Solar Energy and Lighting
  • Kevin OFarrell,
  • Solar Energy Society of Ireland
  • School of Electrical Engineering DIT
  • Dublin Energy Lab

Outline
  • The Irish electrical energy generation capacity
  • The installed Irish photovoltaic capacity
  • The European photovoltaic capacity, and
  • The world photovoltaic production capacity
  • Hence, the inhibitors to the use of photovoltaic
    micro-generators are identified

3
Outline
  • The use of daytime artificial lighting, in the
    DIT Kevin St.
  • The daytime lighting load
  • The sites Building Integrated PV Generation
    potential
  • Hence, the potential load displacement from using
    photovoltaic micro-generators is established

Photovoltaic Capacity
11
Consider initial assumptions in relation to pv
generation
  • Urban or rural,
  • Size of a country (area population)
  • Latitude
  • 35-450 north 45-550 north 55-650 north
  • A countries existing capacity as a guide to
    future growth,
  • Relationship between pv solar thermal capacity.

12
Irish Photovoltaic Capacity
13
Installed Irish Photovoltaic Capacity
  • Motorway phones, parking meters, Irish Lights,
  • Road work traffic lights, garden lights.
  • A small number of experimental sites.

14
The EU Barameter data (EurObsevER, 2005)
supports the impression that there is no
significant installed PV capacity in Ireland.
Significant is used here as more than one MWp
15
European Photovoltaic Capacity
16
In EU terms the pv-solar sectors expansion has
been remarkable 43.4 in 2003
17
Consider the EU data for 2003

Inhibitors to the Use of Photovoltaic
Micro-generators.
21
Urban or rural Impact of population density
22
Urban or rural Impact of population density
23
Size of a country Impact of area, and population
24
Impact of latitude, and average temperature
25
Existing capacity as a guide to future growth
26
Impact of existing renewable capacity on growth
in pv capacity
27
Impact of grid connection option on growth in pv
capacity
28
Impact of grid connection option on growth in pv
capacity
29
Impact of grid connection option on growth in pv
capacity
  • A trend that has become more pronounced the
    share of photovoltaic systems that are connected
    to the power grid continues to grow, and
    represented 95 of newly installed capacities in
    2003, it was 92.3 in 2002.

30
Relationship between pv and thermal solar
capacity
31
Relationship between pv and thermal solar capacity
32

33
Relationship between pv and thermal solar capacity
34
Relationship between pv and thermal solar capacity
35
Relationship between pv and thermal solar capacity
36
Primary factor is the availability of a grid
connection option.
37
This implies development of urban
applications.It should be noted that in most
cases a grant was available only if the PV was
grid connected.
38
Ireland is a potential location from the
perspective of latitude, population density, and
existing PV capacity.
39
World Photovoltaic Production Capacity.
40
World Photovoltaic Production Capacity.
  • In 2002 the total world PhotoVoltaic module
    production was
  • 562 MWp

41
Irish Electrical Energy Generation Capacity
  • Total installed capacity in 2003
  • 4643 MW
  • Renewable 692 MW
  • Non-renewable 3951 MW
  • GHG 3951 MW
  • Non-GHG 692 MW

42
PV Capacity
Solar power as a major part of Irelands
electrical energy supply is some time away.
The effort to achieve it is gaining momentum.

45
The Daytime Artificial Lighting Load of DIT
Kevin St.
  • Lighting accounts for approximately 40
  • of the electrical load in
  • DITs Kevin Street campus.

46
The Daytime Artificial Lighting Load of DIT
Kevin St.
  • At least half of this load occurs during daylight
    hours.

DIT Engineering Student wins International
Award Joseph Brennan, won first place in the
prestigious international competition The Society
of Light and Lighting Young Lighter of the Year
2007 in London recently. Mr. Mark Burrows,
Jnr., Vice President of the Institute of Lighting
Engineers presented Joseph with his award. The
presentation took place at the Architectural,
Retail and Commercial Lighting show in the
Business Design Centre, London. 
64
The title of his paper was Effects of Light on
Humans. Joseph explored the way humans react to
both natural light and artificial light. With
reference to recently published research, his
paper went on to identify how an artificially
illuminated work space can have an adverse effect
on human health/productivity and how the use of
modern technology can address the problem.
65
Design for Colour Control
  • I have started to research this issue.
  • Basic aim is to divide a lamp into three coloured
    lamps and only turn on most needed lamp.
    Resulting in energy saving, and a content user.
  • First technicial control.
  • Then psychology issues.

66
First we should turn-off lighting,Then make
better use of natural lighting,Then supply load
with electrical generation.

absorbing almost all of the output from a
substantial photovoltaic micro-generator
installation.

The diurnal characteristic of a photovoltaic
module is erratic, with an underlying concave
triangular characterisation.
80
Power level is greater than 800 w/m2 for only
7 of an average day. The temptation is to
discard output of over 800 w/m2.
81
Energy availability forms an almost rectangular
shape.
82
Power level of greater than 800 w/m2 represents
42.7 of the available energy. This cannot be
discard.

89
Barriers to micro-generation.
90
Barriers to micro-generation.
  • Grid connection issues.
  • Cost Policy issues. Tax and grants. Kick start
    market. RD options.
  • Cost Need to move from one-off imports to mass
    import to reduce wholesale and retail price.

91
Cost of one-off imports
  • A 75 Wp module cost us 405 plus vat in March
    2005.
  • Prices tend to move downwards as production
    increases.

92
Barriers to micro-generation.
  • PR to public and professionals.
  • Training of Design and installation staff.
  • Technical R D.

93
Future
94
Future One barrier reduced
  • ESB Grid produced a new micro-generator
    connection guide in May 2006.
  • Start of a sensible conversation between Grid and
  • Micro-generation.

95
There is Potential Load Displacement With the Use
ofPhotovoltaic and other Micro-generators.
96
Most of this potential could be for immediate use
applications.
97
Future cost
  • It is rising on the political radar.
  • Nothing but talk on Tax.
  • Recent grant scheme (not for PV) received an
    over-demand.
  • Grants is part of Kick starting market.

98
Research Development
  • Nationally RD is limited but it is expanding.

99
Solar Energy Society of Ireland.
  • Forum for academics and industry.
  • Reporting Technical R D.
  • PR to policy, public and professionals.
  • Guide to obtaining training of design and
    installation staff.
  • Contact point.

  • Dublin Institute of Technology
  • Strong relationship with professional bodies such
    as IET
  • Broad range of research projects.
  • The School of Electrical Engineering plays a
    major role in this research effort.

101
Dublin Energy Lab.
  • DEL is a leader in science and engineering energy
    research in Ireland. It conducts research across
    a range of disciplines with key efforts in the
    three themes of solar energy, building science,
    and energy informatics.

Conclusion
Solar powered daytime lighting is some time away,
but the effort to achieve it is gaining momentum.
103
Appendix
104
Photovoltaic micro-generators operate within one
of three relationships to the grid
  • off-grid,
  • simultaneous operating from both photovoltaic and
    grid and
  • operating from either photovoltaic or grid but
    not both.
