New PV project to bolster KSTAR focus on Russia

Share

Russia, the world’s largest nation, will use renewables to improve its domestic power supply, especially in remote regions. KSTAR has an operational capacity of 30 MW in one of the areas and put into operation projects in the district in 2019. The solar power plant, whose inverters are all provided by KSTAR, are connected to the grid network into which the generated clean energy creates a pay-back for the project owner.

According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Russia has the potential to almost double its 2030 solar capacity target to 5 GW. Although the nation is not regarded as a country with high solar radiation, southern regions such as Dagestan and Altai could host large scale PV plants “likely to perform as efficiently as in southern Italy.”

In order to improve the situation in the Russian renewables industry, KSTAR technical team carefully studies working conditions in bad environments to take into account the main aspect that strongly affects the operational efficiency of a solar power plant. The temperature in Russia is very low, and the power plant is situated there. When the power plant meets the snowy and icy weather, KSTAR GSL inverters still perform well and have a long life-time for the customers.

Apart from being launched in a solar power station in Russia, the powerful turnkey solution GSL series is also recognized worldwide. The turnkey solution (inverter+MV transformer+RMU), integrates smart PV technology, and modular design for easy maintenance. It is applicable for large-scale utility PV power plants, even in harsh environments. It greatly shortens the construction period and saves construction costs as it can be directly installed outdoors. It is higher efficiency, higher reliability, and faster installation. Thus KSTAR turnkey solution is quite popular among the installers, EPC, developers, and other partners.

“We are devoted to smart PV solutions and maximizing value for many years, and we’ve now demonstrated that the PV projects with our turnkey solution in Europe are very successful. To help more people use clean energy, we are now looking to cooperate with more EPC, distributors, landowners, developers, and to win project rights.” The sales director Mr. Ye said.
