Design and implementation of portable renewable energy booths for generating electricity and solar heat

Abstract

The purpose of designing and building a multi-purpose portable energy booth is to educate, empower, and promote the culture of using renewable energy among citizens and secondly to provide welfare and support services on special days and occasions. The shed and equipment were designed, supplied, and built based on the following policy. The booths should have an educational and exhibition mode so that it is ready to be visited by people, students, and other environmental enthusiasts. Booths can be moved to different parts of the country on days and occasions to provide services. Due to the limitation of the roof of the booths and also the equipment that consumes electricity in the booths, the construction of an off-grid solar power plant with 6 panels of 545 watts and 8 batteries of 100 ampere 12 volts and also a solar water heater of 250 liters to provide hot water for the bathroom inside the booths It was planned. The sum of the total consumption of the electrical equipment including Lamps, misting fan, freezer,  32-inch LED TV, water purifier Standing split, and Laptop in the booths during the day and night is equal to 9404 watts throughout the day and night (784 Ah per day). This amount is supplied by batteries. After the design and installation of the equipment to familiarize the people and also for the use of the residents in the conditions where there was no access to the water, electricity, and gas network, the condo was tested for 10 days and its defects were also fixed. The costs of fuel transportation and electricity transmission are much higher than the use of solar energy in the garage. Students are also taught about renewable energy from this facility.
