Located in a 2.96 million square meters mountainous site in Daemyeong, Yeongam, about 340 km south of Seoul, the PV project is a part of the South Korean largest hybrid energy system integrating PV, wind and energy storage, featuring agility within a complicated landform and high humidity environment.
120 GWh clean energy yearly
The PV plant is expected to generate 120 GWh of clean energy per year, enough to power 30,000 households and equivalent to eliminating carbon dioxide by 56,000 tonnes. Daemyung Energy, the project's developer, will sell renewable energy certificate (REC) to Korea South-East Power for solar power over 20 years, expected to raise about 30 billion Korean Won (24.9 million USD) per year.
A wide portfolio of Sungrow outdoor central inverter solutions ranging from 1.25 MW to 3 MW were deployed on-site, offering an optimal performance given the advanced three-level topology technology, according to the company.
Smart control unit – high humid conditions
„Equipped with multiple MPPTs, the solutions are ideal for mountainous installations. Armed with a high protection level of IP65 and a built-in PID recovery function, the solutions maintain unprecedented yields for the plant even in high humid conditions. With a smart control unit (SCU) and being compliant with the power plant controller DER-AVM, the solutions enable timely online analysis and troubleshooting“, Sungrow says.
42.7 GW renewables by by 2030
Sungrow has over 1 GW of its inverter solutions deployed in South Korea. The South Korean MOTIE (Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy) updated that installations of renewable energy will be increased from 12.7 GW to 42.7 GW and will account for 20% of the total energy by 2030. (hcn)
