Contents of this chapter
This chapter provides an overview of the PVS980-CS (compact skid). It also includes layout,
type designation label and type designation information.
Product overview
The PVS980-CS is a skid-based solution that connects a PV power plant to a medium
voltage power grid. The solution is constructed around a skid house that contains:
•
Central inverters
—converts direct current (DC) and voltage from the solar generator
into alternating current (AC) and voltage for the power grid. The inverters also control
the power flow, monitor, and protect the power generator.
•
Oil immersed MV transformer
—transforms low voltage from the inverters into a medium
voltage for the power grid.
•
MV switchgear
—is the connection point to the power grid. It is also the main protection,
switching, breaking and disconnecting equipment on the medium voltage side of the
solar power plant.
•
Auxiliary service board
—contains auxiliary services for the autonomous operation of
the compact skid as well as space for optional UPS and communication bard.
External dimensions
The compact skid is constructed over a skid suitable for transportation inside a 40 HC
container with,
•
External dimension (length, width, height) = 11850 x 2150 x 2340 mm
•
Total weight = < 22 ton.
