As it is known, in accordance with the decree of the President of the country "On measures for the development of renewable and hydrogen energy in the Republic of Uzbekistan" (dated 9.04.2021, No. PP-5063), the National Research Institute of Renewable Energy Sources was established under the Ministry of Energy.
According to the decree, the Institute has organized a Research Center for Hydrogen Energy and a Laboratory for Testing and Certification of Renewable and Hydrogen Energy Technologies, in which a number of thematic scientific studies are currently being conducted.
In particular, with the technical support of the Chinese company Henan Suda Electric Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd., 20 electric vehicles were allocated to the Institute, on the basis of which scientific research will be conducted. 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 45 kWh are installed on the territory of the Institute itself, on the basis of which electricity is generated, providing the organization with 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 a project to create and develop high-speed chargers for electric vehicles using solar technology. Its goal 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 that will work 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 release of 19.8 tons of harmful substances into the atmosphere.
The topic 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 into the central electric grid.
The project provides for 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 network.
The advantage is that the electricity generated by photovoltaics is transmitted to the grid with minimal losses. Recommendations will be developed on the connection of photovoltaic systems to the grid and tariff mechanisms, taking into account the climatic conditions of the regions.
The third project: Small-scale production of weather stations for measuring solar radiation, wind speed and direction, air temperature, precipitation.
It is planned to involve higher educational institutions, industrial enterprises, as well as farms and other types of entrepreneurship in the Project, which will be jointly implemented by the Ministry of Energy and Uzhydromet.
This will make it possible to build solar and wind power plants in the country based on the database obtained at weather stations, thereby more accurately predicting metrological changes, ensuring maximum efficiency of the FES and WPP.
In order to further develop the field of renewable and hydrogen energy, the Institute plans to hire new specialists, promising young people, and researchers. Specialists wishing to conduct research in this area can contact the administration of the Institute, the press service of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Uzbekistan reports.
