Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- In Uzbekistan, as part of the development of the "green economy", a number of innovative projects are being developed, including a project to create and develop high-speed chargers for electric vehicles based on the use of solar energy.

As is known, in resolution with the Decree of the President of the country “On measures for the development of renewable and hydrogen energy in the Republic of Uzbekistan”, the National Research Institute of Renewable Energy Sources was established under the Ministry of Energy.

According to the resolution, the Research Center for Hydrogen Energy and the Laboratory for Testing and Certification of Renewable and Hydrogen Energy Technologies were organized at the Institute, in which a number of thematic scientific studies are currently being carried out.

In particular, with the technical support of the Chinese company Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., the Institute has been allocated 20 electric vehicles, on the basis of which scientific research will be carried out. This is due to the fact that electric vehicles are an integral part of the green economy, and in particular the development of green energy. 

It should be noted that solar panels with a total capacity of 48 kWh are installed on the territory of the Institute itself, on the basis of which electricity is generated that provides the organization uninterrupted power supply.

To accelerate the development of the industry, scientists of the Institute are implementing a number of research projects.

The first of them is the Project for the creation and development of high-speed chargers for electric vehicles using solar technology.

The goal of the project is to develop, taking into account the climatic conditions of Uzbekistan, for the introduction in all regions of devices for fast charging of electric vehicles, which will operate in parallel with the local power grid, through solar photovoltaic stations with an energy storage system.

As a result, each such system installed in the country will generate 32 thousand kWh of electricity per year, which is designed to charge 950 electric vehicles, and in addition, save 11.2 thousand cubic meters of natural gas and prevent the emission of 19.8 tons of harmful gases into the atmosphere. substances.

The theme of the second project being developed by the Institute is the development and preparation of a feasibility study for the introduction of solar photovoltaic systems in the central electric grid.

The project envisages the development of specific solutions, feasibility studies and criteria for the safe operation of photovoltaic systems in the regions of the country, taking into account climatic conditions.

It is envisaged that photovoltaic systems will be able to be used in all sectors of the economy, in residential areas, private and public enterprises connected to a common grid.

The advantage is that the electricity generated by photovoltaics is transferred to the grid with minimal losses. Recommendations will be developed for connecting photovoltaic systems to the grid and tariff mechanisms, taking into account the climatic conditions of the regions.

Third project: Small-scale production of weather stations for measuring solar radiation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, precipitation.

The Project, which will be jointly implemented by the Ministry of Energy and Uzhydromet, is planned to involve higher educational institutions, industrial enterprises, as well as farms and other types of entrepreneurship.

This will make it possible to build solar and wind stations in the country on the basis of a database obtained at meteorological stations, thereby more accurately predicting metrological changes, ensuring maximum efficiency in the operation of solar and wind farms.

In order to further develop the field of renewable and hydrogen energy, the Institute plans to recruit new specialists, promising youth, and researchers. Specialists wishing to conduct research in this area can contact the administration of the Institute.
