Rural electrification •  Approx. 1.6 - 2.0 billion

people do not have electricity and water

•  Connecting to public utilities is very often not economical

•  No electricity => No development •  Increasing poverty is the result

Business case of SOPRA

1.  Long distance = high costs => mini grid is the solution

2.  Expensive diesel fuel

3.  High PV and/or wind intensity

4.  reducing costs of PV panels


Interesting parallelism in developing countries :

•  Telecom: not wired => mobile phone/internet •  Rural Electrification: “ not wired” => minigrids

AC coupled PV / Wind : •  Using standard third party Grid tied PV inverters •  Requirement: Frequency Shift Power Control (FSPC): Power

51 52 Hz freq

Internet based remote service: •  Error diagnostics •  Statistics (PV, Gensets, tanks, MHI’s, Battery, etc) •  Fuel-level check •  Remote control and parameter change •  Remote software and firmware upload


SMA Sunny boy / Sunny FSPC solution

•  SMA FSPC control =

SOPRA droop control (WG)


How to control the power of all DG

The MHI inverters control the grid frequency in order to regulate all distributed power sources


Control methods

•  PV and WG power by means of FSPC to limit power in case of high SOC of battery

•  DG active power by means of DG frequency droop

•  DG reactive power by means of grid voltage


EXENDIS Multi-source Hybrid Inverter System

Module main specs: •  AC output 60 kW (80 kWpeak) •  Optionally: PV input 110 kW MPPT •  Water cooling •  Build in Mastercontroller •  Redundant •  Fully integrated (no extra wiring) •  Compliant to CE-directives •  Easy expandable in power

Picture is example of: •  Solar Hybrid system:

–  AC output 180 kW (240 kW peak) –  Optionally: PV input 330 kW (3 MPPT of each 110 kW) –  The bottom two modules are the AC and DC distribution

system

To Grid

To local and remote operator interface


Typical example of Solar Hybrid system (Sabah, Borneo, Malaysia)

•  500 houses, 2000 persons

•  Main power station:

•  Grid inverter : 240 kVA

•  Solar power: 200 kWp

•  battery: 600 kWh

•  4 generators of each 200 kW

•  distribution: 10 kVac + 415 Vac

•  two sub power stations of each

•  Grid inverter : 60 kVA

•  Solar inverter : 60 kVA

•  battery: 360 kWh


Two Solar substations of 60 kW each


Statement: the Netherlands in Uruzgan => 12 MW diesel = many 1000 houses @ 6 Euro / liter diesel for 5 yr => saving potential SOPRA 400 MEuro .

Interim Conclusions Renewable Energy can be cheaper until

•  too much has to be stored (daily balance) •  too much is lost (yearly balance)

Renewable Energy variations should be limited

• Daily mismatch should be limited to prevent storage • Yearly mismatch should be limited to prevent losses

How do we limit the variations

• Combining Renewable energy sources • Limiting Renewable energy fraction in energy mix
