Key Engineering Highlights:
• Design of decentralized energy storage systems (BESS)
• Distribution infrastructure up to connection interface
• Tailor-made solutions for sites with specific load requirements
• Multi-site electrical coordination & system sizing
• Full tender documentation and technical specifications

Description

Each Monastery operates as an autonomous energy entity with its own independent electrical network. Our engineering responsibility covered the detailed design of the battery energy storage systems (BESS), power management configuration and the external energy distribution infrastructure up to the defined connection point with the Monastery’s internal installation.

The internal electrical installations of the Monasteries were not part of our scope. However, several Monasteries presented specific operational and load-profile requirements, which led to differentiated storage topologies and distribution strategies tailored to their individual energy demands.

The project required multi-site coordination, advanced electrical sizing and preparation of comprehensive technical tender documentation, ensuring reliability, autonomy and long-term operational stability within a heritage-sensitive environment.


Project Scale
Total Installed Capacity: 2,636.88 kWp
Number of Independent PV Stations: 21
21 Autonomous Energy Systems with Dedicated Storage


Executive Summary
The project involved the final design and preparation of tender documentation for 21 independent photovoltaic systems across Mount Athos, with a total installed capacity of 2,636.88 kWp. Our scope focused specifically on the design of the energy storage systems and the distribution infrastructure of the photovoltaic-generated energy up to the interface with each Monastery’s internal network.
