More than 13 thousand photovoltaic modules are lined up in 29 even rows. Of course, from a bird's-eye view, the stripes strongly resemble those same drawings on the margins, but there is no mysticism in them. These very “bands” generate electricity with the help of a celestial body. More precisely, they will only do it. Agidel solar power plant No. 2 will be put into operation in August this year. But the number one station has been operating for three months. And the content here is the same 13 thousand modules. The object differs only in the presence of concrete slabs, and of course the fact that it is already generating solar energy with might and main.
Adil Iskhakov, Executive Director of the generating company:
“We can single out several key positions of this project – the global trend towards decarbonization, that is, reducing the carbon footprint of all industries. Regional is the attraction of investments to the region, the receipt of taxes to the budget. And the municipal level – an increase in the number of jobs.”
And this is, perhaps, one of the very tangible results. Thanks to the implementation of the project, 15 new jobs were created in Agideli. And also – to attract about a billion rubles of investments to the region. It is also important that the station's equipment is more than 70% Russian-made. For example, the so-called photo electrical modules and the tables on which they are installed.
This is due to the reflection of sunlight from a light surface. And then the electricity is sent to a block-modular inverter installation, from where it is redirected to a closed switchgear. If the voltage is normal, the current is restored to a single electrical network.
Albert Mullayanov, Senior duty engineer-dispatcher of Agidelsky SES:
“When it's a sunny, cool day, we can give 4.9 MW of electricity. The average daily consumption of the city of Agidel is 8 MW. It turns out that on a sunny day we generate the consumption of our city with two stations.”
Electricity generation is an automated process, but you still can't do without people. There are always a couple of masters in the control room who continuously monitor the operation of the equipment of the Solar Station.
Alexander Bibikov, master of the operational-field brigade of the Agidelsky SES:
“It happens that the contact is bad in the connections. Here I have it immediately displayed the table number. If this happens, I immediately send an operational field team to eliminate the malfunction. So that there is maximum generation.”
Therefore, you will definitely not fall asleep at the workplace, every kilowatt counts. Meanwhile, the project for the construction of the Agidel SES can rightfully be called unique. Since the stations were located on the territories of the still unfinished Bashkir nuclear power plant. The sites have been empty for a long time, and now they produce energy here, which benefits both the residents of Agidel and the republic.
