Generation facilities - PV system
 
- The PV generator is installed on the roof of the parking lots of the campus of the Politecnico di Bari.
 - It is made up by 242 PV modules with five different technologies, for a total power of about 49 kWp.
 - The PV plant is organized into five sub-arrays (GFV1, GFV2, GFV3, GFV4 and GFV5) that can work independently each other.
 - Each of the five sub-arrays is connected to the AC microgrid through an inverter able to comply with any reactive control signal coming from the network operator.
 - A monitoring system integrates the PV plant with a data acquisition device in order to continuously measure and store required electric variables.
 - The monitoring system is completed by a reference PV cell and a thermocouple to monitor meteorological data.
