1. For all PV market segments (Residential, Commercial, or Industrial, On-Grid or Off-Grid)Source: SMA

It helps everyone understanding the benefit of decentralized PV plants. It helps PV plant owners to prove their financial “business case”/securing their investment.

THE BATTERY IS THE MOST CRITICAL PART IN AN OFF-GRID SYSTEM

Most expensive component in an Off-Grid system

Important for system stability (compensating for PV fluctuations)

Important for Diesel off-mode and maximizing fuel savings


8 Therefore, a good Battery Management System (BMS) is required.

SUNNY ISLAND BATTERY MANAGEMENT

1. More than 95% accuracy 2. Levelized cost of electricity 3. Can be adjusted in the parameter settingsSource: SMA

“Why is a good Battery Management important?“

„The battery is one of the most expensive and critical parts in an Off-Grid system. A smart charging and discharging can significantly extend the battery lifetime, secure a good operational performance and finally leads to a minimum LCOE2.“

Sunny Island accounts for- Exact determination1 of State of Charge (SoC) through balancing of

the current and integrated current-voltage modelling (self-learningalgorithm according to actual conditions within the battery)

- Continuous battery monitoring through measurement of batteryvoltage and temperature Determination of State of Health (SoH)

- Prevention from overloading the battery- Prevention from deep discharge- Equalization charging3

Optimized charging and discharging behaviour Optimized battery efficiency and maximum battery lifetime

Tier1 Battery Manufacturers recommendSMA Sunny Island battery inverters.

LARGE SCALE ISLAND ELECTRIFICATION WITH PV, DIESEL AND STORAGE– ST. EUSTATIUS, NL ANTILLES

21


Plant information

• Installed PV power: 1,89 MWp• Installed Storage: 1 MW, 570kWh• Diesel Capacity: 4 MVA• Annual energy yield: 3.200 MWh• Reduction in CO2 2.240 to• Annual diesel savings: > 850.000 liters

Project

• Location: Dutch Caribbean,Island of St. Eustatius

• Commissioning: 2016• Specific requirements: Exposure to salty air

and hurricanes, fastcloud movement


• System design, simulation and engineering• Procurement and delivery of entire control

and storage system• Training• Commissioning and consulting during operation

Today the solar plant covers 23% of the island’stotal energy requirement. The main challenge wasthe grid stability due to fast power fluctuationsrelated to cloud movement. SMA Sunbeltintegrated a Li-Ion storage facility to absorb suchfluctuations, provide energy shifting andfrequency stability functionalities also at nighttime.

The observed solar fraction reaches 88% atmidday.
