10 MW Of ABB Solar Inverters For Solar Power Plants In Bulgaria
ABB in Bulgaria has signed a contract to supply solar inverters and electrical balance of plant (eBoP) for two photovoltaic (PV) power plants.
ABB has signed a contract with SDN Company Ltd. to supply solar inverters and eBoP on the grid connection side for two PV power plants. Altogether, 10 megawatt (MW) worth of deliveries goes to 1 MW-sized and 9 MW-sized PV power plants. The goods are supplied by the end of year. SDN Company Ltd is a leading South Korean investor and system integrator for solar power plants and is focusing now on emerging markets in Europe.
The deal comprises ten locally designed and manufactured substations each housing ABB solar inverters and medium voltage (MV) components for grid connection. Each substation includes two 500 kilowatt (kW) central inverters, a MV transformer and MV switchgear. ABB's scope of supply also includes data communication hardware that provides information for the customer's own monitoring and control system.
ABB central inverters are among the most compact inverters on the market, making installation and housing within the substation straightforward and cost-effective," says Vasil Takev, sales manager for ABB solar inverters in Bulgaria. "This project confirms the strength of ABB's local presence and is a good example of how ABB can offer comprehensive solar power solutions to its customers."
ABB central inverters are targeted at large ground-mounted PV power plants and large-sized systems installed in commercial or industrial buildings. Based on ABB's decades of experience with a proven technology platform, the inverters provide the most cost-effective and reliable way, with one of the highest efficiencies on the market, to convert the direct current generated by solar modules into alternating current that can be fed into the power network. The inverters are rated from 100 kW to 500 kW.
