Berlin (ots) - Xantrex Technology Inc., a subsidiary of Schneider Electric, announces its first joint tradeshow appearance at Intersolar 2009 following Schneider Electric's purchase of Xantrex Technology Inc. in October 2008. Xantrex and Schneider will exhibit together at Intersolar, the world´s largest international tradeshow for solar technology, in Munich, Germany, from May 27 - 29, 2009.
Xantrex and Schneider Electric will unveil the Solarpark-Station PV Box, which features Xantrex inverters and components provided by Schneider Electric. The PV Box allows photovoltaic (PV) power plants to connect to medium-voltage networks with a capacity of up to 1.25 megawatts (MW). The PV Box includes the newly developed Xantrex GT630E Central Inverter, which features 630 kilowatt (kW) output, a medium voltage transformer, and medium-voltage switchgear utilizing a ring cable substation.
The new GT630E Central Inverter has a competitive price and performance ratio, and features the latest IGBT switching technology to reach a high efficiency level of 98.6%. The new generation Xantrex inverter also includes low voltage Fault Ride Through (FRT) and a reactive power control (VAR Control Technology), and therefore already meets the requirements of the new German Medium Directive (BDEW).
The PV Box can be monitored remotely through a web interface that reports significant data such as array voltage, current and actual power production. The quality of the energy generated can also be monitored using the optional Grid Analyzer, and meteorological data can be reported if a weather station is connected.
"This solution showcases the first consolidated effort by both companies to provide a complete solution for the solar industry," says Bernd Kohlstruck, Vice President, Wind and European Solar Business for Xantrex Technology Inc. "The PV Box is delivered to customer sites fully equipped to reduce installation time and cost. Further time and cost reduction can be achieved with the station monitoring systems."
In addition to the PV Box, Xantrex and Schneider Electric will display a variety of products at Intersolar, including single-phase string inverters, as well as backup and off-grid products. Xantrex and Schneider Electric will exhibit in booth 318 in Hall 4 at the New Trade Fair Centre in Munich, Germany.
