More Information
Compact inverter stations with two inverters each
- Fully integrated central inverter station including medium voltage transformer,
ventilation and monitoring system - Available in the power classes 400 kW, 500 kW and 600 MW;
- Little space required
- Minimum planning, transport and installation costs
- Optimised ventilation concept for reliable operation
Ready-for-connection comprehensive system
The new central inverter stations are pre-assembled complete solutions, available in the power classes 400 kW to 1,2 MW. They have been developed especially for the quick and error-free planning and installation of large-scale PV power plants and contain Voltwerk VC central inverters and a highly efficient medium-voltage transformer. An optional medium voltage switch gear can be integrated ex works. All connection and ventilation devices as well as the monitoring system are pre-installed and tested ex works. This allows an on-site plug & play installation.
Future-proof
The Voltwerk VIS series guarantees the operators of PV plants a maximum return throughout the entire service life. The central inverters of the Voltwerk VC series comply with all European legal norms and standards, such as the German “Medium Voltage Directive”. The entire stations is design approved and complies in dimension and lay-out with the European standard requirements.
Long maintenance intervals
Voltwerk central inverter stations reduce planning, transport and installation costs significantly. Besides the medium voltage connection, only the PV generator, a remote transmission line for the data telecommunication and any given optional components have to be connected.Moreover, the integrated ventilation system has generous airflow and filter volume reserves, which allow very long maintenance intervals.
Flexible
For project specific adjustments the stations can be fitted with various optional accessories at works. E.g. dry-type transformers are available as well as medium range switch gear.
