Solar Array Package for Caruthersville School District including:
100kW PV System at the Elementary School :906 Henrietta Ave,
85kW PV Sytem at the Field House :1700 Ward Av
100kW PV System at the South Side School : 1611 Ward Ave.
Project Details:
- Power one 54×500 broiler house with all electric power from SAS micro-grid-on Pow Co
- Using: 120KW of solar PV panels, 175 KWH of usable battery storage, 40 KW generator
- Converting “wasted” PV power to usable for heat / cooling using 8 tons of heat pump capacity
- Estimate replacing 25-35% gas usage for heat = dry heat, lower humidity, better litter conditions
- Estimate lowering cool pad usage = less water use, lower humidity, better bird cooling
- Projected overall production cost savings of $2000 – $3000 per year, per house
- Control Shed houses batteries, inverters, all switches, metering, A/C conference area and outside covered area for diesel generator and 250 gal fuel tank
- Separate enterance into the SAS system area for bio-security
- House#2 will be powered by SAS system completely, House#1 will remain as-is for camparison
- Al power usage / fuel usage / water usage for both houses will be monitored
Additional Benefits:
- Long term power cost and power quality stabilization
- Decreased castastrophic risk for grower / integrator = multiple power sources
- Positive Envioronmental Impacts – 1.5 / wk Broiler Complex = 12.250 TON of GHG caputured
- Potentially lower wind speed requirements for cooling
- Potentially decrease cool pad requirements
