Energy revolution for everyone
Neckarsulm, 22 April 2013 – With solutions from KACO new energy, operators of
photovoltaic systems can do their part in the energy revolution: at this year's
Intersolar Europe in Munich, the Neckarsulm-based inverter manufacturer will
present products and solutions in this spirit. Innovations include the Powadorgridsave
and the Powador-gridsave eco, two flexible energy storage and
management systems for new and existing solar power systems. For the flagship
project “Quartierspeicher Weinsberg” (Weinsberg local storage), which the
company is presenting in-depth at the expo, KACO new energy has for the first
time developed the entire electrical and thermal power management system. Three
3-phase inverters with AC outputs from 5 to 7.5 kVA round out the proven TL3
series with equipment for use in the residential sector. T

The Powador-gridsave system is a fully integrated, turnkey energy storage
and management system from KACO new energy: it combines batteries,
control unit and inverter in a compact stand-alone housing. The system
uses long-life lithium-ion batteries with a high depth of discharge. The
batteries collect the solar energy during the day and feed the home power
grid on a delayed basis so that the owner benefits from maximum power
consumption. The battery capacity is variable: up to five modules, each
with 1.35 kWh, can be incorporated in the housing as 19" plug-in units.
The DC coupling makes the Powador-gridsave ideal for integration in new
photovoltaic systems.

The Powador-gridsave eco is AC-coupled and is therefore the solution
for upgrades of existing photovoltaic systems. The efficient control
technology acts as a go-between for the inverter of the photovoltaic
system, the battery and the public power grid. This bidirectional power
manager thus ensures that the entire system operates with the highest
level of efficiency. The capacity of the lead-acid batteries can be
selected to meet your needs. With this modular approach, the Powadorgridsave
eco provides maximum flexibility. A special highlight is the
capacity to switch virtually without interruption to backup power in the
event that the public grid fails. All activities can be viewed on a PC, and
you can conveniently upgrade functions via remote access or USB stick.

The Powador 6.0 TL3, 7.8 TL3 and 9.0 TL3 round out the existing
quartet of Powador 10.0 TL3 to 18.0 TL3 units. The AC outputs are
5 kVA, 6.5 kVA and 7.5 kVA. This allows the benefits of these 3-phase
inverters to now be applied to smaller roof systems: the new units also
have a wide input voltage range from 200 to 800 V, as well as two MPP
trackers that are each able to process virtually all of the AC output. This
allows users to overcome difficult configurations such as an east-west
roof. An integrated web server, graphical display, update function via
USB and a multilingual menu provide convenient operation and global
applications.

The Powador XP500-HV TL outdoor and the
XP550-HV TL outdoor are transformerless central
inverters for PV generators up to 600 kW or
660 kW. Based on their IP54 protection class,
they can be used outdoors. The no-load voltage of
1,100 V allows for a very flexible configuration of
the devices. The peak efficiency is an extremely
high 98.7 percent. These characteristics were
behind the decision to use the Powador XP550-HV TL outdoor for the world's largest
communal solar power plant with 400 MW output in San Antonio, Texas. Together with
external transformers and separators on the DC and AC side, two XPs are mounted on a
base plate to create a functional unit, the IPS (integrated power station).

Under the name "Quartierspeicher Weinsberg"
(Weinsberg local storage) a model settlement
will go live in September 2013, in which
photovoltaic systems will almost entirely cover
the electricity demand and significantly
contribute to the heat supply. To enable rapid
charging and discharging of the central lithiumion
batteries, a newly developed bi-directional
inverter with 120 kW from KACO new energy
will be used. In addition, the company has for the first time implemented the entire power
management solution for both electrical and thermal requirements. The project in
Weinsberg provides the blueprint for a stand-alone solar energy supply, which could be
used by other large consumers, such as hotels and industrial operations. It also sees
KACO new energy at the beginning of a road toward implementing complex, highly
integrated solutions for its customers.Goodbye to Powador, blueplanet is coming: visitors to the KACO new energy booth at the
expo are likely to be particularly keen for a preview of the new inverters for 2014. In the
process of successful internationalisation, the company is re-branding its inverters so that
they have a standard name globally: blueplanet. This name is already in use in North
America – and it matches the company logo that is reminiscent of our blue planet as well.
With the introduction of the new blueplanet brand name, KACO new energy will also
name the inverters based on their AC output. New products that the company will be
presenting with the new nomenclature at Intersolar Europe include single-phase,
transformerless inverters for the residential sector up to 4.6 kVA AC output as well as a
3-phase, transformerless unit with 60 kVA. The booth staff will be happy to inform visitors
about further innovations and new products that revolve around the blueplanet.
Look for KACO new energy at Intersolar Europe in Munich from June 19-21, 2013 at
stand B5.310. The company will present its storage solutions directly next door at stand
