Sažetak
The project “Photovoltaic power plant RITEH-1” was initially launched in April 2012. The goal was to realize a photovoltaic (PV) plant in the premises of the Faculty of Engineering – University of Rijeka with the guiding principle to build a "real" PV plant that, on one hand possesses all the features and components as any other commercial PV plant of similar type and size, and on the other hand, which would be a testing facility for performing laboratory exercises and scientific experiments. The project has passed all necessary steps and was finally completed in 2014 ending with the grand opening of the PV plant. The PV plant RITEH-1 is designed as a moving, non-integrated PV plant, with dual-axis Sun tracking. The PV plant consists of 15 serially connected PV panels rated at 235W each, giving the total of 3.5 kW. The plant is operating in parallel with the low voltage (LV) distribution grid, thus feeding all produced energy to the grid. The connection to the LV grid is done via a single- phase inverter placed on the tracker itself. Upon the opening ceremony of the plant, the PV plant has served as a testing facility for performing laboratory exercises within university graduate courses “Electrical installations design” and “Power plants”. The paper discusses basic operating indicators of plant’s past work, lessons learned, as well as all the benefits of including power plant RITEH-1 in the teaching process.
