Load following of solar inverters

4 FAQs about [Load following of solar inverters]

What is a solar inverter loading ratio?

The optimization is similar to the one done for solar-only projects, with a minor increase in complexity to account for the state of charge of the energy storage. The inverter loading ratio determines the amount of additional energy that can be cost-effectively sold.

How much energy is delivered by increasing inverter loading ratio?

Determine how much energy is delivered for each increase in inverter loading ratio. For example, if the total energy delivered for a 1.6 inverter loading ratio is 254,400 MWh and for a 1.7 inverter loading ratio is 269,600 the marginal change in energy delivery is 269,600 MWh - 254,400 MWh = 15,200 MWh.

How can economics determine the best inverter loading ratio?

The project will be limited by the 100 MW interconnection and she has space to add up to 250 MW (DC) of panels, so economics will determine the best inverter loading ratio. To perform the analysis, she can follow these steps: Determine the amount of energy delivered at different inverter loading ratios.

How many solar panels should a 1 mw inverter have?

For example, it is typical to see solar projects with 1.3 MW of PV panels per 1 MW of inverter capability. This oversizing of the PV panels in relation to the inverter size will maximize the total energy output of the system throughout the year, particularly during months with reduced solar irradiation.
