Five large-power PVIS, with peak powers ranging from 40 to 360 kWp were installed in real-farms of farmers, cooperatives, agro-industries and irrigator communities (one in Portugal two in Spain, one in Italy and one in Morocco) to show their reliability and economic feasibility in order to introduce them into the market. Furthermore technical specifications, business plan and a simulation tool for PVIS were developed. Finally, the technology developed was transferred to more than 20 SME. The main technical results of the project include: a solution to mitigate the problems associated to PV power intermittences due to passing clouds, the use of North-South horizontal axis trackers in order to match PV production and irrigation needs, the development and application of new performance indices based on the typical performance ratio of a PV system in order to understand the performance of each component of a PVIS. date_type: published date: 2018 pagerange: 1880-1885 event_title: 35th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition event_location: Bruselas, Bélgica event_dates: 24/09/2018-27/09/2018 event_type: conference id_number: 10.4229/35thEUPVSEC20182018-6BV.1.71 institution: ETSIS_Telecomunicacion department: otro refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-936338-50-7 book_title: Proceedings of 35th European PV Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition official_url: https://www.eupvsec-proceedings.com/proceedings/dvd.html comprojects_type: H2020 comprojects_code: 640771 comprojects_acronym: MASLOWATEN comprojects_leader: UNIVERSIDAD POLITECNICA DE MADRID comprojects_title: MArket uptake of an innovative irrigation Solution based on LOW WATer-ENergy consumption citation: Hogan Teves Almeida, Rita and Barata Carrelo, Isaac Afonso and Narvarte Fernández, Luis and Fernández Ramos, José and Martínez Moreno, Francisco and Carrasco Moreno, Luis Miguel (2018).
