Photovoltaic system design for strategic infrastructure and mobile command centre

Abstract

With both the ecological and economical aspect of fossil fuels as a source of energy, the demand for renewable sources is rising. This paper aims to analyse two scenarios, which would benefit from the use of a photovoltaic system. In the first scenario, a strategically important warehouse is analysed, and a photovoltaic system is designed and simulated. In the second scenario, two designs of photovoltaic systems that could be used in mobile applications by first responders, military command centres, or during natural disasters are proposed. The results of the simulations are discussed and may serve as a basis for real-life system design and application
