The project is aimed at increasing the energy efficiency and reliability of the water supply system of the city of Zvyagel by installing a 150 kW solar power plant with an energy storage system with a capacity of 300 kWh at the first-lift pumping station of the Zvyagelvodokanal waterworks. This station ensures the pumping of untreated water from the Sluch River to the treatment plants and is critically important for the operation of the entire drinking water supply system of the city.
The project involves the implementation of a modern monitoring and analytics system for the operation of the solar power plant, which provides continuous collection, processing and visualization of data on electricity generation and consumption, the level of self-consumption, the operation of batteries and modes of interaction with the power grid.
The implementation of the project will ensure the uninterrupted functioning of critical infrastructure during peak loads and emergency shutdowns, reduce electricity consumption from the network and the costs of the enterprise, and also increase the efficiency of balancing energy consumption. The initiative will help strengthen the city's energy sustainability, reduce CO₂ emissions and increase resource efficiency, making a significant contribution to achieving the community's climate and socio-economic goals.
The project has been prepared for participation in the competitive selection for the Solar Backup for Critical Infrastructure project, which is being carried out with the support of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The potential cooperation will ensure the attraction of funding, international expertise and compliance with EU environmental standards. Thanks to this, the initiative has a comprehensive impact: it strengthens the city's energy sustainability, helps reduce CO₂ emissions, increases resource efficiency and makes a significant contribution to achieving the community's climate and socio-economic goals.
