Hybrid Power Plant of a Fertiliser Farm
SSA
Microgrids
320 kWp
Application
Solar, battery, diesel integration
The context
- Product: ePowerControl MC
Due to the frequent power cuts in Malawi, the site has turned to solar energy to reduce its dependence on the grid.
The Hybrid Power System is equipped with 3 x 110 kW PV inverters, 680 kWh HV BESS, 550 kVA generator and 500 kW PCS and STS for seamless transfer from on/off- grid.
ePowerControl MC has been added to the system to bring reliability and optimize the cost of energy. The plant operates in two modes:
- On-grid mode
- Off-grid mode
- Layout:
- PV: 320 kWp
BESS: 680 kWh
Gensets: 550 kVA - Inverters: 3 x 110kW 3P
- Battery: 680 kWh HV
PCS and STS: 500 kVA
