Business Wire
Satcon Technology Corporation® (NASDAQ CM: SATC), a leading
provider of utility-grade power conversion solutions for the
renewable energy market, today announced that its 1.25 megawatt
(MW) Satcon Equinox Prism Platform has achieved 98% CEC listed
efficiency. The system is now generally available in North America
and certified to UL1741 and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1 by CSA
International.
Satcon Equinox Prism Platform is a factory integrated inverter
building block that incorporates two parallel 625kW inverters and a
medium voltage (MV) transformer combined with switchgear on a
single platform. Delivered as a complete system, Prism Platform
enables rapid and reliable site connection, greatly reducing
installed cost and site labor. CSA International is Satcon’s
certification provider, with three products certified to date in
2011, and another six in process.
“CSA is proud to be selected as Satcon’s primary certification
organization and is a truly valued client,” says Joseph Hosey, Vice
President, Sales and Marketing, CSA international. “Satcon’s 1.25
MW Equinox Prism Platform has been tested and certified to US and
Canadian requirements and is eligible to bear the CSA c/us
Certification Mark as a the result of many hours of testing,
technical reviews and engineering evaluations so as to meet the
demanding needs of Satcon and its customers.”
Equinox Prism Platform has a CEC weighted efficiency of 98%,
excluding the medium voltage transformer. This will result in a CEC
listing for the full platform system of 97%, due to the ~1% losses
of the standard NEMA TP1. The efficiency gains, compared to other
similar solutions, will enable utility scale plants to produce
millions more kilowatt hours over the life of the system, and add
millions of dollars to the bottom line of the plant owner
operators. Prism Platform’s advanced utility ready features enable
simplified grid interconnection and can be easily integrated into
SCADA systems through standardized communication interfaces.
“For over 10 years Satcon has continuously delivered the
standard-setting solutions for large scale solar power production
in terms of performance, reliability and safety,” said Dr. Leo
Casey, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of
Satcon. “The value we are driving is derived not only from
best-in-class inverter performance, but also in the ability to more
effectively and efficiently develop systems that save time and
money over their entire lifespan, improving overall system yield
while at the same time reducing installation costs and ongoing
operation expense.”
