Case Study: Powering LATAM’s Largest Solar+Storage Power Plant

Synopsis

The power management system plays a key role in the design, operation, and economics of a PV+Storage power plant. eks Energy and Ampt partnered to provide the end-to-end power electronics solution for the largest solar-plus-storage power plant in Latin America. This advanced PV power plant with DC-coupled storage uses a fixed-voltage design and serves as a model of innovation for renewable power plants around the world. This session will present a case study including an overview of the project, the solution architecture, and the power electronic components selected to deliver a lower cost, higher performing hybrid solar power plant with DC-coupled energy storage that has all the functionality – such as dispatch, frequency response, and voltage regulation – and management capabilities of traditional power plants.
