COMPED training centre


COMPED is a non-governmental organization established in 2000. The training centre is located in Phnom Penh. 9 trainings at levels 1 to 3 were held from March 2008 until now.

The core training centres of REEPRO project were equipped with diferent show cases for practical training. So the COMPED centre has 1 SHS system, 1 Biogigester and 10 LexSolar experimental sets. Which were helpful during the trainings.

 


80 Wp mobil Solar Home System


A solar home system with capacity of 80Wp is mobile PV system. This mobile system consists of: 2 PV panels (each 40Wp), 10A Charge Controller, 2 batteries connected in parallel with capacity of 96Ah and the electric appliances (lamps VCD player TV). This solar home system is designed for the 12V DC voltage system.

The purpose of having this mobile system is for both Level 2 and Level 3 training. In case Level 2, The installation will be done by trainee after completing their theory. Hence they will know how the system works and how to operate the system. However, we will install the whole system for level 3 training and explain them each components function. Finally, we will show them how much we earn from solar power and it is a clean energy.

 







Biodigester


It is a Biodigester constructed by NBP (National Biodigester Programme) in Cambodia. There are 2 plants, which one is for displaying the function and benefit of Biodigester for cooking and lighting of a family living at COMPED training centre, and anther one is a cross-cut view of the Biodigester for showing visitors about the inside view of the plant from the inlet to outlet.

Theses equipments are mainly for training display for the 3 levels of REEPRO project and other relevant visitors.

It is useful for training that COMPED can not only give the theoretical knowledge of Biodigester but also participants can realise about the application, function and process of the biodigester.

 







LeXsolar-experiment kit


The LeXsolar-experiment kit offers the possibility to learn the functionality and get an understanding of solar energy systems. Several trainings showed that LeXsolar-experiment kit lead to better understanding by the participants than learning theoretically.
The basis of LeXsolar-experiment system is the LeXsolar main board, onto which up to three solar LeXsolar plug-in modules can be plugged simulteneously. Depending on how the modules are plugged in, it is possible to create a parallel or a series connection. Components of the LeXsolar-experiment kit are 1 main bord, 1 connection circuit plate, 4 solar plug-in modules, 4 banana plug cables, 5 multimeter, 1 resister and 1 diode module and a loud speaker.

These several modules in the training kit enable different experiments:

  1. Series/parallel connection
  2. dependence of power on solar cells surface
  3. dependence of power on light
  4. diode’s character
  5. shadowing on series connectors
  6. shadowing on parallel connectors
  7. Solar cell as transmittance measuring devices
