The PV system with a rated output of 265 kW ensures that the entire resort system is supplied with a high level of PV energy. A professional Solar-Log Energy Management System from Solare Datensysteme GmbH is in use to detect problems around the plant at an early stage and to regulate the self-consumption efficiently. Longer failures of the PV system, caused by faults, can be prevented with the Solar-Log solution. In addition, it is also possible to make perfect use of the self-produced power by the company itself.
Ensuring optimal use of the hybrid system
As there are frequent grid failures at this location, diesel generators are used to bridge the gap. A power management system consisting of the Solar-Log energy management system and an individual PLC solution (programmable logic controller) coordinates the cooperation between the PV system and the diesel generator. This ensures optimal use of both systems in case of network problems.
Financing by the Lebanese Central Bank
The plant was installed by Ecosys, a renowned Lebanese company that offers intelligent solutions in the field of renewable energy. The financing was provided by the Lebanese Central Bank (BLF) with its national financing mechanism "NEEREA" (National Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Action). This mechanism has been set up specifically to support renewable energy projects in Lebanon.
