RENEWABLE ENERGY REFRESHES
NATURE TOO
- Green energy for every apartment [except power points]
- Installation of energy efficient smart lifts
- Green energy for common lighting to reduce society maintenance cost
- Energy free waste water treatment plant
- Water Pumps powered by green energy
ADVOCATES OF
E-VEHICLES
SINCE FOREVER
- Free charging point for Mahindra-REVA car is given in the premises of ROC
- To promote E-vehicles, partners have purchased 4 Mahindra E2o and are using since 2 years
- Planning to give E-bikes in the next phase with each flat
- Use of different types of solar PV panels (flexible) on parking lots to charge these E-Bikes
CHOOSING ENERGY EFFICIENT FIXTURES
Compulsory use of energy saving devices to minimize energy needs such as:
- T5 tube lights
- Power Saving Fans
- PLC based VF Drive Pumping System
- LED tube & Street Lights
- 5 Star rated motors
- Energy saving Lifts
SOLAR ENERGY AT ITS BEST
Solar Energy Management System- OCF used Intelligent Energy Controller (MPPT) with individual solar panel that has enhanced overall efficiency of solar PV system by 6-7%
- OCF used green power control unit i.e. Blink Free Change Over Box in every flat to regulate use of free green power up to 1.5 amp., which helps promoting culture of energy conservation
- Use of ATS (Automatic Transfer Switches) for prioritizing solar as primary input and switching to other sources as per requirement of energy consumption and availability
| Year | Project Name | Rooftop Solar / Wind System Size & Specifications | Storage / Distribution |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | Orange County P-II | 12 kWp Thin Film & Polycrystalline Panels and 10 kW of Wind Turbines | SMFVRLA 72 kWh storage |
| 2011 | Orange Srushti | 11.5 kWp, per panel MPPT configuration | LiFePO4, 36 kWh |
| 2014-15 | Orange Life | 15.6 kWp Solar & 3.3 kW Wind Turbine | Deep Discharge lead Acid Batteries-48 kWh |
| 2015-16 | Orange County P-IV | 12 kWp Grid Tied Solar System | Net Metering |
| 2015-16 | Royal Orange County | 20 kWp/ Building, Total 200 KWp | Net Metering |
USE OF LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
- Instead of SMFVRLA batteries, OCF used LiFePO4 batteries at Orange Srushti [3.2 V 110 Ah, 112nos.] in 2012.
- Eco-friendly, Non-toxic, recyclable, long lasting & very efficient
- Require 75% less space
- Operate in temperature range of [0-50 Celsius] Ideal for Indian climate
