Gantner Instruments Environment Solutions is pleased to announce that the company was chosen as supplier for the complete monitoring system for the largest PV Power Plant in the Netherlands with a planned capacity of 54.5MW.
German company ib vogt is acting as EPC contractor and owner of the Solarpark Scaldia, located in the municipalities of Borsele and Vlissingen in Zeeland. Construction of the plant will start in May while the project is expected to start producing energy in Q3 of 2018.
Gantners monitoring and control solution “Made in Germany” is an optimised, individually tailored system and – as result of high quality engineering – based on newest technology.
Project scope and components provided by Gantner:
Q.reader data logger and Power plant controller
The heart of Gantners monitoring solution is the inverter independent datalogger Q.reader which tracks and controls all power plant information. The scalable modular design allows to control up to 100MW by one Q.reader. As Power plant controller (PPC) it provides all important functionality as absolute production constraint, power gradient constraint, voltage control, power factor control etc. The PPC fulfils the requirements of the Solar Energy Plants Grid Connection Code. Also grid communication is in the scope of our solution and based on IEC 60870 standard.
AC Combiner boxes
The Gantner AC Combiner provides the optimal interface between inverter and grid in decentralized energy generation plants. The integrated overvoltage protection device type 2 guarantees a high level of investment security. The Gantner string.AC combiner boxes are complete packages for easy and quick installation. Compliance with the most common industry standards and tests and use of the highest-quality materials guarantee maximum availability throughout the lifecycle of the PV system.
