Solar energy

In accordance with the principles of green economy, sustainable development, more efficient use of resources and creation of energy efficient and independent local communities, the Institute for Multidisciplinary Research, University of Belgrade (IMSI) has been actively participating in solar and wind energy research activities at both the analytical and application level.

Inter alia, IMSI offers a complete service of measurement and energy yield prognosis to make an assessment of opportunities of using solar and wind energy on (micro, small and medium) farms and tourist complexes. Activities include estimates of wind intensity and solar irradiation, analysis of measurement data and identification of opportunities for optimal electricity generation at the candidate site. Based on measurement data, as well as all available historical meteorological data and the Atlas of Energy Potential of the Sun and Wind of Serbia, we estimate:

site potential in terms of electricity yield per unit area of ​​solar panels,

optimal nominal power of the wind turbine,

electric energy yield for the site conditions identified (intensities of solar irradiance and wind speed)

payback period.

These measurements are performed by using the low-height measurement masts (15-30 m) and top quality sensors: cup anemometers and wind vanes for measurement of wind speed and direction, respectively, and pyranometers for the intensity of solar irradiance on a planar surface (density of solar radiation flux (W/m2) on a flat surface from the hemisphere above).
