ANALIZA PRELIMINARĂ DE VALORIFICARE A SISTEMELOR FOTOVOLTAICE INTEGRATE ÎN CLĂDIRI LA ÎNTREPRINDERILE TERMOENERGETICE

Abstract

The research carried out in this paper focuses on the study of the integration of photovoltaic panels into buildings, a solution known as BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics), which represents a new form of solar energy use: these are building materials, but these also facilitate the generation of solar electricity on additional surfaces and allow an optimisation of the overall operation as a main source of electricity and can also be seamlessly integrated into the building envelope and its components. In the paper, the opportunities for development of building-integrated photovoltaic systems at thermal power enterprises were analysed, using concrete data of the JSC "CET-Nord" in the Republic of Moldova as an example for further research, as well as determining the potential photovoltaic capacity of administrative and production buildings of the enterprise. This will help to improve the understanding of the impact of BIPV systems on the energy transition of cities and on the notion of near-zero energy cities in Europe, by identifying possible future approaches to BIPV that can be used by energy specialists as well as architects and urban planners to assess how much of the energy used by buildings could be provided by BIPV systems when implemented as building envelope materials across the entire building envelope.
