SMA. High-tech System Technology for PV power stations.
The inverter is the power electronics control center of a PV power station, whether centralised or decentralised. SMA PV inverters combine state of the art technology with compact design, are compatible with every module type and are designed to run for at least 20 years. This ensures higher efficiency and enhanced energy yield, meaning reduced system costs. Our customers are free to choose the extent to which they use our extensive range of system engineering. They can choose between individual components in modular design, coordinated packages or completely turnkey solutions.
Example of a centralised plant configuration
The Sunny Central 800CP, winner of the Intersolar Award 2010, combines state of the art technology with an extremely compact design. Intelligent Power Management, the OptiCool cooling concept and an integrated monitoring function reduce system costs by an incredible 35 percent. Its unmatched overload capacity ensures 100 percent rated output at outside temperatures of up to 50 degrees. The CP series can even reach a 10 percent higher rated output in temperatures of up to 25 degrees. Additionally, the outdoor concept renders investment in concrete stations unnecessary, reducing transport and installation costs.
Example of a decentralised plant configuration
The Sunny Tripower, winner of the Innovation Prize at the Symposium for Photovoltaic Solar Energy in Bad Staffelstein, is suited to almost any module configuration thanks to its integrated Optiflex technology with two MPP inputs and extremely broad input voltage range. It is highly flexible in terms of plant design, even in the megawatt range. The Sunny Tripower is equipped with all the necessary technical requirements for a reliable contribution to grid management, such as reactive power capability, string monitoring and integrated DC overvoltage protector Type II.
Control and communication technology
The SMA Power Plant Control System provides PV power station operators with comprehensive yield performance monitoring and reacts dynamically to any change in the supply grid, making an active contribution to grid integration. Whether there is an unexpected rise in grid frequency or a fluctuation in grid voltage, the PV power station is able to contribute actively to grid stability with the SMA Power Plant Control System. This reduces downtimes and improves forecasting of energy feed-in.
