Innovation with national talent: Celsia investigates energy self-generation solutions in a modern solar laboratory

This launch of Celsia is printed utilizing machine translation.

January 19, 2023. The way forward for photovoltaic photo voltaic power within the nation is analyzed in a contemporary laboratory created on the headquarters of Celsia in Yumbo – Valle del Cauca; with the assist of the Ministry of Science, Expertise and Innovation, and an funding of $1,600 million. All data is developed with nationwide expertise.

The effectivity of seven totally different photo voltaic module applied sciences, 15 kinds of anchoring constructions for these programs, 8 kinds of inverters with battery programs for storage prospects power, and a monitoring and management system are analyzed and in contrast. Likewise, overseas and home expertise initiatives are being examined.

Photo voltaic analysis for particular circumstances in Colombia

“That is the second model of a laboratory that we put into operation in 2015 that allowed us to find and make that leap within the power revolution in Colombia, which started commissioning the primary main challenge constructed within the nation in 2017: Celsia Photo voltaic Yumbo. Giant photo voltaic power is greater than a actuality in Colombia, and though some necessary steps have already been taken on the residential degree, this laboratory will permit us to do issues extra you might be positive. As well as, this house has grow to be a studying heart for prospects, skilled personnel, and the Colombian electrical energy sector. We’re ready for you right here in order that we will be taught and proceed to enhance ,” stated Julián Cadavid, the chief of Transmission and Distribution at Celsia.

Some related laboratory information:

• # of modules: 365
• Estimated annual era: 328 kWh/yr
• With the power generated, between 5 and seven% of the power wants of Celsia’s administrative headquarters situated in Yumbo (Valle del Cauca) are met.
• Tons of CO ² averted: 123.12 Ton CO ² / yr.

What’s being investigated?

• Varied roofs are simulated, from supplies used at residential degree to roofs utilized in industries, and even flooring or curved parking tons.
• Varied restore programs are carried out in order that technical personnel can study their meeting.
• Several types of inverters with built-in battery programs are analyzed, which, along with altering or adapting power for consumption, additionally serve to retailer power and use it at instances when prospects want it : at night time, when the ability provide fails or when time slots are carried out, to make use of the saved photo voltaic power in instances when grid energy is costlier.
• The monitoring and management system will permit Celsia to have a brand new communication platform and develop administration and management practices.

Help for nationwide innovation

One of many applied sciences examined is a follower or trackers , from a Colombian firm, which permits the panels to observe the motion of the solar, imitating what the sunflower does; which will increase the effectivity of the panel and subsequently the era of power. This expertise is used within the lately commissioned plant on the Caribbean coast, Celsia Photo voltaic Sincé.
