Photovoltaic Farm System with Generator Backup
Private
2013
This is a typical photovoltaic (PV) medium scale farm system found on many farms around Namibia. Over the past three years this system grew in PV size from 350Wpeak to ~1200Wpeak.
System specs are:
- PV modules with a total capacity of 1220Wpeak
- 1200VA, 24V Inverter charger
- 40A Solar Charge Regulator
- 360Ah battery bank@24V
- Battery Monitor showing: state of charge (%), charging/discharging current (A), Battery Voltage (V) and time to go (h)
- Switchgear for submersible pump control
The PV modules are mounted on frames facing true north for optimal energy harvesting. During times of limited sunshine, especially the rainy season, battery charging can be increased by starting the generator. Should the AC load increase behind the inverter rating, the generator can support the system to cater for the increased load. No automatic generator start function is included.
Furthermore a second PV system for the Farm workers has been installed to cater for lighting and a TV.
- 2x 90Wpeak PV modules
- 20A Solar Charge Regulator
- 2x 105Ah batteries
- 350VA, 12V inverter
A La Mer Laundry - Swakopmund
for A La Mer Laundry
2017
When A La Mer Hotel in Swakopmund decided
to expand, they approached CTS with a unique challenge: to create a functional
laundry that was both energy and water efficient, and would also fit into a
small space, while being whisper quiet, so as not to disturb any guests. In
addition, the laundry has to perform excellently, producing quality wash,
tumbling and ironing results. Only one brand came to mind: Miele.
Miele recently launched new bench mark
machines, which have short program cycles, excellent spin performance, a
redesigned patented honeycomb drum and have low consumption values. A La Mer
Hotel was the first in Namibia to purchase these new machines.
CTS installed washer extractors with water recovery units, as well as automatic dosing systems, to ensure the best quality wash, every time. The tumble drier has an air recycling system, saving up to 60% of energy. And with a matching drying ironer, optimum finishing results are achieved. Small accessories made this laundry a complete turn key solution.
Containerized off-grid solar solution for the Kunene Region
Ministry of Mines and Energy
2014
After successful completion of the Omusati off grid electrification project, CTS was successful in winning the bid for the second phase of containerized PV solutions for the Kunene region. With the experience gained from phase 1, the containers were optimized in many ways. The final design consisted custom build 20ft container by Namspace in Swakopmund.
Sites that were electrified in the Kunene region are:
- Otjitjekua School
- Otjiu School
- Otjiu Hostel
- Epupa School
The project included the following:
- Upgrading of all government building wiring as per national standard for 4 sites in the Kunene region:
- Manufacture, supply and install container power units for these sites.
The power containers consisted of ca 2.8kW of PV modules installed on the roof as well as 4,500 Ah of battery capacity. Five kVA inverter charger and two 70A BlueSolar Charge regulator all from Victron Energy complete the system. Remote monitoring of all sites is achieved by using the Victron Color Control GX unit.
6kw grid feed photovoltaic system installed in Klein Windhoek
Private
2011
CTS was approached by a senior resident of Klein Windhoek to install a grid-tied photovoltaic system with the aim to cut back on the monthly electricity bill. The system included:
- 42x 130W photovoltaic modules and mounting structure
- 1x 6kW grid tied inverter
The system is designed such as to generate an estimated 900kWh per month.
Design, Supply and Installation of a 200kW Gried-Tied PV System in Windhoek
Quality Tyres Namibia
2018
A 200kW PV peak grid tied PV system was installed at Quality Tyres Lafrenz Industrial Area. Remote monitoring of all 10 inverter allows for early fault detection and system degradation as well as maintenance planing.
System Specifications are:
- 680x 295W Canadian Solar modules
- 10x Fronius Symo 20.0-3 Grid Inverter
- Roof mounting structure for IBR roof sheeting
- AC surge protection
- configured for remote monitoring
Supply and Installation of Laundry Equipment at Katima Mulilo State Hospital
Ministry Of Health And Social Services
2011
CTS was awarded the tender in July 2011 for Katima Mulilo’s Hospital laundry. The scope of the work included the supply, manufacture and assembly, delivery to site, installation, testing, commissioning and maintenance of laundry equipment.
Safety is born of experience. In the field of clinical practice, medical know-how and professional laundry care ensure optimum treatment and care of patients. For this, systematic cleaning, disinfection, drying and sterilization of linen and operating garments are prerequisites for avoiding risk to both patients and staff.
Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has to process over 1 ton of laundry per day. Our high speed washer extractors have a spin factor of 830rpm, greatly reducing tumbling time. With built in soap dispensers, the correct amount of soap is used each time, and the perforated lifting ribs mean more mechanical action and lower water consumption. The high speed washers significantly reduce water and electricity consumption, and still ensure hygienically clean laundry.
Miele offer rotary ironers with roller diameters ranging from 210 to 500 mm. Aluminium heater plates instead of steel guarantee an excellent distribution of heat and considerably reduced heating up times. The foot control ensures that the roller can be easily stopped, eg. for steaming.
A pneumatic lifting device creates a high pressure ironing action for an excellent finish. Katima Mulilo’s Hospital has the largest Miele rotary ironers in Namibia.
