What type of solar power system design was required to supply peak loads at KUR-Cow farm?
Synopsis
KUR-World, also known as the KUR-Cow project, is focused on ecotourism development. As a conscious ecotourism-based industry, the project faced a quality of supply power problem with only one weak two-phase supply. To solve this, the project utilized panels, hybrid inverters, and a series of batteries to double the amount of amps coming in and cover immediate load. The system has a total output of 50 kilowatts of panels, just under 48 kilowatts with 20 kilowatts of inverted generation, and 80 kilowatt hours of battery storage, supplying peak loads.
The development will have multiple stages that include building an ecolodge and ecohotel. Their goal is to be self-sufficient as much as possible. The brief was between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM to accommodate the opening hours from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

KUR-Cow project or better known locally as KUR-World is basically an ecotourism development. It's only very new and it's going to be in different levels of stages. KUR-Cow being very conscious of an ecotourism based industry, they had a quality of supply power problem. They only had one weak two-phase supply coming in, and we had to literally double the amount of amps coming in. So we did that with the combination of panels and hybrid inverters, and a series of batteries just to cover their immediate load until another supply of megawatt size came through from another end of the development. The total output, 50 kilowatts of panels or just under, 48 kilowatts with 20 kilowatts of inverted generation, with a 80 kilowatt hours battery storage. That system helps supply peak loads.
Their brief was between the hours of 9 o'clock until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, because the opening hours is actually from 10 until 3. There's going to be multiple stages to that development, they're looking at building a ecolodge, ecohotel, and they want to be self-sufficient as much as they possibly can.
