TKS-PTURNKEY SOLUTION PLATFORM FOR UTILITY-SCALE PV PROJECTS

THE SINGLE SOURCE

SOLUTION FOR

rapid control needed to meet virtually all national grid standards.

The TKS-P is a turnkey sys- tem, designed for utility-scale PV megawatt power plants. It is connected to the PV array on one side, to the transfer station on the other side, and can be put into operation imme-diately. The TKS-P is de- livered to the installation site fully equipped and tested. It is engineered for maxi- mum Return on Invest- ment, offering reduced project engineering costs, high reliability and system efficiencies above 98 per- cent.The robust, outdoor readydesign ensures it is suitable for harsh environments, and makes the TKS-P the preferred choice for large scale projects in North America.

For decades, customers in the most demanding industrial sectors, from oil, gas and petrochemicals to power generation and utilities, have turned to AEG Power Solutions for reliable applications. Now, customers in the renewable energy field can benefit from the same AEG expertise and quality. The solar inverter product line launched in 2009 spearheads the AEG Power Solutions expansion into global renewable energy markets.

Building on its proven track record in supplying utilities and grid operators with reliable, fully-compliant solutions, the AEG Power Solutions‘ Protect PV solar inverters provide superior availability and efficiency for utility-size PV megawatt installations. The innovati-ve FPGA circuits ensure the flexible, precise and

The TKS-P solution offers two design possiblities:

1: Open skid with two Protect PV outdoor inverters and communica-tions equipment as well as an integrated outdoor MV transformer and switchgear.

2: A walk-in metal shelter contains two Protect PV indoor inverters, communi-cations equipment and external AC disconnects. The shelter is built on a skid with an MV transfor-mer, and switchgear.

Both solutions are avail-able with advanced com- biner boxes in the PV array field. The core units are fully integrated via com-munication and monitoring components to ensure smooth PV power plant operations.

Monitoring and SupervisionSkytron’s PVGuard software has been developed for operation, maintenance, and control of large PV power plants. The high performance IPC in the skylog data logger saves high resolution data

over several years, allowing the operator to compare and optimize operating parameters over the lifetime of the plant.Additionally, performance comparisons can be made between various plants and individual components. In the PVGuard system, faults become apparent to the plant manager at an early stage. The system documents these faults so that maintenance, repair and warranty work can be completed and verified.

Overview – Front EndEach plant monitored in PVGuard has an Overview screen that shows the most important and informative data of the PV power plant. This page can also be cus-tomized, for example by adding company information and plant information.The overview shows all of

the devices installed in the plant in a comprehensive plant representation. And the operator can drill down into the specifics of each component.

Combiner BoxThe Arrayguard FH com-biner box from skytron merges the individual strings and are the central point for monitoring the DC conditions of the plant. The Arrayguard FH combiner boxes are not installed on the TKS skid, but are key components. The string DC statistics is collected and forwarded to the skylog data logger, along with the performance and data from the inverters. The combination of CAN-bus enabled string monitoring, skylog data loggers, and PVGuard monitoring system insures that your PV plant will maintain high energy yields in the long run.
