This document contains the information related to the fulfilment of Milestone 3 of the PVSITES project, corresponding to the completion of the Building Energy Management System for each demonstration site

Deliverable “D8.5. Prototypes for demo sites - Second batch” is a report that contains details of the manufacturing and the technical feasibility checking works of the complete batch of BIPV and BOS products, intended to be installed in the project’s demo sites. D8.5 includes the second batch of products manufactured, those not reported in “D8.4. Prototypes for demo sites - First batch”. In this sense, D8.5 can be considered as an update of D8.4.

This document is conceived as a brief report that includes the processes followed and their corresponding results achieved so far for the successful consecution of the demonstration installations in the frame of PVSITES project. The document basically includes a short description of the installation, permitting and commissioning actions undertaken to carry out the market replication of the products and systems developed in the project. On the other hand, real pictures of the installation works and the final result of the systems have been chosen to suitably illustrate the explanations.

The present document constitutes the fourth deliverable on PVSITES BIPV products portfolio. All the products and families of products demonstrated in the project will form part of a BIPV products portfolio which will be available in different formats. A first implementation will consist in an online matrix whose elements will be each product and its related information. Secondly, each product will be turned into a BIM object (WP7) and will constitute an input data for the BIPV software tool to be developed in WP7. Third, the collection of products and product information will be the basis for dissemination materials (physical catalogues, flyers, etc.), to be developed in WP9. This deliverable gathers the necessary contents about the products, after the three previous deliverables (D2.6, D2.7, D2.8) in which the structure of the portfolio was established and the information available at M24 was gathered. This document is the last update of the products information

This document is a description of the difficulties encountered in executing the demonstrators, in particular, those related to the acceptance and use of the BIPV elements (as opposed to normal construction elements). The document basically includes a short description of the installation process, emphasizing the lessons learnt in permitting and commissioning, and, finally, the lessons learnt in the design and installation of BIPV Systems. Besides, the real pictures of the installation works and the final results of the systems come to suitably illustrate the explanations.

This document comprises the modelling description and simulation results of the different demo buildings in terms of (1) thermal performance using ENERGYPLUS, (2) electricity generation using PVSITES BIPV modelling tool and (3) economic performance using PVSITES planning tool. The objective of the presented analysis was to evaluate the different alternatives proposed in subtask 8.1.2 regarding BIPV integration, electrical layout configuration, and operation strategy to support the final selection of the most suitable one. However, it is important to note that final design was mostly determined by other constraints, like the availability of commercial battery packs for selected storage capacities.

This document sums up the delivered CIGS-based prototypes for test benches, experimental buildings and demo sites. An overview on the type of modules delivered, number of modules and delivery month is given. The changes compared to the initial proposal (estimation at proposal stage) are summed up.  Six products were developed. More than 800 prototypes were delivered to testing at demo sites and installed.  

The main objective of MS6 is the global assessment of the demonstration results, after the monitoring period of the real demo-systems implemented. The Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of products and installations must be also understood as part of this milestone, as well as the lessons learnt throughout the development, installation, commissioning and operation of demo-systems. All these studies constitute a complete analysis of the final results of the project and provide very useful information for the future assessing of the market replication possibilities of PVSITES products and solutions.

This document contains the information related to the fulfilment of Milestone 5 of PVSITES project, as defined in the Grant Agreement, Annex 1 (part A), corresponding to the reporting of laboratory tests for BIPV modules (CIGS and c-Si) and Inverters (PV storage inverters and SiC PV inverter), after modifications had been introduced in BIPV modules. The milestone was due for June 30th 2019 and has been completed with one year of delay according to the means of verification stated in the DoA “Modifications made within the project to c-Si and CIGS BIPV modules, together with 10 kW PV storage inverter and single-stage SiC PV inverter validated by means of laboratory tests (D3.9, D4.6, D5.4 ad D5.5 issued)”.

This document contains the information related to the fulfilment of Milestone 4 of PVSITES project, as defined in the Grant Agreement, Annex 1 (part A), corresponding to the completion of the demonstration installation process which form part of PVSITES project.
