SolarMax
Beneficiary of the grant: Green Energy Pal d.o.o.
Project name: SolarMax
Project code: NPOO.C3.2.R3-I1.06.0044
Project description:
Integrated solar power plants (ISE) are installed on roofs and facades, saving space, improving aesthetics, increasing energy efficiency and independence, and reducing the ecological footprint. We propose the development of a system for comprehensive monitoring of ISE operation, which provides better insight into efficiency, automatic parameter adjustment and optimization of energy production. The system provides recommendations for administrative settings, maximizes financial returns, enables predictive maintenance by detecting irregularities before serious problems occur, reduces costs and extends the life of the equipment. In addition, the system detects the causes of deviations from actual performance compared to the designed performance, thus empowering both owners and designers in existing and new projects.
Project objectives:
The goal of the project is to prove the concept to the TRL-4 level (testing in a laboratory environment), and success will lay the foundation for further development and launch of the SolarMax product on the domestic and regional market.
The activities and expected results of the project are:
A1. ALGORITHMS DEVELOPMENT AND TESTING
A2. PRE-PROTOTYPE CREATION AND TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY TESTING
A3. INNOVATION CYCLE MANAGEMENT
A4. CREATION OF DOCUMENTS FOR THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF INNOVATION
A5. ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECT MANAGEMENT
A6. INDIRECT COSTS FOR PERSONS FOR WHOM PERSONNEL COSTS ARE NOT CLAIMED
THE FEASIBILITY OF THE CONCEPT WILL BE PROVEN IF THE TESTING SHOWS THE RESULTS:
– R1: Successful operation of AI algorithms: The goal is to develop algorithms that will successfully recognize different types of irregularities in operation. We will measure the accuracy of irregularity detection (the percentage of correctly recognized irregularities in relation to actual failures) and the detection speed (the time from the appearance of the irregularity to its detection). DELIVERY: Software, Report;
– R2: Successful operation of computational algorithms: The goal is to develop computational algorithms that will accurately calculate key variables of a solar power plant – base production, efficiency, project values and financial condition. We will quantify the accuracy of the algorithms by comparing the calculated values with actual data. ISP.: Software, Report;
– R3: The IT system successfully connects all modules: The goal is for the IT system to enable data flow between all modules. The evidence is the collected results of all modules in module M6. ISP.: Software, Report;
– R4: The system creates useful information for the user, with a focus on hypothetical benefits: We will examine the possibility of creating useful results, including accurate calculations of key parameters (baseline production, efficiency and financial condition) and recommendations for optimal operation of the power plant. ISP.: Report.
