Satcon Technology debuted its PowerGate Plus H-Type product line, a new addition to the company’s utility-ready solution portfolio. The PowerGate Plus H-Type inverter was developed over the past year, specifically to address the demand from Hawaiian utilities for increased inverter control. Satcon noted that its smart inverters are now generally available in three power rating of 100kW, 135kW and 250kW with both standard and tropical environment package options.
“As North America’s leading Utilities increase the integration of solar power plants onto their grid networks, intelligent inverters become the key enablers for enhanced grid stability and control,” said Michael Levi, vice president of worldwide marketing and product management for Satcon. “Over the past year, Hawaiian Utilities have expanded inverter feature-function requirements in order to gain greater control of these distributed power plants. Leveraging our next-generation EDGE Adaptive Control Architecture, Satcon was able to rapidly address the Utilities’ LVRT requirements and provide for highly flexible, controllable, and stable solar power grid integration.”
