PV power generation in SKYTRAIN
what is the system
2,Inverters: Devices that convert the direct current (DC) produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use in the power grid
1Solar Panels: Photovoltaic modules that convert sunlight into electricity.
The system refers to the solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation setup to be installed on the SkyTrain station canopies in Vancouver.
3,Mounting Structures: Frames and supports that secure the solar panels to the SkyTrain canopies
4,Electrical Wiring : Cables that carry the electricity from the panels to the inverters and then to the grid.
5,Monitoring System: Software and sensors to monitor the performance and output of the solar PV system.
fundamental needs
*
Energy Generation
: Generate renewable energy to power the SkyTrain stations, the SkyTrain or feed back to the grid, reducing reliance on non-renewable energy sources.
Structural Integrity
: Ensuring that the SkyTrain canopies can support the additional weight and wind load of the solar panels
Cost-effectiveness
: The project should be financially viable, balancing initial installation costs with long-term energy savings and potential incentives
Meet building regulations
:Meeting all local building codes, electrical codes
Maintenance and Durability
:Ensuring the system is easy to maintain and has a long operational lifespan, withstanding Vancouver's weather conditions
Safety
:Ensuring the system is safe to install, operate, and maintain, and no risk to the public or the transit system.
