricity to consumption, or can be fed from one or another source as needed.
Furthermore, as it is a self-consumption system without discharge to the grid, there is also a permanent monitoring system so that when a certain level of production is exceeded, with respect to consumption, it acts on the generation by disconnecting it before it feeds into the Distribution Network so the installation never discharges current, and therefore never directly affects the electricity grid.
The purpose of this installation is to install the photovoltaic solar system at different points of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), as far as possible, the electrical consumption is generated by the site itself, reducing dependence on external generation and becoming a self-consumer of photovoltaic electricity.
The modules are assembled on a support structure made of aluminium profiles.
The installation's layout determines the estimate of the energy delivered to the internal network. Depending on this and in turn on numerous factors such as solar radiation, climatic conditions, installed power of the photovoltaic field, nominal power of the inverter, shadows from nearby elements, as well as its internal performance, production losses and in addition, from elements external to the system such as the conditions of the electricity supply on which the production is poured.
Taking into consideration the series of losses described above, an efficiency of 70% has been achieved in the installation.
In conclusion, the annual photovoltaic potential for the installation in question, according to the data obtained above, is 71,100 kWh.
