UPNA Green Smart & Sustainable Campus

 

Thanks to the European Union Next Generation Funds, and within the framework of the Plan to Boost Public Buildings Renovation (PIREP), UPNA is immersed in the “UPNA Green Smart & Sustainable Campus” project to become a sustainable and smart campus which will reduce its energy consumption from non-renewable sources by more than 30%.

In order to achieve so, it will count on photovoltaic panels in Arrosadia Campus, electric vehicles recharging points, and it is planning on accumulating the spare energy in storing systems in a subsequent phase. Additionally, the project will include the installation of a control and monitoring system for the entire infrastructure, focusing on the intelligent management of consumption and renewable energy generation on campus. The project will also include a line of action in the area of sustainable electric mobility and is co-financed by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge.

  • Name: UPNA Green, Smart & Sustainable Campus.
  • Summary: The project is divided into four main areas:
  • Photovoltaic Generation
  • Electric Storage
  • Monitoring and Control
  • Sustainable Electric Mobility
  • Goals: Based on these actions, the following goals have been set:
  1. Reduce primary energy consumption from non-renewable sources by at least 30%
  2. Achieve a minimum of 50% self-consumption of electricity
  3. Install 40 charging points for electric vehicles
  4. Install at least 2 MWh of electrical storage capacity in batteries
  5. Implement comprehensive and intelligent energy management for the Arrosadia Campus

These actions are co-financed by the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan - Funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU, through the Agreement between the Department of Universities, Innovation, and Digital Transformation of the Government of Navarre and the Public University of Navarre to regulate the development of the MRR Project named ‘UPNA Green Smart & Sustainable Campus’.

Project file: Government of Navarre Agreement. 

Total budget: € 3,748,580 (€3,098,000 financed by the European Union - NextGeneration EU and € 650,580 corresponding to VAT, financed by Public University of Navarre.

  • Title: Photovoltaic Generation
  • Summary: Under this initiative, 7,032 EXION EX490HJT-HC photovoltaic modules were installed on the rooftops of the buildings on the Campus, with a total peak power of 3.44 MWp. The modules are connected to 42 inverters from INGETEAM and SMA, with nominal powers ranging between 20 and 110 kW, and a total nominal AC power of 3.29 MW. The project and construction management were handled by GE Asociados, while MB Solar and UTE SolarUPNA executed the work. It is anticipated that the expected photovoltaic generation will be around 4 GWh per year, which will enable a reduction of more than 30% in primary energy consumption from non-renewable sources and a self-consumption rate of between 45% and 50%.
  • Tender 1: ABR0009/2022
  • Budget tender 1: € 135,000 (VAT excluded)
  • Tender 2: O-ABR0008/2022
  • Budget tender 2: € 2,769,887.47 (VAT excluded)

  • Title: Electric storage in batteries.
  • Summary:Under this initiative, the aim is to install a battery storage system with a capacity of at least 2 MWh and a power rating of 0.5 MW. This system will allow the surplus photovoltaic energy to be stored and used during times when the campus experiences an energy deficit. The comprehensive campus management system will control the charging and discharging of this storage system, taking into account not only its charge level but also additional variables such as its health status. The electric storage system will enable the campus's self-consumption rate to exceed 50%.
  • Tender: A tender is expected during the first term of 2024
  • Budget for tender: € 850,000 (VAT excluded)

  • Title: Monitoring, control and smart management of the energy system on campus.
  • Summary: In this initiative, all energy variables of the campus will be measured and monitored, including consumption, generation, and storage, as well as additional variables such as temperatures and irradiance. Additionally, smart control of the campus energy system will be implemented, taking into account consumption and generation forecasts, the status of storage, grid requirements, and electricity prices. The system monitoring has been handled by the company EOSOL.
  • Tender: direct
  • Budget: € 36,524
  • Title: Sustainable Electric Mobility
  • Summary: Within the framework of this initiative, 40 electric vehicle charging points have been installed, and two electric vehicles have been acquired. The aim is to promote sustainable electric mobility and integrate the electricity consumption of these charging points into the campus's energy system, ensuring that the supply comes from the generated photovoltaic energy.
    This initiative is co-financed by the Agreement between the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and the Public University of Navarre, which involves a grant specifically allocated in the State Budget for 2023 for the completion of the sustainable project.
