Summary of the project
Although theoretical estimates
significant potential of its solar energy use
far from the desired level throughout the South-West Bulgaria.
As part of this project will be built research
network in southwestern Bulgaria to research utilization
solar energy. This network is a collection of the required
information to evaluate the real potential for recovery
solar energy and energy efficiency. The first step in
this direction is the establishment of regional meteorological network
covering 6 typical region in southwestern Bulgaria, monitoring
the basic parameters of the environment. The information collected
will be dealt with on this project built a computer calculation
Cluster for Energy Planning and Management (KKEPU) which will
allow for the creation of accurate energy expertise
in the utilization of solar energy. Based
conducted by members of the collective analysis and estimates will be
build research ground in West University
"West University" including a system for photovoltaic conversion
system and Photothermal conversion. The track will be the basis
for joint training activities between SWU and local business and
population. The project is aimed directly at increasing the share of recovery
solar energy. Project activities are focused on investing
necessary in small-scale infrastructure, which could lead to
improving human potential and the quality of life of the region
as a whole. Implementing systems for the conversion of solar
energy and energy efficiency, which is a direct effect of the implementation
this project will reduce the threat of pollution from the use
conventional energy sources.
