Ingeteam part of Thai success

News

Thailand's Independent Grid Operator (PEA: Provincial Electricity Authority) has drawn up a list establishing the load factor for the country's PV plants. The load factor shows the relationship between the energy produced by a plant over a specific period of time and the energy that this plant would have generated if it had been operating at full capacity over this same period.

In this study, first place went to the Sonnedix-owned plant located in Nakhon Ratchasima, in the region of Khorat, and which is equipped with Ingeteam inverters. This is one of the largest plants in Thailand, with a rated power output of 8 MW, some 95,000 PV modules and 16 INGECON SUN 500 M275 DC Indoor inverters.

For all these reasons, Roberto González, the Ingeteam solar area R&D Director, underscored the fact that "this knowledge motivates us to continue working in the same line, seeking the ongoing improvement of our equipment".

Thailand is also one of the countries currently showing the greatest commitment to PV solar energy. Specifically, new tariffs have been established to increase its capacity by 1,000 MW by the end of 2014.

On the other hand, it should be noted that, in addition to its involvement in projects, Ingeteam has also demonstrated its commitment and support to malaria research in Thailand. Along these lines, Ingeteam donated a PV inverter to the Malaria Research Unit of Shokolo, making it possible to achieve considerable energy savings. Indeed, thanks to this donation, this leading malaria research centre is now saving more than 4,500 Euros per year, with the use of PV energy.

Ingeteam started out in Thailand in 2005, through the Power Grid Automation Business Unit. From then onwards, and in collaboration with the company's local partners, almost 90 electrical sub-station monitoring and automation systems have been supplied to PEA, Thailand's leading electricity distribution company. All systems are correctly operating and communicating with the company's remote control load dispatch centres.
