Padcon supplies first large-scale inverter with an output of 1600 kW

Helmstadt - Padcon GmbH (Mainbernheim / Helmstadt) manufacturer of inverters for power plants has supplied the first large-scale inverter to Beck Energy. The large-scale inverter type AMC1600, with direct output into the 20kV grid level and power output of 1600kW is the most powerful solar inverter on the market. The two power units with 800kW each are connected by means of an ADIA interface in order to allow for high efficiencies also in the lower partial-load operational range.

"Beck Energy had decided in favour of this device due to its capacity, the compatibility with the grid and its trend-setting control unit for solar inverters that allows data access within milliseconds", explained Padcon CEO Constantin Wenzlik.

He further described Padcon´s approach: "Padcon`s large-scale inverter technology allows cost-efficient and particularly reliable production of solar power."

The large-scale inverter type AMC developed and produced by Padcon features a long life time expectancy and low maintenance costs. The inverter is installed in weather-proof housing. Due to special plug-in contacts it can be connected easily and fast on both the DC voltage and the AC voltage side.

The device`s design permits high-efficient use of thin film modules and has been accepted by the leading thin film module producer First Solar Inc., whose modules have been installed in the 1.75MWp solar power plant.

On the Intersolar in Munich, Padcon will present the prototype of the next higher performance class with 2500kW AC power output at medium voltage level.
