Abstract
This paper focuses on an industrial application where renewable power produced by photovoltaic panels is exploited to feed a pneumatic transport plant. The proposed system requires the careful management of the energy flows involved since it includes the interaction with the electric grid and with an electrochemical storage (battery) rather than the correct choice of the photovoltaic panel and battery itself. A dedicated control system needs to be developed in order to accord together these energetic flows, also providing a degree of flexibility to implement different control logics. The methodology employed in the research is simulation, which through the construction of a model in Matlab Simulink is able to reproduce the behavior of the system components and their energetic interactions for a long time period. The aim of the research is to provide a tool for assessing the energetic convenience of different battery–PV panel combinations. Moreover, an economical assessment of the proposed system is provided and compared to the traditional setup. Simulation results show that the proposed system provides energy savings with respect to a traditional grid-powered plant. The economic assessment shows that the system becomes convenient over the traditional setup within a time frame compatible with an average PV panel’s useful life.
