ABB’s PVS980 central inverter has been designed as an essential component for solar installations that convert direct current (DC) produced in solar panels into alternating current (AC) for use by electrical grids. The company claims the inverter increases the amount of incoming solar power connected to a single inverter by as much as 40%, meaning the increased power produced also allows operators to use 30% fewer inverters.
Central inverters are used for applications such as large field installations as well as large arrays installed on buildings and industrial facilities. This high-power 1500 VDC central inverter is capable of processing more incoming direct current power from photovoltaic (PV) panels through one inverter, reducing the total number of inverters needed on-site, which helps to reduce overall costs across the lifetime of a solar plant. The compact inverter is also designed to seamlessly integrate into digital smart grids and operate efficiently in reducing the carbon footprint of electricity consumption.
Featuring a water- and dustproof outdoor enclosure that ensures external air does not enter the critical compartments of the device, the inverter can operate from below freezing to extreme heat in 100% humidity without jeopardising functionality. Using ABB’s self-contained cooling system, the central inverter also does not require refilling of liquids, and has no pumps or valves that need to be serviced. With optional remote condition monitoring, plant operators are able to gain operational data and more accurately plan maintenance.
