A Mifale Ceramics, located in Bragança Paulista (SP), manufacturer of ceramic blocks and channels for structural and sealing masonry, implemented in its facilities a solar power plant in mode zero grid, with the aim of reducing electricity costs.
According to a Matheus Barboza, designer of Solar Apollo, the company responsible for the project, the client estimates a saving de R$30 thousand monthly with the 411 kWp system installed power. “With the amount saved, the company will make improvements to its own facilities”, he highlighted.
In this project, 748 550 Wp modules from Dah Solar, four inverters of 100 kWp each, from Canadian Solar, and eight JNG brand stringboxes – designed to accommodate the DPS CC and fuse holders.
According to Energisa Group, this is a pioneering plant implemented in its distribution area, which will not inject energy into the distributor's network (zero grid). The approval of this project was a challenge and will serve as a model for new plants of this type.
“As Mifale ceramics acquires energy through free contracting (free market), it could not build a plant in the distributed micro or mini generation system,” said Barboza.
“With this in mind, Apolo group engineering, together with the client, devised the migration of all night working hours to the daytime period, optimizing the use of energy generated by the plant, eliminating the need to export surpluses generated to the network for the purpose of nighttime compensation”, he explained.
In other words, according to the designer, all energy generated by the plant will be consumed instantly by the ceramics, minimizing the purchase of electricity on the free market.
