Gamesa Electric has entered into an agreement with Repsol to supply Proteus PV inverters for solar PV plants being developed by the latter in Spain.
Under the agreement, Gamesa Electric will provide a total of 30 units of Proteus PV Station 9000 and 4 units of Proteus PV Station 4500, along with 3 Gamesa Electric Orchestra plant controllers, totaling 64 Proteus PV inverters.
Juan Barandiaran, CEO of Gamesa Electric, expressed satisfaction with the collaboration, stating, “We are very pleased to continue our collaboration with Repsol with these PV projects. This agreement is a further demonstration of how competitive the Proteus inverter is in large-scale projects.”
Barandiaran highlighted the impressive capabilities of the Proteus inverter, including its high power ratings of up to 4700 kVA per unit and record efficiency levels of 99.4%. He emphasized how these features contribute to optimizing the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE) of the project by reducing the number of units required.
The Gamesa Electric Proteus PV inverter is known for its high power density, enabling the supply of a complete PV station, including MV transformer and switchgear, in a standard 40-foot structure. This plug-and-play solution results in significant cost savings in logistics, construction, cabling, commissioning, and maintenance.
Furthermore, the compact design and outstanding electrical efficiency values of the Proteus inverter lead to higher energy production at the solar plant level, ultimately contributing to a reduction in the final LCoE of the project.
Gamesa Electric emphasized that the Proteus PV inverter's low harmonic distortion level (THD) below 0.7% further enhances reliability and reduces losses, resulting in a significant reduction in the overall LCoE of the project.
