SSA
Microgrids
1.2 MWp

Application
Solar, battery, diesel integration
The context
- Product: ePowerControl MC
Facing challenges of potential power disruptions during load shedding, a manufacturing site sought a dependable solution for uninterrupted production.
They selected Elum ePowerControl MC to bring reliability to the system and optimize energy costs. The plant can now operate under 3 modes:
- Grid-connected mode
- Islanded mode
- Diesel Generator charging mode
- Layout:
- Inverters: 2 PV plants
(900 + 300 kWp with 60kWp Huawei inverters)
BESS: 2 x 500 kW ATESS PCS / 1250 kWh Battery Capacity
Gensets: 2 x 385 kVA Deepsea 8610 MKII
Taking care of your solar installation could be our next challenge
