RESEARCH ON THE FEASIBILITY OF UTILIZING SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC STATIONS IN PUMPING STATIONS

Abstract

The possibility of using solar photovoltaic stations in pumping stations was investigated in the article. Scientific principles of designing a photovoltaic station, which can satisfy the energy demand of the consumer based on the example of a pumping station consuming 50 kW of energy per day, were presented. A consumer using 50 kW of energy per day consumes an average of 18,396,000 W of electrical energy per year. The presented photovoltaic station produces an average of 18,679,000 W of electrical energy per year. 283 kW of unused energy is supplied to the grid. Meeting the energy demand has a positive impact on the Republic's energy system. The demand for non-renewable energy resources decreases. Environmental damage is mitigated.
