Establishing a renewable energy-yard

Zala County Government was installed RES power plants in a former school building, we've given them a new function for the building, plants was placed in the “Energy-yard”, in order to demonstrate the utilization of RES. The aim of the community Energy-yard is stimulating the using of RES, educating and demonstrating it, spreading the application of the sustainable energy-consumption.

Pilot includes: (smaller wind power plant; solar power plant; solar collector; vegetable oil fed mini power plant)

The demonstration aim is solved by a display, which continuously indicates information concerning the operation of the objects of the project. The produced energy is used for community purposes. We established each element with a capacity that can represent a detached house of average size (100 m2) and average energy consumption of an usual family (2 adults, 2 children).
