SMA Stability Enhanced DC-Coupled Hybrid Solution Integrating solar, battery storage and grid-forming technology to optimise energy utilisation, support grid stability and improve long-term asset performance.

Advanced grid-forming technology supports stable operation in weak and dynamic grid environments, helping utility-scale hybrid projects respond to evolving grid requirements and deliver reliable performance.

• Grid-forming technology: Supports voltage and frequency formation for stable operation under changing network conditions.

• Inertia and fast frequency response: Provides synthetic inertia and fast frequency response capabilities to support power system stability and disturbance response.

• System strength contribution: Supports short-circuit current contribution and improved fault response.

• Proven and compliant: Backed by SMA's proven grid-forming track record and compliant with applicable Australian and New Zealand grid requirements.

Advanced power conversion technology delivers high efficiency and reliable performance, helping maximise energy yield, reduce conversion losses and improve long-term project economics.

• SiC MOSFET* technology: Increases efficiency, reduces energy losses and improves lifetime performance.

• High energy output: Up to 99.5% DC-side efficiency and up to 99.45% AC-side efficiency, supports higher round-trip performance and yield.

• Consistent performance: Maintains full power output at ambient temperatures up to 35°C.

• Secure system architecture: Designed to prevent unauthorised remote shutdown, supporting operational security and control.

Unlock additional revenue opportunities and enhance operational flexibility to support stronger project economics throughout the asset lifecycle.

• Energy shifting: Store energy for dispatch during higher-value pricing periods.

• Multiple revenue streams: Enable participation in eligible energy and grid service markets.

• PV clipping recapture: Capture and store solar energy that would otherwise be lost through inverter clipping.

• Operational flexibility: Adapt energy dispatch to changing market conditions and project requirements.

Designed to improve system performance and project economics through an efficient, integrated architecture.

• Lower System Costs: High-power system components can reduce specific system costs for large-scale projects.

• Higher Energy Yield: For suitable project configurations, DC-coupled architecture can capture PV energy that would otherwise be clipped and reduce conversion losses, increasing usable energy output. A simplified system design may also reduce CAPEX and support improved project economics.

• Reduced Operating Costs: Improved system efficiency can reduce energy losses and operating costs over the project lifecycle.

• Scalable and Flexible Design: Supports project expansion and evolving operational requirements.
