The thesis covers the reduction of electric energy consumption from the electricity supplier within the facilities of the Telekom Slovenije company. As part of the current issue of additional power sources for the use of renewable energy sources, an analysis of the building in Ljubljana Dravlje was made.
Telekom Slovenije's goal is to install solar power plants with electric energy storage on telephone station. In this way, the power stations would become a self-sufficient facility.
In the thesis, two cases of integration of a solar power plant into a functional location facility were analyzed on the actual example of a telephone switchboard. Namely, the first example is the installation of a solar power plant on the roof, and the second example is the installation of photovoltaic modules on the roof and facade of the building. In both cases, the potential excess of electric energy produced at the solar power plant was also analysed, for storage in the battery storage and later use.
Calculations were made for two cases of investment, namely for the case of the current and for the new higher price of electricity. The calculations showed that the investment is justified in both cases. In both cases, the investment is repaid, namely in about ten years in the case of current prices and in three years in the case of the promising price of electric energy. However, calculations for the case with a larger area of installed photovoltaic modules, installed on the roof and facade of the building, show us higher returns in the longer term.
In the case of the battery storage, in both ranges of installed photovoltaic modules, it turned out that the installation cannot be justified. In the case of installed modules on the roof we do not even produce enough energy. In the case of placing the power plant on the roof and facade, a surplus of electric energy is generated only in half of the year. Due to the charging and discharging currents of the battery and the limitation in terms of capacity decrease during periods of non-use, even in this case, the investment in batteries cannot be justified.
