The project is located deep in the Sahara Desert, where the existing diesel generator sets had high power supply costs and poor reliability. VGRID POWER provided a 2.4 MWp PV + 6 MWh storage off-grid microgrid, equipped with 500 kW PCS and STS static transfer switches.
Solution Highlights
- Coordinated PV-storage-diesel multi-source operation to maximize PV consumption
- STS completes source switching within 20 ms
- Remote monitoring and predictive maintenance
After the system was commissioned, diesel consumption dropped by 78% and power supply availability rose to 99.6%.
