Photovoltaic power plants generate a return on investment through payments for energy that is fed on to the power grid. The amount of energy is the yield which is a function of efficiency and availability. Investment performance metrics are extremely sensitive to both these factors.
Intelligent Inverter Management (IIM) control to maximise yield Emerson SPV inverter systems incorporate the multi-master concept within IIM to control the active and standby status of each inverter module. This has benefits in energy efficiency and increased reliability: Adaptive power control, giving enhanced efficiency Modularity achieved through the Emerson multi-master architecture allows the active inverter capacity to be automatically scaled to optimise energy efficiency for all conditions and allows the system to begin generating sooner in low light conditions. The result is that Emerson SPV inverters achieve up to 98.1% peak efficiency and greater than 98% Euro measured in accordance with IEC 61683. The active and standby duty for each module is rotated so that generating capacity is shared and inverter life extended. Fault tolerant inverters, giving enhanced availability In the event of any inverter module trip, the system automatically reconfigures to continue generating. For critical applications, built-in redundancy can be incorporated within the system to maintain maximum output with minimum investment.

In low solar irradiance levels, Emerson inverters start generating power sooner and with greater efficiency than conventional bulk inverter solutions with a turn-on/turn-off threshold of less than 900W.
Compact and easy to manage Each inverter module is compact and light weight so that it can be handled easily. Modularity does not impact overall dimensions, a 1000 kVA inverter measures only 3.6 metres wide. Core Unidrive SPMD 175kVA inverter

Warranty and service contracts Extended warranties and service contracts are available to ensure energy yield is maintained over the lifetime of the plant. These can be sold as part of the capital package or funded annually.

String connection boxes and SCADA Emerson can supply a complete package of web based SCADA, string connection boxes and meteorological instrumentation package, alternatively, SPV communications flexibility allows developers, integrators or operators to specify a system of their choice. Transformers Transformer and MV switch schemes are individually engineered for each project to suit grid connection, environmental, regulatory and protection requirements. They can be supplied using oil cooled, dry or cast resin transformers. UPS and LV switchboard options are available. Solar tracking systems Solar trackers enhance energy yield by around 30%. With drives and gearmotors, Emerson can provide a complete electromechanical solution for photovoltaic solar array trackers to maximise energy capture.

6. Wherever you are, so are we Emerson employs more than 140,000 people, the majority of which are located within engineering centres around the World, focussed on project engineering and support for our energy conversion products. 7. As much or as little as you need Emerson can provide as much or as little of the PV inverter system as you need, from a single Inverter to a complete solution incorporating string connection boxes, transformer, shelter, medium voltage switch and SCADA . 8. Complete peace of mind Extended warranties and service contracts to 20 years are available to ensure the highest energy yield is maintained over the lifetime of the plant. 9. Ready for PV industry growth Emerson is geared up to mass-produce standard modules with high availability to support the growth of the PV industry. 10. In service around the world Emerson inverters and PV solutions are truly global in coverage. Large scale projects like our recent 58 MW DC solution in California are being developed around the world.
2. Designed for long life Emerson uses standard mass produced inverter modules that are used in both industrial and PV applications. The modules are based on a stable design that is proven to be robust. 3. Higher efficiency, more of the time Emerson PV inverters are efficient (>98% Euro ETA), and because of our unique modular inverter solution, we switch on sooner and off later, efficiently generating more energy with lower irradiance levels than single inverter solutions. 4. Energised to meet your deadlines Emerson understands the time pressures associated with PV plant installations; our project management teams work tirelessly ensuring you meet your start up deadlines. 5. Tolerant to faults Emerson inverters are fault tolerant, in the event that an inverter module trips the inactive module is automatically isolated so that the system can continue generating. System redundancy can also be specified for critical applications.
