1 SOLAR CELLS IN AUTOMATION - AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS DECENTRALISED ENERGY SYSTEMS GREEN TRANSITION 1. The SAI concept, solar cells in automation - and information systems, a physical device in the innovative design 2. Implementation of latest technology in the field of solar cells and battery back up 3. Works in urban environments, rural areas/outlying areas, natural sites, countries m. m. where there is lack of infrastructure in the form of an electricity grid Advantages function - Independent of the direct solar radiation. Utilizing the diffuse light - Energy generation via solar cells as design bearing element included in the design - 2 months energy production without direct solar irradiation with a fully charged battery back up - Flexible and sturdy construction in a stylish design - Easy set - up and servicing of equipment - The generation of data for new services and the dissemination of information without the costly expansion of infrastructure with cables m.m. - New opportunities for a billion people who not have electricity - Can be extended with the seating and roof Areas of application a. Dissemination of info-pylon for ex.: mobile pay, way - finding, load-bearing element in shelters, distributed and mobile electricity-supplementing, net charging of mobile phones, the support of the mobile networks in countries without a power grid m. m. b. LED-lighting in public space c. As part of a resource-saving technology d. Addition to Apps Product Trough character, tested, and tested as prototypes. Presented and set up temporary (shortly) in cities: Herning, Viborg, Århus, København and Skørping, Denmark Prototypes Performed by some of the most recognized Danish sub-suppliers with extensive experience in the execution of prototypes and new products. 1

2 The efficiency and reliability In the energy budget is only counted with the contribution of the diffuse light. At the same time building the prerequisites on one of the worst possible situations with regard to energy input, statistically the month of december in Denmark. The test and calculations on the pylon energy component shows that the energy budget for solar cells is expected to be positive under the normal conditions for all the types of S A I pylons. At the same time the pylon is supplied with accumulator capacity which can ensure continuous supply of energy and operation. State of the art The higher the horizontal solar cells are placed the more effective they are. Solar cells, which are positioned horizontally lying will receive the optimum energy during periods of cloudy weather and is therefore independent of the direct sun. The efficiency of the solar cells increases when the cells are mounted on a clear polycarbonate plate, where the rays penetrate. Interior space for the batteries is 25cmx45cmx115cm. With a battery capacity of 7 kwh - 10kWh can probably stored the energy equivalent to the average consumption of a Danish family of 3 persons in a one family house of approx., 12,3 kwh per day. The solar cells are surrounded by a dome that protects the solar cells, technical and mechanical. The combination ball and the horizontal solar cells ensures a smoother distribution of solar energy over the day. The dome has a light permeability of 91% and a transmission of 90%. The basic idea for the SAI - pylon is a horizontal solar area, which is independent of the direct solar radiation. Materials Gables: Brushed stainless steel, RS 316, lake weather resistant (danish standard) Fronts: 2x4mm vandal-proof laminated tempered glass Construction: Extruded aluminum profiles, custom-designed closure system integrated. Simple assembly of aluminum profiles. Short technical information Display: size (122x71cm). Touch option Solar energy collection: W (300W integrated solar cells on the back of the pylonen). Battery back up Ah or more (12V) At major high-bright displays are required a power installation. The solar cells provide here a current grants on 346W. 2

3 Idiom All vertical surfaces on the body angles 1 down. This means: 1. No rainwater down the glass facade. Rainwater is led away via the gables 2. Standing persons and persons in wheelchairs have the same point of view for displays. Flexibility and design When larger display is necessary the cabinet of the pylon become wider and dome and support elements correspondingly larger, which means that the expression/proportions and solar area increased. I e the pylon can be built in different dimensions on the same production platform. The development project External participants in the development project: - The test laboratory for solar technology/ DTI - Financial support from the Danish Energy Agency programmes - Cooperation with the Herning, Viborg and Aarhus Municipalities related to user-specification requirement on development time - Company GUIDE ApS formed with financial support from the Center for Advanced Technology (CAT) in Risø - Danish Handicap Federation, Aarhus, Denmark as a consultant 3
