2010-08-06 - 2010-08-30 - ABB will present its wide portfolio of solutions for solar energy in PVSEC 2010 to be held in Valencia, Spain from 6 to 9, September 2010.
With its extensive experience in all sectors of energy and its comprehensive range of products, ABB is a qualified supplier of devices and systems for applications in the field of alternative and renewable energy.
ABB’s portfolio of products, systems and solutions for the solar power industry is extensive. It ranges from turnkey photovoltaic power plants to complete power and automation solutions for CSP plants and for commercial, industrial and residential rooftop PV installations. On the manufacturing side, ABB supplies robots and robot-based systems for solar panel factories, and electrical, control and instrumentation solutions for silicon processing factories, the material that is used to make solar cells.
This year, ABB will be presenting these solutions in the 25th edition of PVSEC and the 5th edition of the World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion, both to be celebrated on Valencia, Spain, from 6 to 9, September, through its stand, B16, placed on Level 3, Hall 2 of Feria de Valencia (Valencia Exhibitions Center).
The main innovations that ABB will highlight during the exhibition and the conference will be in both sides of our portfolio:
- Solutions: ABB has developed a standard modular concept for photovoltaic power plants. It is our ‘one partner, one solution’ answer to the needs of customers operating in the global PV market.
Each part of the solution – trackers, inverters, transformers, control system, etc – is delivered in pre-tested 1 MW modules for scalability, cost efficiency and rapid installation. Whether the plant has a capacity of 1 MW or 20 MW, the modules are easy to integrate and the solution is repeatable at any site and in any country.
- Products: ABB has developed a complete range of central inverters designed specifically for large-scale PV power plants and rooftop installations in industrial and commercial buildings.
ABB´s central inverter PVS800
| Based on ABB’s highly successful platform of industrial drives - the most widely used industrial drives on the market – the inverters are the most efficient and cost-effective way to convert the direct current generated by solar modules into high-quality and CO2-free alternating current that can be fed into the power network.
ABB central inverters have a high efficiency level. Optimized and accurate system control and a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) algorithm ensure that maximum energy is delivered to the power network from the solar modules. |

Of compact and modular design, the inverters are easy to install and maintain. Power factor compensation is standard to meet grid codes and avoid additional cost.
Appart from these innovations, ABB experts will provide to visitors complete information of ABB technologies for solar energy sector like the eBoP solutions for CSP plants, or the products that make more efficient the solar trackers (high efficiency motors, AC drives and PLCs) and make the installations safer (low voltage products) by protecting from over-tension, lighting, etc.
