2 solar.schneider-electric.com 2 Stable and secure energy at lower cost with lower emissions, and strong revenue potential Introducing the PV Hybrid solution from Schneider Electric, developed in cooperation with DEIF, a leader in diesel controllers. The PV Hybrid solution combines efficient, reliable diesel generation with clean, low-cost solar power, and where applicable, allows you to earn revenue through the export of excess power to the grid. This flexible solution enables you to use your energy intelligently and customize it to build a cost-effective hybrid power solution that meets your specific needs. Off-grid applications: the PV Hybrid solution provides stable, reliable power in remote locations, with greatly reduced fuel consumption. Depending on fuel costs and power generation, the PV Hybrid solution can pay for itself in a few years. Grid-tied applications: the PV Hybrid solution intelligently manages diesel and solar generation to prioritize clean solar power and maximize the export of surplus power, while ensuring the stability of the grid. The system s controllers are designed to rapidly drop the PV output when required, for minimal loading on the diesel generators, and to protect against reverse power flow. For new or retrofit installations The PV Hybrid solution is modular and adaptable: it can be installed into an existing power system (even one with thirdparty equipment). A typical application will cut fuel costs by adding solar power to an existing diesel-based power generation or backup system. When used off-grid, a PV Hybrid solar-diesel power system could be the center of a remote power microgrid. The PV Hybrid solution is ideal for many power generation applications, including: Remote sites, such as mines, where solar power reduces dependency on shipped-in fuel Areas with unreliable grids, where diesel generator backups are required, and solar power cuts costs and reduces GHG emissions Buildings and institutions with high captive loads and high power costs where a hybrid solution offers cost savings and reliability Buildings and institutions with high reliance on expensive grid power Modular design meets a broad range of requirements The PV Hybrid solution is modular, and can be designed with specific inverters, controllers and components to meet the needs of your site. Applications range from a solar-only system to a complete power management solution with multiple diesel generators, a solar farm and a grid connection. From the leaders in solar and diesel power generation and control The PV Hybrid solution from Schneider Electric in cooperation with DEIF, combines the strengths of two global leaders in energy systems and controls. Both with decades of experience in developing and supporting efficient, reliable solar and diesel power generation for global markets.
