Solar Farm
|
The Solar Farm is at the very back of the complex and provides only a modest amount of electricity to main output of electricity; however, the contribution it makes is still important to the complex.
Lot's of the energy produced by the solar panels will go into powering the complex itself as opposed to being fed into the national grid, because although thee function of the complex is to produce electricity for consumption, it is inevitably going to consume a fair amount as well, which means that at least some of the energy will have to be diverted back into the main power station to keep everything running as it should. |
Another key function of the solar array, is that it becomes most active in the daytime. This is when there is generally most electricity demand, so the electricity production of the solar panels at this time is important to provide a little extra renewable energy to cope with increased demand. The panels are raised up on a platform above the rest of the complex which prevents the solar panels falling under the shadow of anything else so the sun can shine directly onto them which increases their voltage output.
The solar base is located in the middle of the array and is positioned at the back of the solar array. The function of the main building of the solar base is to monitor the electricity produced, but because the solar energy is less significant to the running of the power station than the offshore wind farm for example most of the back of the base is dedicated to conference rooms and as the building is relatively close to the staff centre, it is frequently used as a spare meeting hall when the business centre is in use.
