Outdoor Inverter Solution for Large-Scale PV Plants

The 360TS-SV central inverter is a new version of the tried and tested 330TS-SV. Thanks to an increased minimum input voltage and greater output voltage, the 360TS-SV is able to supply a rated output power which is 30kW higher than that of the 330TS-SV. Combined with the new TS-SV Compact Station, Sputnik Engineering AG, SolarMax provides a complete outdoor solution with an attractive price/performance ratio which can be installed on site quickly and easily and in a time- and cost-saving manner.

A TS-SV Compact Station is equipped with two TS-SV inverters and supplies a rated output power of up to 720kW. Thanks to the 360TS-SV's increased rated output power, fewer inverter stations are needed for a ground-mounted plant with megawatt capability. This further reduces the overall costs of the plant.

With a total weight of less than three tons, the TS-SV Compact Station is easy to install and transport. Two of these stations can be connected to the medium voltage mains via a plug&play facility using a transformer station.

The TS-SV inverters consist of three Power Units and can be operated either with one MPP tracker (single MPPT with partial-load optimization and error management) or with three independent MPP trackers (multi MPPT). Thus, the yields of all plants can be optimized. Up to four 360TS-SVs (or 1.44MW) can be controlled by one Master Control Unit (MCU).

The new TS-SV outdoor solution will be available as of spring, first projects in United Kingdom (38MW) and Switzerland (3.4MW) are currently already being realized.

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules

Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure

Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
