Diesel hybrid Fuel Save 700 kW Africa – A with remote commissioning

Customer challenge

A sun + diesel hybrid rated at 700 kW for a site in Africa. The photovoltaics take over as much of the consumption as possible and save diesel, while the generators cover the rest. We commissioned the system and can manage it remotely.

VONSCH solution - turnkey

FOTO CONTROL 3f

A site in Africa with no public-grid connection — electricity here is produced by diesel generators. We added photovoltaics with FOTO CONTROL 3f inverters, which during the day take over as much of the consumption as possible and offload the generators, so diesel is saved. The control system measures voltage and current on the generator and load branches and, according to the amount of sunlight, continuously regulates the inverter power. We commissioned the whole system and can manage and monitor it remotely.
