Transformation of Solar Energy to Electricity with Photovoltaic Systems, Reduction of Electrical Consumption and Installation of LED Lamps in the ITSAO

Abstract

In this work of technological development and research is presented the work done in the ITSAO to contribute to the use of clean energy such as photovoltaics and the implementation of activities to reduce electricity consumption by the technological community, the monitoring of electricity consumption is made on a monthly basis and an annual report is prepared in which the consumption monitoring and the reduction percentage thereof are shown by tables and graphs. The students of electronic Engineering carry out activities of optoelectronics and sustainable development where they intervene with the design and installation of photovoltaic systems that are part of their academic formation. It has a photovoltaic system that produces 2.16 kW-h / d and another will be installed to have photovoltaic energy in the tables of the ITSAO planters; these actions are part of the operational control related to the energy of the Integral Management System (SGI).

Improved Design and Recommendations for Street Lighting in Gitega City

“…Depending on the function, the aesthetic appearance, the space and the environment, several types of supports can be identified, for example, poles made of steel, aluminum, cast iron, concrete, wooden etc. [6,14].…”

“…This is an important parameter when calculating any type of solar power plant (SPP). However, in order to improve the energy efficiency of photovoltaic lighting systems, it is necessary to use both high-efficiency photovoltaic modules as well as efficient batteries and charge regulators for energy storage and management; but also it is essential to use luminaires with high energetic efficiency (number of lumens/Watt) [3][4][5][6][7][8].…”
