ABB solar inverters for photovoltaic systems Helping you get more energy out of every day ABB’s solar inverter portfolio Your brightest choice for everything under the sun Power plants In large multi-megawatt photovoltaic (PV) power plants the PV modules are typically mounted at ground level, either on fixedtilted structures facing the sun or on tracking devices. For these land-based power plants ABB central inverters offer the most cost-effective solution for PV energy generation by feeding electricity directly to the medium voltage (MV) power distribution network (ie grid). ABB’s offering for large plants includes a wide range of central inverters, inverter stations and megawatt stations. Commercial and industrial PV power systems installed on commercial and industrial buildings represent distributed power generation at its best close-to-consumption point. In these systems the peak load typically coincides with maximum PV production and thus electricity demand from the distribution network can be reduced during peak daytime hours. This is beneficial as energy transmission demand and losses in the grid are thus also reduced. For these applications ABB has advanced multistring inverters with full flexibility to be used together with smaller string inverters to meet your required system design. Small commercial and residential PV systems are among the few power generation technologies that can be installed right at the point of consumption, regardless of the amount of energy demanded. This saves infrastructure costs for cabling, transformers and switchgear. ABB’s string and multistring inverters make it possible to cover a wide variety of design needs required in these applications.
