How research on solar thermal
The Higher Technological Institute “Catalina Harangue of Brown” runs the Laboratory for Research on Renewable Energy (LIP) since last September. The lip is possible through an agreement by which the National Agency for Research and Innovation (ANII) funds the project in which the UTU offers its premises and that one of them is in Montevideo and the other in Salt. In that sense, there are two people who are hired by the ANII, which are the engineer and technician Ramon Saul Vela Severe, in the area of research.
Within the UTU is working with students who are actively involved in the tasks you do in the laboratory. Consulted on this report, Saul Severe told PEOPLE that the laboratory “work with three types of energies that are most common in Salt: wind, solar photovoltaic and solar thermal. We also have an agro-meteorological station where measurements are made every day. “Severe confirmed that in both cases there are records of temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, rainfall, wind chill, and this occurs from August 10 this year.
“It connects a computer to the station and has all the information of every moment of the day, and then compared with measurements made on the panel, and there we have the performance results, how much radiation there, what temperature we have among other data, “appropriated.
According to experts, Salt is located in a geographical point where it gives more sun than the other places throughout the region, which encompasses the departments of Rivera, Arias and part of southern Brazil. According to Severe “solar map Salt located in a suitable, since it has an average of 5 kilowatt hours of sunshine per day during the year (and with that ability) are more than enough.
“With regard to wind energy, which is gaining ground Salt as it is building a plant of this system in the area of Salt Grande by a group of Japanese investors, Professor Severs told us that “with the measurements have done in the agro-meteorological station can say that is not profitable, because to move a small wind generator takes an average wind of 3 meters per second, and there is an average jump of less than 2 meters per second and not is not convenient.” The lips are planning to install a wind generator, which consists of a tower 20 meters high with a mill, along with eight photovoltaic solar panels of various models and types.
How energy efficient measures
The conclusions drawn from the first two days on energy efficiency, held in Palma de Mall orca, Oviedo, organized by the Hospitality Technical Institute (THI) and the brand Buyers, part of the Bosch Group, highlighted the existence of efficient solutions energy applicable to any hotel, regardless of size, type, geographic location or area.
That is, it is now possible and implements effective energy saving measures, so climbing and according to the needs of each facility and, in this sense, the Buyers brand has a wide experience in hotels with boiler installations, solar thermal, photovoltaic, geothermal, and cogeneration.
On the other hand, investment to undertake this facility is no longer an impediment due to the proliferation of companies providing ESES (Energy Service Companies) whose trade policies incorporate models
businesses with guaranteed savings (performance contracting, etc.) and initial investment very low or nonexistent.
There are also numerous lines of support and subsidies from the various administrations. Indeed, one of the objectives of this conference is to bring these funding schemes and how to access them.
Buyer’s participation, sponsor of the event, this conference hotel companies targeting techniques, is to explain to the sector in a very practical how to implement plans
