Integration of Sun PV Electricity in Centralized Heating Systems

Abstract

Abstract During the experimental research, an algorithm was developed as a guide for the introduction of solar panels (PV) in centralized heat supply (CHS) companies and a SWOT analysis of the developed algorithm action blocks was performed. SWOT analysis was carried out for a project implemented in practise and, as a result of which the centralized heat supply system uses solar power with a total capacity of 30 kW. We found that in Latvia, the areas that are suitable for solar panels are several times higher than those required by the systems. Main tasks of the work: to analyse and study available literature and information on solar PV integration into CHS; analyse available solar PV power generation equipment and technologies; develop a roadmap for easy and understandable deployment of solar panels in the company.
