UPNA Green Smart & Sustainable Campus

In addition, in 2024 a battery system to store surplus electrical power is planned. The project includes the installation of approximately 3.5 MW of peak power from photovoltaic modules in the campus’ buildings, generating an estimated 4 GWh of electricity per annum.

To optimise the system and maximise the energy efficiency, we are working with NAIR CENTER on the design of artificial intelligence algorithms. These algorithms, based on different variables, such as photovoltaic generation, current campus consumption, the energy storage system, the techniques for injecting electricity into the grid, and the price of the electricity market, will allow to predict photovoltaic energy production and control the storage system.
