Detailed system dimensioning based on real data Input data Targets to meet Real performance data from existing PV plant (23.04 kwp) Silence at daytime, gensets turned off Annual load profile with in total ~ 580 MWh p.a. Diesel genset topology (200 kva, 2 x 50 kva) Cost data, diesel price Significant diesel savings of > 50% IRR > 0% System stability Improved operating conditions for gensets Simulations Optimum set-up of PV plant and battery size In collaboration with Qinous team 4
Future size with 56 kwp PV plant and 80 kw/ 330 kwh Li-Ion battery storage & energy management system PV plant Li-Ion energy storage solution + Additional PV plant of 32,60 kwp 490 modules (Made in Germany) 5 additional inverters (Made in Germany) Module area: 80 m 2 Li-Ion battery with 80 kw, 330 kwh High lifetime Genset and PV plant control 20 container or small compact housing 60% diesel savings, 8-2 hours daily time w/o gensets Small compact housing just decided 5
The future plant with in total 56 kwp on limited space and 330 kwh battery capacity Diesel genset room PV plant PV plant PV plant QINOUS Battery Solar carport Organic garden Important view for hotel guests 6
Core levers for savings Substitution of diesel gensets by solar power at daytime Strong effect, considered in business model 2 Battery energy supply (stand-by) in the night (e.g. :00-4:00) instead of inefficient diesel genset supply Strong effect, considered in business model 3 Some PV excess energy (when battery is fully loaded) to substitute liquid gas for water heating Additional benefit, not yet quantified 4 Energy efficiency measures to reduce energy consumption Always recommended, which is independent from PV solution 7
Exemplary daily profile at high season: > 9 hours of silence (gensets off) Example for December Time without gensets 8
Exemplary daily profile at lower season: > 2 hours of silence (gensets off) Available solar energy, which cannot be used Battery fully loaded Example for July Time without gensets 9

Power in W - Off-Grid Power Conference, Intersolar Europe, Munich 207-2 Switch-off of gensets in the night, power supply by battery 40.000 W Daily fuel savings - Hotel Tierra Atacama 20.000 W 00.000 W P_Load P_Solar (AC) P_Gen (AC) > GENSETmin Deload Load on Bat. 80.000 W 60.000 W 40.000 W 20.000 W 000 W 00:00:00 03:00:00 06:00:00 09:00:00 2:00:00 5:00:00 8:00:00 2:00:00 00:00:00 2 Time without gensets (battery as stand-by power supply)
Summary of savings ~ 580 MWh ~ 22-44 MWh ~ 550 MWh ~ 320 MWh 2 Lever ~ 58% share of solar energy ~ 230 MWh Lever ~ 75.000 liter Current energy demand Less demand due to supply by battery stand-by New demand Solar energy at daytime with battery support Residual diesel demand PV-Battery-Diesel system provides high renewable energy share, setup is ready to increase battery capacity stepwise 2
Summary of benefits - Plant as a role model for making San Pedro de Atacama a green village In average 8-9 hours of silence at daytime and some hours in the night 2 Reduction of energy consumption due to no need for a minimum genset load in the night 3 60% diesel savings 4 Significant increase of genset lifetime 5 Reduction of annual O&M costs for gensets 6 IRR > 6% / payback time of 8 years 3
