Abstract
An experimental solar power plant (SPS) with a capacity of 1150 W that produces an alternating current voltage of 220 V with power frequency is designed and built. SPS device is equipped with electric power transmission network. The experimental performance tests of SPS have conducted for 3 years on heliostat field of Russian Institute for Electrification of Agriculture in order to supply low power equipment. During the work, the experimental solar power plant produced more than 1,600 kW·h of electric power. After the current emergency, which occurred as a result of overcharging the battery, a set of components for appliances has been changed, which led to its modernization and research to optimize the equipment set. It has been developed power circuitry, eliminating overcharging the battery. In an upgraded electrical circuit, instead of the charge controller, inclusive trip relay normally-open main contacts established between the solar battery and the cut wires “+”. It is proved that the replacement of the charge controller to the closing relay increases the reliability and efficiency of power plants, as own consumption of the closing relay is significantly lower than own consumption of charge controller.
