Solar diesel integration - Beirut International College

Application
Solar diesel integration
The context
- Product: ePowerControl HFS, ePowerMonitor
The college is dependent on Lebanon’s main electricity supplier which
unfortunately is unreliable. The power
cuts are regular and can last for more
than 4 hours. The outage happened mostly in the middle of the day when
the sun radiations and PV production
are at their peak.
To reduce diesel consumption, two control strategies were programmed and adapted to their needs :
- Grid parallel mode
- Islanded mode
Elum Energy products have helped Acemco in two ways:
- ePowerContol HFS has brought reliable PV integration to the existing diesel genset plant increasing its yield by up to 30%.
- ePowerMonitor platform has allowed precise PV plant performance monitoring for Acemco O&M team and a user-friendly interface for the
Beirut University to showcase their energy and CO2 savings.
- Layout:
- PV: 80 kWp
- Gensets: 2000 kVA
- Inverters: 4 x ABB
- Gensets: 2
