Aim of project:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate electrical power usage of a wheat mill with a detailed assessment of electrical motors and equipment to conclude a full transition to off-grid solar power with the most applicable efficiency.
Project description:
The study was performed on (Al-Alamieh) wheat mill located in Tartus; . The annual electric power consumption was about 5720 MWh/year.
Detailed inspection of the mill electrical system
- Thermography Inspection of electric motors.
- Electrical motor loads measurement.
Inspection and test results analysis
- Detailed assessment of the mill electrical system.
- Evaluation of electrical motors and devices.
Design of solar power system
- Technical study of solar panels, determination of required specifications and recommendation of suitable brands and specs.
- Technical study of electrical components including inverters, cables and chargers.
- Technical study of panels mounting structure based on wind loads, stability and permanency conditions were checked.
- Economical study and evaluation.
Summary
The study concluded in full transition to a solar power system, with recommendations in production process management to increase efficiency, the suggested system cost was guaranteed to be fully recovered in 5 years with conjugate zero electric bills.
