Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility-scale power conversion solutions for the
renewable energy market, today announced that it has been selected
to supply 51 megawatts (MW) of its Equinox™ Prism Platform™
solution, a fully integrated multi-megawatt medium voltage (MV)
building block, along with 1.5 MW of its next generation Equinox
inverter systems. The Southern California installation will be
interconnected to the San Diego Gas & Electric (SDGE) grid as a
Qualified Facility for a Large Generator Interconnection Agreement
(LGIA) under California Independent System Operator Corporation
(CAISO) jurisdiction and will be one of the largest solar power
plants in the state.
Equinox Prism Platform is a turnkey utility-grade multi-megawatt
solution, complete with factory-integrated step-up transformers, MV
disconnect switches, and power conversion electronics. The factory
integrated solution leverages Satcon’s next-generation Equinox PV
inverters with 98.5 percent peak efficiency and the industry’s
widest thermal operating range, delivering the highest levels of
performance and low installation costs enabling the industry’s
lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE).
Built upon Satcon's industry-leading PowerGate® Plus inverter
family, the world's most widely-deployed large-scale solution with
over 2.5 gigawatts sold to date, Equinox enhances system-wide
energy harvest and solar plant yield, enabling the industry's
highest return on investment (ROI). Equinox's advanced
utility-ready features enable remote control of real and reactive
power, low-voltage ride through and power factor control. The
solution supports fast communications, allowing it to be easily
integrated into SCADA systems through standardized communication
interfaces.
All Satcon solutions include EDGE Adaptive Control Architecture
(ACA)™, enabling instant voltage stabilization, frequency control,
and dynamic grid support. EDGE ACA secures the continuous operation
of the PV plant in the event of dynamic ground faults and achieves
the performance guidelines set forth by the German Association of
Energy and Water Industries (BDEW 2008 Grid Connection
Standard).
This site is expected to be energized in the first half of
2013.
