ABSTRACT
North Macedonia has a good location and climate, with a large number of sunny days a year. Solar radiation ranges from 1 168 kWh/m2 to 1 650 kWh/m2 , but the sun, as a renewable and never-ending source of energy, especially to produce electricity, is unfortunately the least used. This paper presents the planning and construction of a new photovoltaic power plant PvPP Oslomej with an installed capacity of 20 MW. The location was chosen close to the Oslomej thermal power plant with an installed capacity of 125 MW. The distance of PvPP Oslomej from TS 110/35/10 Oslomej kV/kV/kV is up to 5 km, and the land is in state property, so JSC ESM Macedonia can easily take it over since this largest producer in RN Macedonia is in state ownership property. The calculations obtained using the PVsyst software are presented. The most suitable type of panels and inverters that are available on the market in RN Macedonia are selected. The orientation of the panels is east-west. That is, half of the panels will be placed towards the east and the other half towards the west. At the same time, the most favorable angle towards the sun will be chosen, which would make the most of the sun's energy during the day. In this way, PvPP Oslomej with 20 MW, would produce the largest amount of electricity. With the construction of the PvPP Oslomej with 20 MW, the Thermal Power Plant, Oslomej which uses very low caloric value coal from the nearby Oslomej mine, would be phased out. By implementing renewable energy sources, the environment will be protected.
