Green approach to fuel savingsSchneider Electric PV Hybrid solutionin cooperation with DEIF

This solution offers high PV penetration

over diesel power generation with superior

installation flexibility.

Solution at a glance

Schneider Electric’s Conext CL inverters together with DEIF’s Automatic Sustainable Controllers (ASC) and Automatic Genset Controllers provide superior coordination to deliver the highest amount of PV power for hybrid PV diesel applications.

This solution works with the grid and a diesel generator to form a complete grid management solution.

Conext CL inverters are designed to respond rapidly to power curtailment commands from controllers enabling integration of PV power in hybrid grids.

The ASC from DEIF controls PV power from the Conext CL inverters to integrate seamlessly with diesel generator powered loads. We offer a customization option to add an Automatic Generator Controller to provide a complete plant management solution.

Key features:

• High reliability offered by industry leaders in photovoltaic solar and generator control solutions

• Up to 60% PV power penetration

• Superior installation flexibility and customization

• Adapted for new installation and retrofit options

• Cost effective modular solution design

• Essential protection functionalities designed within the controllers

• Fast curtailment of PV power from Conext™ CL inverters

• Spinning reserve functionality for multiple diesel generator sets

• The DEIF USW controller offers utility software to facilitate the configuration

• Excellent global support service from both partners

• Optional local and remote monitoring
