SHERPEC – Hybrid System of Renewable Energies for production of Electricity and Climatization

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to provide a description of a

Hybrid system of renewable energies for electricity and

climatization production..

Telecommunications is a vital sector and its remote sites must

be constantly supplied with electricity. It is then necessary to

implement a continuous and autonomous power supply system.

The SHERPEC project provides energy to a standalone remote

telecommunications site trough solar, wind and fuel cell electric

generators. In the case of lack of sun and wind, its autonomy is

assured by a bank of batteries and/or hydrogen tanks (high and

low pressure).

In the case of excessive electric energy production, the

remaining will be used to produce hydrogen (through water

electrolysis) that is stored for future use in the fuel cell.

The communication system allows long-distance

communication with the monitoring room.

In order to provide a better management of energy resources, it

is capable to manage the renewable energy sources in an

intelligent manner, carrying out the disconnecting of less

priority charges.

To reduce electric energy consumption as well as to improve its

energetic efficiency, it was implemented an air-conditioning

system using a solar thermal system.
