Satcon Launches PowerGate Plus H-Type Smart Inverter Solutions
July 12 2012 - 8:30AM
Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility-scale power conversion solutions for the
renewable energy market, today introduced the PowerGate® Plus
H-Type™ line, the newest addition to its Utility-Ready solution
portfolio. The PowerGate Plus H-Type solutions combine the high
efficiency and proven reliability of the PowerGate Plus inverter
with the enhanced system intelligence and control of Satcon’s EDGE
Adaptive Control Architecture (ACA) ™.
Developed over the past year in order to address the demand from
Hawaiian Utilities for increased inverter control, Satcon’s H-Type
solutions enable significant improvements in total power plant
reliability and yield through more powerful system monitoring,
diagnostics, and remote control functionality. Leveraging Satcon’s
EDGE ACA control architecture, H-Type inverters enable instant
voltage stabilization, ramp rate control, frequency response, and
secure the continuous operation of the PV plant in the event of
external faults, achieving low voltage ride through (LVRT) and
other fault ride through performance capabilities.
“As North America’s leading Utilities increase the integration
of solar power plants onto their grid networks, intelligent
inverters become the key enablers for enhanced grid stability and
control,” said Michael Levi, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing
and Product Management for Satcon. “Over the past year, Hawaiian
Utilities have expanded inverter feature-function requirements in
order to gain greater control of these distributed power plants.
Leveraging our next-generation EDGE Adaptive Control Architecture,
Satcon was able to rapidly address the Utilities’ LVRT requirements
and provide for highly flexible, controllable, and stable solar
power grid integration.”
To date, Satcon has sold over seven megawatts of H-Type
solutions across multiple Utilities in the state of Hawaii. The
smart inverters are now generally available in three power ratings
of 100 kilowatts, 135 kilowatts, and 250 kilowatts with both
standard as well as Tropical Environment option packages.
