MULTI MPPT AVAILABLE INVERTER

The Power Electronics HEM medium voltage inverter is


designed for utility scale solar applications, that require the
advantages of a central inverter solution but also the modu-
larity of a string architecture. The HEM can reach up to a
nominal power of 3.6MVA, and offers a wide MPPT window.
It also has the added advantage of having an integrated
medium voltage transformer and switchgear.
Its architecture, composed of six field replaceable units
(FRU), is designed to provide the highest availability and
optimize yield production. Its use in Utility Scale PV plants
provides considerable savings in CAPEX, since having an
integrated MV transformer and switchgear reduces the need
of additional connections between the LV and MV sides.
Thanks to the Power Electronics iCOOL3 cooling system,
the HEM is the first inverter able to provide IP65 degree of
protection with an air cooling system, and as a result redu-
cing OPEX costs.

STRING CONCEPT POWER STAGES

The HEM combines the advantages of a central inverter with


the modularity of the string inverters. Its power stages are
designed to be easily replaceable on the field without the need
of advanced technical service personnel, providing a safe,
reliable and fast Plug&Play assembly system.
Following the modular philosophy of the Freesun series, the
HEM is composed of 6 FRUs (field replaceable units), being
able to work with up to 6 different MPPts, providing a perfect
solution for irregular locations, where each area of the PV plant
has a different production curve. HEM is also available with a
single MPPt, where all the power stages are physically joined
in the DC side and therefore, in the event of a fault, the faulty
module is taken off-line and its power is distributed evenly
among the remaining functioning FRUs.

VAR AT NIGHT

At night, the HEM inverter can shift to reactive power compensation mode. The inverter can respond to an external dynamic
signal, a Power Plant Controller command or pre-set reactive power level (kVAr).

ACTIVE HEATING

At night, when the unit is not actively exporting power, the This autonomous heating system is the most efficient and
inverter can import a small amount of power to keep the homogeneous way to prevent condensation, increasing the
inverter internal ambient temperature above -20°C, without inverters availability and reducing maintenance. PATENTED

ECON MODE

This innovative control mode allows increasing the efficiency savings. Available as an optional kit, this feature has a pay-
of the MV transformer up to 25%, reducing the power con- back time of less than a few years, therefore resulting in the
sumption of the plant and therefore providing considerable increase of the plant lifetime overall revenue.

EASY TO MONITOR

The Freesun app is the easiest way to monitor the status of


our inverters. All our inverters come with built-in wifi, allowing
remote connectivity to any smart device for detailed updates
and information without the need to open cabinet doors.

STRING CONCEPT POWER STAGES

The HEMK combines the advantages of a central inverter


with the modularity of the string inverters. Its power stages
are designed to be easily replaceable on the field without the
need of advanced technical service personnel, providing a
safe, reliable and fast Plug&Play assembly system.
Following the modular philosophy of the Freesun series, the
HEMK is composed of 6 FRUs (field replaceable units), being
able to work with up to 6 different MPPts, providing a perfect
solution for irregular locations, where each area of the PV
plant has a different production curve.
HEMK is also available with a single MPPt, where all the
power stages are physically joined in the DC side and there-
fore, in the event of a fault, the faulty module is taken off-line
and its power is distributed evenly among the remaining
functioning FRUs.

WITH THE MOST COMPETITIVE
SOLUTION INTEGRATED WITH ALL
THE MEDIUM VOLTAGE EQUIPMENT

The MV Skid is a compact turnkey outdoor platform made


from high resistance galvanized steel with all the medium
voltage equipment integrated, including an outdoor power
transformer, MV switchgear, oil tank, filter and built in fast
power connection to any HEC and HEMK solar inverter. With
between 400V-460V and 565V-690V in the low voltage range
and 12kV to 36kV in the high voltage range, this compact plat-
form achieves power outputs between 1050kVA and 3800kVA
when combined with the HEC and HEMK solar inverter series.
This compact solution also allows the installation of a low
voltage cabinet that is fully configurable to the customer
needs as well as different types of cells and even an enclo-
sure fence among other options. The MV SKID simplifies the
project design of the PV plant, reducing installation costs and
the amount of resources needed. The benefits of the MV Skid
and the fact that it is also easier to transport and deliver into
remote sites makes it the optimal solution for EPC`s (engi-
neering, procurement and construction).

FREESUN PORTAL
GO ONLINE

The Freesun Portal is an attractive and comprehensive


monitoring tool available in one click through a free web
service. The data sent by the Datalogger is stored in the
Power Electronics Database and meaningfully plotted or
exported. EPC´s or end user can easily check all the data
retrieved from the inverter, in real time, anywhere in the world
and on any device.
The system refreshes the data every minute showing an
accurate and comprehensive status of your PV facilities.
The data is stored in a secure database where multiple PV
plants can be monitored at the same time by multiple users
in multiple locations. The web application allows you to
introduce plant information, to select multiple charts or plot
intervals for the creation of daily, monthly or annual reports,
and to export data in xls and pdf files.

FREESUN APP
GO WIRELESS

The ultimate APP display application will play a key role


in your Plant Service and Management. Any Android or iOS
device can easily wirelessly connect to the inverter for a
comprehensive and user friendly interface. Forget about
using built-in displays with tiny screens or tedious menus,
and allow your field technicians to service outdoor units in
rain, snow or sun scorching conditions, without opening or
standing in front of the unit. In its bid to create an application
for mobile devices Power Electronics presents our Freesun
app for monitoring our solar inverters. It is available on
Android and iOS operating systems and can be used on both
smartphones and tablets.
The Freesun application makes it easy to connect to our
modular solar inverters via wifi. It is possible to perform the
following tasks: monitor the key performance parameters
of equipment, monitor operating statuses of diagnostics,
module comparisons, values of incidents and many more.
The application, through a careful and simple interface,
displays data graphically and numerically. It also provides
comparative information at the level of modules as well as
showing detailed information of the entire system. Easy and
intuitive to use; with this application you can automatically
identify Freesun solar inverters available on the local network
and store information from inverters to communicate with
them at any time.
