Protect PV

The Solar Inverter Protect PV product line designed by AEG Power Solutions offers professional solutions for utility-scale applications on industrial roofs and ground area installations. A key feature of the PV product line is its power stack with advance-design measuring and control technology enabling DC input voltages of up to 1000 VDC. Thin-film modules can therefore be used efficiently and savings made on wiring costs. The combiner boxes can be designed as required with up to 8 input fuses available. The AEG PS solution entitled “active earthing” provides for a safer application of module technologies that require electrical grounding for operation. Another option called “copain mode” is available in which two units operate as a highly efficient team (master/slave functionality). Maximum Power Point Tracking is designed to meet the latest requirements for quick responses to dynamic weather conditions such as spontaneous cloud cover on a clear day, and reliable day/night detection (active/passive). With an efficiency factor of 98.85% according to the European standard 50530, the Protect PV.880 for example well exceeds expectations for its power class. With an appropriate transformer, it can be connected to the medium voltage grid (MV, e.g. 10, 20 kV). 

Monitoring and power plant integration is based on Modbus Protocol and advanced CAN BUS communication as well as via optic fiber and ethernet between the containers. This allows for cost-effective, safe and reliable remote monitoring and control of the PV plant. The monitoring and control system can be integrated into an overriding power station control technology. Because of the open structure, future requirements of the grid operators can also be taken into account. This communication structure enables the operator to carry out continuous monitoring, failure analysis, reporting and performance statistics. Remote monitoring and remote access are available via GSM, DSL and WebPortal, for example, and programmable alarm functions via email/SMS settings. Turnkey container solutions in different power classes integrate all necessary components and can be supplied ready for connection to the power plant on site. With over 60 years of experience in power supply systems and solutions for power plants, AEG Power Solutions offers a comprehensive range of services aimed at securing maximum yields for your PV power installation. These services include contractual solutions with service guarantees and high inverter availability.
