Abstract
In this research, in order to produce at least 20% of the energy consumption of Tabriz Refinery's office buildings through renewable energies, the simulation of a solar power plant connected to the 220 kW grid was investigated with PVsyst software. In this regard, to maximize the amount of output, the effect of moving structures in the above system was investigated. The comparison of movable structures in the east-west direction with structures with a fixed angle and slope showed that the electrical energy produced in movable structures is 25% more and causes 129.8 megawatts of electricity to be injected into the office units per year. As a result, the administrative department of Tabriz Refinery changes from a consumer to a producer. This achievement also prevents the emission of 8,247.7 tons of carbon dioxide over 30 years, which is a positive move in the direction of reducing greenhouse gas production and sustainable development.
