MELHOR APROVEITAMENTO DA TERRA USANDO TECNOLOGIA DE CPV PARA INSTALAÇÕES DE ENERGIA SOLAR

A escolha do local é incrivelmente importante para as empresas públicas que consideram adicionar a energia solar ao seu portfólio de energias renováveis. E algumas das soluções são melhores que outras.

O sistema do Gerador de Energia Solar de CPV 7700 da Amonix é flexivelmente implementado em incrementos de 60 kW (AC), para ser usado em instalações de todos os tamanhos. Cada unidade é rapidamente instalada, também, em três horas desde a caixa do camião até ao dispositivo de rastreio. E, no entanto, porque os sistemas são montados em pedestais, o seu impacto na ecologia local é mínima.

Duplo aproveitamento da terra

Não são necessários preparativos especiais ou nivelação do terreno. As instalações podem ser feitas em terreno industrial ou agrícola, mesmo em terreno inclinado ou irregular. De facto, possibilita a múltipla utilização do mesmo terreno após a instalação. Colheitas, pasto e outras atividades podem ocorrer junto aos sistemas. Os exemplos de projetos de aproveitamento duplo da terra são numerosos.

Mais energia por acre

A Amonix também possibilita um aproveitamento da terra mais eficiente. Dito de outra maneira, os locais que produzem a mesma quantidade de eletricidade com sistemas Amonix podem ser muito mais pequenos. Só são necessários cerca de 5 acres por MW de capacidade nominal (CC), cerca de metade do espaço necessário para tecnologias da concorrência. Cada sistema solar PV com dispositivos de rastreio avançados de eixo requerem 10 acres por MW de capacidade nominal.

Disto isto, o Amonix 7700 oferece a maior capacidade de produção de energia por acre, duas vezes mais do que qualquer outra tecnologia de energia solar. E para as empresas públicas, isso poderá ser a melhor maneira de aproveitar a terra.

    CPV Intelligence Brief 17 – 30 April 2013

    Amonix converts 36% of direct sunlight into electricity

    California-based Amonix, a designer and manufacturer of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) solar power systems, has converted more than 36% of direct sunlight into electricity.

    A module showcasing Amonix’s latest-generation CPV technology has been in outdoor testing from late February to April of this year. During this period, the Amonix module demonstrated a peak operating efficiency of 36.2% measured on March 14, 2013 with a DNI of 876 W/m2, an ambient temperature of 16°C and instantaneous wind speed of 1 m/s, breaking the previous 34.2% peak efficiency set by Amonix in May 2012.

    Over the entire testing period, the Amonix module earned a National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) outdoor efficiency rating of 34.9%, a new world record, under international standard operating conditions for concentrator photovoltaics of 900 W/m2, 20°C ambient temperature and 2m/s wind speed, breaking the previous 33.5% rated efficiency record also set by Amonix in May 2012.

    The module uses Boeing Spectrolab 40% high efficiency solar cells and Amonix’s proprietary CPV technology to achieve world record performance.

    SEAL BEACH, Calif.--April 26, 2013--

    Amonix Inc., the leading designer and manufacturer of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) solar power systems, announced today that it has successfully converted more than 36% of direct sunlight into electricity. A module showcasing Amonix's latest-generation CPV technology has been in outdoor testing from late February to April of this year. During this period, the Amonix module demonstrated a peak operating efficiency of 36.2% measured on March 14, 2013 with a DNI of 876 W/m(2) , an ambient temperature of 16degC and instantaneous wind speed of 1 m/s, breaking the previous 34.2% peak efficiency set by Amonix in May 2012.

    Over the entire testing period, the Amonix module earned a National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) outdoor efficiency rating of 34.9%, a new world record, under international standard operating conditions for concentrator photovoltaics of 900 W/m(2) , 20degC ambient temperature and 2m/s wind speed, breaking the previous 33.5% rated efficiency record also set by Amonix in May 2012. The module uses Boeing Spectrolab 40% high efficiency solar cells and Amonix's proprietary CPV technology to achieve world record performance.

    This result continues Amonix's long history of leading the world in solar module efficiency, having been the first to convert over 1/3(rd) of the sun's energy in May 2012, and the first to break 30% module efficiency in 2011.

    Western dreams: The Alamosa Solar project, the world's largest CPV plant

    The Western United States is a big place. The sheer scale of the landscape overwhelms; in many states you can drive hundreds of kilometers in any direction, through prairies, forests, mountains and deserts, without encountering a city.

    This land has always attracted ambitious individuals; after the Native Americans came trappers, prospectors for gold and silver, farmers, ranchers, those fleeing religious persecution, and more recently, hippies and entrepreneurs.

    In the Western state of Colorado, on the high prairie of the San Luis Valley, facing the wall of the San Juan Mountains, is one of the most ambitious solar projects yet undertaken. Above the rabbitbrush and greasewood are a series of 15 by 21 meter arrays of lenses, rising on hundreds of metal poles like an alien orchard.

    This is Cogentrix' Alamosa Solar project, the world's largest concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) project, which we bring you as Solar Server's November 2012 Solar Energy System of the Month.

    Report: CPV could be 30% cheaper than PV by 2016
    PV Tech
    Ler mais

    Improved technology and decreasing costs could boost concentrated PV (CPV) installations to 3GW worldwide within four years, according to research.

    A report by IMS Research said that advances in CPV technology would drive down costs by 16% annually, prompting an increase in installations from today’s cumulative total of around 160MW to 3GW by 2016.

    “With companies such as Solar Junction breaking cell efficiency records and Amonix capable of producing 34.2% efficient commercial modules, and focused on driving down system prices, acceptance of CPV as a utility-scale generation method is predicted to accelerate,” said report co-author and IMS Research Analyst Jemma Davies.
