Okhotnykovo Solar Park
Encyclopedia
The Ohotnikovo Solar Power Station is as of November 2011 a photovoltaic plant with 80 MWp
. It is the world's 4th largest solar plant and the largest solar plant in central and eastern Europe. The power station is located in Crimea, Ukraine and was developed by the Austrian company Activ Solar GmbH. The first and second phases of the project were commissioned in July 2011, the third and fourth in October 2011.
The park comprises 360,000 modules, generating around 100 GWh of electricity per yea, enough to meet the needs of 20,000 households. The larger capacity is installed in the plants in Sarnia
, Canada (97 MW), Montalto di Castro, Italy (84.2 MW) and Finsterwalde
, Germany (80.2 MW).
The solar power plant is part of the Ukraine's National Natural Energy Project which is aiming to reduce Crimea's dependence on mainland Ukraine for energy. The State Agency of Ukraine for Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation launched the project in 2010 in the hope of attracting investors to the reputed high solar radiation area, which reaches a capacity of 800-1450 W/m2 per year.
Watt-peak
Watt-peak is a measure of the nominal power of a photovoltaic solar energy device under laboratory illumination conditions. Related units such as kilowatt-peak or kilowatts-peak and megawatt-peak are also used, and in the context of domestic installations kWp is the most common unit encountered...
