Increasing Energy Efficiency in Agricultural Product Processing Enterprises Based on the Use of Hybrid Power Systems

The aim of the study was to prove the economic and environmental advantages of installing pho-tovoltaic sources in the power supply systems of some agricultural product processing enterprises. In order to achieve the aim, the performance in terms of how to install, connect and meter the pho-tovoltaic system for green electricity generation was analyzed. As an example, agricultural product processing enterprises were selected and the basic parameters of the electrical installations in the premises of these enterprises were established, and the choice of the type of photovoltaic installati-on was technically and economically justified according to the required power. Thus, the advantages of installing such a power supply system, which allows a significant increase in energy efficiency and has a short investment recovery period, were proved.
