☀️🔋 987 kW Grid-Connected Solar Power Plant with GreatPower ESS
A 987 kW grid-connected solar power plant has been implemented in the Kyiv region, complemented by a GreatPower energy storage system with a capacity of 1 MWh.
Combining a solar power plant with an ESS makes it possible not only to generate electricity but also to store it for subsequent use according to a predefined operating mode.
Solar Generation and Energy Storage in One System
The solar power plant has a capacity of 987 kW, while the inverter capacity is 800 kW. The GreatPower ESS has a capacity of 1 MWh.
Solar generation provides electricity during the daytime, while the battery storage system adds the ability to control when the generated electricity is used. This makes the energy system more flexible and creates additional opportunities for managing the consumption profile.
Practical Benefits 🔋
For businesses, combining a solar power plant with an energy storage system can be used to shift electricity consumption, manage peak loads, and make more controlled use of in-house generation.
The specific ESS operating modes are determined by the configuration and settings of the facility’s energy system.
Result
The facility received an integrated solution in which solar generation is complemented by energy storage. This makes it possible to move from simple electricity generation to more flexible management of energy flows.
