Abstract
The design of a photovoltaic (PV) generator for a refuge located in the mountains (+5 deg north, 4 deg east) at an altitude of 2600 m is discussed. This refuge has a capacity of 90 persons and is not connected to the grid. it is at present equipped with a 14 kVa diesel generator operating in a three phase plus neutral mode. This group provides electricity to various domestic appliances: lighting, heat (in the keeper's room), refrigeration, water pumping, etc. Starting from available documents and data, the task was to design the PV generator to be substituted for this diesel engine. The work was divided in several steps: analysis of the existing loads and of the corresponding consumptions, estimation of the solar energy available on the site, choice of the PV chain necessitating as few modifications as possible in the existing installation, sizing of the elements of the PV chain and scheme of the various parts, and modifications that can be done regarding the loads, and related changes in the design of the system.
