TANKS ON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES

Nowadays there is big interest all over the world in the so-called renewable energy sources (RES). This modern trend towards the use of renewable energy has found wide application in our country. There is a widespread installation of wind and photovoltaic parks.

 

Photovoltaic parks exploit the solar radiation in order to produce electric energy, but they face the problem of dust in the surface of the panels, which reduces their performance. To face this problem, solar panels should be washed on a regular basis.

 

In cases where water supply is limited, problematic or there is no water available, the use of a water tank by Askomet ASKOXILAKIS BROS S.A. consists the most appropriate solution. In particular the tank can store rainwater during the winter and provide available water for the entire year. It may also make use of the low or intermittent flow from a water source and concentrate in the steel tank. 

Another intelligent application of the water tanks by Askomet is the storage of energy from renewable sources. How does that work. When generating energy using the sun, the wind, the sea waves etc, and the constant return of it is not feasible, this energy must be stored. By constructing two tanks at different altitude and pumping water from the lowest to the highest, we can form an energy “battery’, since we transform the generated electric energy into dynamic energy due to position. The reverse flow towards the lower tank, by spinning a water turbine, can produce electricity again.
