Another significant step toward the university's energy independence has been achieved — an autonomous power supply system has been installed on the premises of the H. I. Denysenko Scientific and Technical Library. This system ensures uninterrupted operation during emergency and stabilization power outages. A solar power station with an energy storage system has been installed on the library building’s roof.
Generation capacity: 14.8 kW
Total energy storage capacity: 19.2 kWh
System components:
- One solar inverter: Deye SUN-12K-SG04LP3-EU
- Four batteries: Pylontech US5000
- 34 photovoltaic modules, each with a capacity of 435 W
- Cable products and structural fastenings
What are the advantages of the autonomous system?
- Uninterrupted access to electronic resources: Ensures constant access to the ELAKPI institutional repository, an archive of educational and scientific materials.
- Increased citation of scientific publications: The ELAKPI repository is consistently indexed by Google Scholar, which enhances the web presence and citation rate of the university's scientific publications. This, in turn, positively affects KPI's position in the Webometrics ranking of the world’s universities, which takes into account visibility and transparency of scientific publications.
- Stable Wi-Fi: All library users will have uninterrupted internet access while in the library.
Thanks to this innovation, Kyiv Polytechnic strengthens its resilience, energy independence, and competitiveness among the world’s leading universities. KPI is always about progress!
