230tons CO2/day ITIMPI CEC Photovoltaic Buffer

230tons CO2/day ITIMPI CEC Photovoltaic Buffer

AI Estimate: 230.4 tons of CO₂ per day.


To calculate the daily carbon offset from the 60 MW solar photovoltaic project, we’ll use the same logic but break it down into daily figures:

 

1. Daily energy production:

60 \text{ MW} \times 24 \text{ hours} \times 20\% \text{ capacity factor} = 288 \text{ MWh/day}

2. Estimated daily carbon offset:

288 \text{ MWh/day} \times 0.8 \text{ tons CO₂/MWh} = 230.4 \text{ tons CO₂/day}

 

Thus, the solar project would offset approximately 230.4 tons of CO₂ per day.

 

To properly calculate the energy storage capacity in ampere-hours (Ah) at 230V for the 60 MW solar photovoltaic system, let’s first convert everything to the appropriate units step by step.

1. Convert 60 MW to watts (W):

60 \text{ MW} = 60,000,000 \text{ W}

2. Calculate the energy produced per hour in watt-hours (Wh):

\text{Energy produced per hour} = 60,000,000 \text{ W} \times 1 \text{ hour} = 60,000,000 \text{ Wh}

3. Convert watt-hours (Wh) to ampere-hours (Ah) at 230V:

\text{Ah} = \frac{\text{Wh}}{\text{Voltage (V)}}

\text{Ah} = \frac{60,000,000 \text{ Wh}}{230 \text{ V}} \approx 260,869.57 \text{ Ah} ]

So, the energy produced per hour by the 60 MW solar photovoltaic system at 230V is approximately 260,870 Ah.

4. Calculate the daily energy produced (Wh):

\text{Energy produced per day} = 60,000,000 \text{ W} \times 24 \text{ hours} = 1,440,000,000 \text{ Wh}

5. Convert the daily energy production to Ah at 230V:

\text{Ah} = \frac{1,440,000,000 \text{ Wh}}{230 \text{ V}} \approx 6,260,869.57 \text{ Ah}

Final Results:

Energy produced per hour = 260,870 Ah

Energy produced per day = 6,260,870 Ah

This is the energy produced in ampere-hours by the 60 MW solar photovoltaic system, assuming a voltage of 230V.

Daily energy production:

60 \text{ MW} \times 24 \text{ hours} \times 20\% \text{ capacity factor} = 288 \text{ MWh/day}

2. Estimated daily carbon offset:

288 \text{ MWh/day} \times 0.8 \text{ tons CO₂/MWh} = 230.4 \text{ tons CO₂/day}

Thus, the solar project would offset approximately 230.4 tons of CO₂ per day.
