Description
In the context of implementing programs on reducing budget expenditures for the social sphere utilities, it is urgent to intrude renewable energy sources into the practice of their energy supply. However, despite all their diversity, not all constructions based on renewable energy sources can be used under conditions of urban development. Besides, the mutable nature of the solar radiation coming on the Earth's surface requires specific forecasts and calculations of its intensity. Accurate estimation of the area solar energy potential of the generating plant proposed location allows not only to justify its parameters at the design stage, but also to predict its operating mode and to evaluate its technical and economic efficiency. The purpose of the article is to estimate the level of solar radiation for Volzhsky, Volgograd Region, at the initial stage of designing and justifying the implementation of power plants transforming renewable solar energy in urban areas. In the article, it is proposed to apply method for estimating the solar energy potential of at a specific geographic point, based on a combination of the calculation method for determining the solar radiation characteristics and actinometric measurements. Volzhsky of the Volgograd Region, like most settlements in the Lower Volga region, has a high solar energy potential: 1228.8 kWh / m² for the horizontal surface of the southern orientation of the receiving surface of power plants, which can be increased by 16.2% at its optimal orientation relative to the horizon and the sides of the world. However, the expansion of the utilization of the solar energy potential of the district may be limited to the location of the existing buildings and structures at which power plants may be located in urban development conditions
