New weather station mounted in Dom Valentina Staniča

Within the project LIFE SustainHuts the analysis of the renewable energy utilization in mountain huts is of great importance to see the efficiency of photovoltaic system (6 kWp) and wind turbine (1 kWe) mounted in the hut location. Weather station is linked to internet, so all real time data is available online all the time. After the analysis of operational data available for 2020 the team of Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Ljubljana decided to further analyse the efficiency of energy system. But not only the efficiency will be studied, but also the appropriate size of the energy system, the dynamics of the electricity consumption and the availability of the renewable energy sources in high mountains (2332 m).

Weather data are also available online free on this link
