Abstract

In this study, detailed information about off-grid micro solar power plant established in Tracim Cement factory in Vize district of Kirklareli province is given. Three 320Wp Gazioglu GSE 320 MP model solar panels are used as the energy source in the system. Voltronics VM3000-24 model inverter is used to control the power drawn from the panel, charge the battery and transform the DC voltage into AC voltage. While a 150W led projector is used as a load at the system output, sixteen BSB Power DB12-65 gel batteries with 12 V - 65 Ah label values are used as energy storage unit. The electrical data measured by the inverter in the installed system are transferred to the SCADA program with the help of Arduino Mega. Thus, while the data can be monitored instantly, it is also recorded. The results of simulation and implementation are compared and verified for a month of Sep-2020. The results show that simulation and implementation results verify each other.

Şebekeden Bağımsız Mikro Güneş Santrali Tasarımı ve Uygulaması

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Kırklareli ilinizi Vize ilçesinde bulunan Traçim Çimento fabrikasında kurulmuş olan şebekeden bağımsız mikro güneş enerji santrali hakkında detaylı bilgi verilmiştir. İlk olarak PV*SOL programı ile sistemin simülasyonu yapılmış ve ardından uygulama sistemi kurulmuştur. Sistemde enerji kaynağı olarak 3 adet 320Wp gücünde Gazioğlu GSE 320 MP model güneş paneli kullanılmıştır. Panelden çekilen gücün kontrolü, akü şarjı ve DC gerilim AC gerilime dönüştürülerek AC yükün beslenmesi için Voltronics Axpert VM3000-24 model inverter kullanılmıştır. Sistem çıkışında yük olarak 150 W led aydınlatma kullanılırken enerji depolama birimi olarak 16 adet 12 V - 65 Ah etiket değerlerine sahip BSB Solar12-65 akü kullanılmıştır. Kurulan sistemde inverter tarafından ölçülen elektriksel veriler Arduino Mega yardımıyla Scada programına aktarılmıştır. Böylece veriler anlık olarak izlenebilirken aynı zamanda kayıt altına da alınmıştır. Simülasyon ve uygulama sonuçları Eylül-2020 ayı için karşılaştırılmış ve simülasyon sonuçları doğrulanmıştır. Sonuçlar yapılan simülasyondan ve uygulamadan elde edilen sonuçların tutarlı olduğunu göstermiştir.
