SÃO PAULO, Mar. 8, 2021
/PRNewswire/ -- After an agreement and the recent emission of
NTP ("Notice To Proceed" or "Service Order") with Focus Energia, an
integrated energy business platform, Sungrow will supply inverters
and MV stations for the implementation of the first phase of the
Futura Project, an 852 MWp solar park that will soon be one of the
largest in operation in Latin
America.
Considering the environmental authorizations already issued,
approximately two thousand hectares will be destined for the
implementation of the 22 parks in the first phase of the Project
("Projeto Futura I"), with 38.73 MWp each. The designated area is
about 40 km from the urban center of Juazeiro, in the north of the
State of Bahia. Upon completion,
its total capacity will be approximately 852 MWp, with an estimated
investment of more than 2.2 billion Reais. In addition to the
commissioning and start-up service, Sungrow plans to supply more
than 100 MVS6300-LV transformation stations and more than 3,000
SG250HX inverters. The Futura I Project will be the largest
photovoltaic plant under construction with bifacial modules,
trackers, and string inverters in Latin
America.
During the process of technical analysis of Sungrow's solution
with Focus, it was clear to Sungrow that some factors were decisive
to the contract, such as its high
performing inverters, the flexibility of reactive energy
production in both day and night, the reduction of
the capacitor banks needed to meet the requirements of the study of
connection to the concessionaire network, and the fact that the SG250HX which is
compatible with bifacial modules of 600 Wp.
Another fundamental differential
was the high performance and low
losses in the transformation of energy in MV station. In practice, the MV
station gathers RMU, transformers and the low voltage three-phase
panels of 800Vac, 3200A, according to NBR IEC 61439-1. The
transformers supplied by Sungrow have a high efficiency especially
compared to those normally sold in the Brazilian market, offering a
higher yield of at least 0.2%, due to the manufacturing processes
and low equipment losses. All of this translates into greater
efficiency and the possibility to optimize the overall investment
of the project.
According to Rafael Ribeiro,
Country Manager of Sungrow Brazil,
the company sees the importance of the Futura Project for the
country and highlights its social and economic impact in the city
of Juazeiro. "Supporting Focus in a project like this is a great
responsibility and accomplishment for our team. It is estimated
that more than eight thousand direct and indirect jobs will be
generated in the region," said Rafael
Ribeiro.
The installation work is scheduled to start in April of this
year and the plant's commercial operation is scheduled to start in
the first half of 2022.
