IEC-compliant inverter stations

The inverter stations are system solutions for fast, simple implementation of turnkey photovoltaic stations. They are ideally suited for photovoltaic power plants ("Power Plant" segment) with outputs of 1 000 kW upwards.

They are typically employed in ground-mounted systems. Inverter stations contain two to four SINVERT PVS inverters and, depending on the selected type, also medium-voltage switchgear and medium-voltage transformers. They are designed to convert solar energy reliably and cost-effectively into grid-compatible energy for infeed into conventional power grids.

All individual components of the inverter stations, such as SINVERT PVS inverters and medium-voltage transformers, are technically fully developed, designed for extreme ruggedness electrical and mechanical properties and completely wired and tested.

The inverter stations are available in power levels from

1 000 to 2 520 kW with 2, 3 or 4 inverter subunits comprising the PVS500, PVS585, PVS600 and PVS630 inverters

(see diagram on page 5).
