Synopsis

The power management system plays a key role in the design, operation, and economics of a PV+Storage power plant. As part of a multi-year initiative in Chile to supply dispatchable renewable energy and improve grid resiliency, Ampt and EKS Energy partnered to provide the end-to-end power conversion solution for the largest solar-plus-storage power plant in Latin America. This session will present a case study including an overview of the project, the solution architecture, and the power conversion components selected to deliver a lower cost, higher performing hybrid solar power plant with DC-coupled energy storage that has all the functionality – such as dispatch, frequency response, and voltage regulation – and management capabilities of traditional power plants.
