GE Vernova has launched its 6 MVA, 2000-volt direct present utility-scale inverter, with a multi-megawatt pilot set up in North America.
This initiative is geared toward additional decreasing photo voltaic power prices and accelerating the transition to renewable power and decarbonization.
With the 2000 Vdc structure, the corporate hopes to cut back the levelized value of power for photo voltaic PV installations, including that the inverter can enhance energy output by 30% throughout the similar footprint.
“At GE Vernova, we’re driving the subsequent technology of utility-scale photo voltaic options,” says Ed Torres, enterprise chief, GE Vernova Photo voltaic & Storage Options.
“Inverters are vital to rising photo voltaic capability and making certain environment friendly power conversion. Our newest improvements will assist photo voltaic farms maximize output and reliability, taking part in a key function in assembly rising power calls for and advancing renewable power adoption.”
The FLEXINVERTER 2000 Vdc is the newest addition to the corporate’s FLEXINVERTER portfolio. It’s going to manufacture the inverter at its manufacturing services in Chennai, India, and Pittsburgh, Pa.
The inverter is ready to debut in a multi-megawatt photo voltaic park as a pilot set up in North America, anticipated to be operational subsequent yr. The corporate is collaborating with Shoals Applied sciences Group and an trade PV module provider on this challenge. GE Vernova will present the 2000 Vdc inverter for the photo voltaic park, whereas Shoals Applied sciences will provide {the electrical} steadiness of system options. The opposite collaborating provider will present the PV modules.
