Dear readers, SIMPLY THE SMARTEST. The new blueplanet 125 TL3 1500 volt input voltage 125 kva weighing only 70 kg Derating from +55 C Recently, my daughter drew my attention to the following turn of phrase: Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the bird is going to sh*t on the board and strut around like it won anyway. This is a fairly fitting description of the relationship between photovoltaics and some politicians from the very beginning, and of the attitude of some PV investors towards price and quality. After all, as everyone knows, and despite all the scientific evidence to the contrary, internationally there are climate change deniers at every level of politics who freely express their illogical views on climate change. But why is this, when the consequences and impacts of climate change can be seen time and again, most recently with the severe flooding in Canada? The answer is simply because today, facts and honesty have become less important, and anyone can make completely ridiculous statements on social media with no risk of retribution. People choose beliefs that contradict all of science, because they suit their own needs but these have dramatic consequences for humanity as a whole. More and more people are quickly withdrawing to the territory of post-truth. Like little children who stubbornly say I don t believe you... But for grown-ups, the reason is sadly because they are not educated or aware enough to understand the complexity of the circumstances. Unfortunately, such behavior is becoming increasingly common in the field of inverter technology too. There are low-cost suppliers who shamelessly claim that, for a good price, they provide good quality, and it goes without saying that they also comply with all the standards and regulations relating to EMC and safety. Unfortunately, in this age of cost pressures, many of those looking to invest in photovoltaics are all too ready to believe in the impossible. Squaring the circle, as it were. Who cares about measurements if a vendor has a shiny piece of paper to certify that everything is OK? The question is whether state regulatory bodies can so easily be added to the ranks of these believers. Some people believe that there are vendors who can supply good quality with cheap components. This is a clear sign of the times a preference for belief paired with the bargain hunter mentality, instead of scientifically based facts. KACO new energy supplies inverters and systems that protect customers from costly legal and economic consequences, as all regulations and standards are met and full evidence can be provided. No need for belief! This statement underpins a further milestone in inverter technology development that KACO new energy can now claim: Our new 125 kw best in class string inverter a small unit for large PV power plants with a voltage of 1500 V DC. It has great potential. It combines the advantages of well thought-out, cutting-edge German technology coupled with simple handling, easy service and maintenance and utmost reliability. As the big brother to our globally successful blueplanet 50.0 TL3 inverter, it has what it takes to support global EPCs in achieving the next stage in the development of yield- and cost-optimised PV power plants. It s not the low, low prices that count when you re investing in PV systems that are designed to last for decades, particularly in desert regions. EPCs must think twice about whether to install a fully air-conditioned central inverter, given that if the air conditioning fails, there is an immediate loss of 1 MW or more power, or whether it would be better to use small, lightweight, high-tech string inverters from KACO new energy, which continue to deliver full power even at ambient temperatures up to +55 C. With the blueplanet 125 TL3 we are once again defending our global leadership in innovation. We hope you enjoy reading our new catalogue.

Company Company History. 100 years of innovation and quality 1914 The factory was founded in Heilbronn by Gustav Bach, Albert Hirth and Gustav Klein. The company s purpose: The manufacture of engine gaskets. 1915 The company was registered in the Commercial Register as Kupfer-Asbest Co., Gustav Bach. Gustav Bach took over management of the company. 1934 The electro technical range already included accessories for radios. 1939 Alongside engine gaskets and shaft seals, the product range focused on choppers, the predecessors of today s inverters. 1944 The main factory in Heilbronn and branches in Böckingen, Unterheinriet and Sontheim were destroyed in the war on December 4. 1948 Gasket production was resumed. Chopper and inverter production was expanded. The destroyed factories were rebuilt and extensive improvements to the main plant in Heilbronn were undertaken. 1950 KACO was the world s largest manufacturer of electromechanical choppers. 1953 The first thyristor inverter was manufacured by KACO. 1964 The use of transistors eliminated the need for choppers. The foresighted development of small relays guaranteed seamless continuation in electrical production. The emphasis moved to the production of electrical components, and in particular to, relays, pin-and-socket connectors, inverters and printed circuit boards. 1970 The previous general partnership was reorganised into two companies, GmbH + Co. KGs. This was the beginning of Kupfer-Asbest-Co. Gustav Bach, Heilbronn, and Bach & Co., KACO Elektrowerk, Heilbronn. 1978 The company Kupfer-Asbest-Co. Gustav Bach was renamed KACO GmbH + Co. Heilbronn (KACO Dichtungswerke). The Bach & Co. company was renamed BACH GmbH + Co. Heilbronn (KACO Elektrowerk). 1983 KACO acquired a share in the Japanese company Tokusaku in Akita and also founded a new company based in St. Michael, Austria, called KACO Dichtungstechnik Ges.m.b.H. 1988 Start-up of the new company KACO Elektrotechnik Ges.m.b.H. in Tamsweg, Austria. 1993 KACO became part of the Brazilian Sabo Group. 1994 First developments in photovoltaics. The former KACO Elektrowerk broke away from the KACO Group. Registered under the new name of KACO ELEKTROTECHNIK Bach GmbH + Co, the business was built on 30 years of experience in the field of relay technology. The KACO trademark represented impeccable quality standards, confirmed by certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001/2. 1997 KACO Elektrotechnika s.r.o was founded in Kezmarok, Slovakia. 6 7 6 7

Company Company 1998/99 KACO GERÄTETECHNIK GmbH. The expanding Gerätetechnik profit center, together with ten employees, separated from the KACO Elektrotechnik company and founded KACO Gerätetechnik GmbH based in Sontheim, Heilbronn. Dipl.-Ing Ralf Hofmann took over management of the new company. KACO Elektrotechnik closed shortly afterwards. KACO Gerätetechnik GmbH launched the first transformerless PV inverter. This achieved higher energy yields than circuits with transformers, and furthermore guaranteed reliable operation. 2003 KACO Gerätetechnik GmbH moved to its new site in Neckarsulm 2005 Opening of KACO new energy USA in San Francisco, California. 2006 Plant 3, a production center, opened in Neckarsulm. The subsidiary in Greece was founded. 2007 Opening of KACO new energy South Korea, initially as a research and development team for central inverters. 2009 KACO Gerätetechnik GmbH was renamed KACO new energy GmbH and a sales office was founded in China. Powador 02 series, the 2nd generation of galvanically isolated string inverters 2010 Subsidiaries were founded in France and Italy. The automotive division was renamed Energy Systems Technology Division with products such as Powador-gridsave, Powador-microgrid and the solar-powered residential area in Weinsberg. 2011 A scalable factory was constructed at the site in Neckarsulm. As a result, the peak production capacity of KACO new energy increased to ten gigawatts. Opening of KACO new energy Canada. 2012 KACO new energy Dubai (ZEA) was opened. Opening of KACO new energy UK. 2013 In San Antonio,Texas, a new manufacturing site opened and construction began on the then largest solar utility power plant in the world (400 MW) using the Integrated Power Station (photo).

blueplanet 3.0 TL1 3.5 TL1 3.7 TL1 4.0 TL1 4.6 TL1 5.0 TL1 2 MPP trackers, wide MPP range Lightweight, straightforward mounting Convenient AC and DC cabling thanks to plug-in connectors Data logger with web server Graphical display, intuitive menu navigation Priwatt function for the selfconsumption of solar power, ready for storage Small system? Big convenience. Highest yields! The transformerless string inverters blueplanet 3.0 TL1 to 5.0 TL1. The blueplanet TL1 fulfil each and every requirement expected of modern solar PV inverters for use in residential PV systems: they are light and can be installed quickly; all essential technical features are included in the price; reliable operation and yields are guaranteed. The finely-differentiated output of the blueplanet TL1 ranges from 3.0 to 5.0 kva, so that even operators of the smallest PV systems will find the right inverter. The gradation of the output power therefore takes into consideration all current output limits stipulated in European network access provisions. A wide voltage range starts at as little as 125 V and goes up to 550 V which allows for a multitude of string designs. Having 2 MPP trackers, which can each process the whole AC power, system layout is now a breeze (blueplanet 3.0 TL1 also available with 1 MPPT). Angled roofs or sub-arrays with different orientations? That is no problem for the flexible blueplanet TL1 inverters. With their low weight, they are almost fun to mount. Using plug-in connectors on the DC and on the AC side, they are just as quickly connected as they are mounted. The inverters incorporate a small, maintenance-free, interior cooler (the blueplanet 3.0 TL1 is fanless!) which achieves uniform cooling without taking in ambient air. That means that the blueplanet TL1 is left completely free to achieve maximum output. The standard incorporation of RS485, Ethernet and USB ensures elegant communication and convenient monitoring even more interfaces are optionally available. In order to assure perfect linkup, the inverters have the same integrated data logger and web server as their 3-phase siblings. For commissioning and checking on the current operating data, they also feature the same easy-to-use, clearly laid out, graphical display. An extension module with 4 digital inputs allows performance targets sent by the grid operator via ripple control receiver to be put into action by the inverters Inverters themselves; this does away with an intermediate data logger. Please find more information about the extension module on our website. If you want to use your self-generated solar power in your own home, the blueplanet TL1 also come with our Priwatt function for managing self-consumption. Your declaration of solar independence becomes complete when you use an intelligent energy storage system; it allows you to use your own clean energy whenever you want to. Fitted with a blueplanet TL1, your private solar power plant can be upgraded with a storage system at any time. And, our blueplanet gridsave eco 5.0 TR1 battery inverter will take care of the energy management of your PV storage system too. Anything less would be a thing of the past!

Inverters blueplanet 3.0 TL3 4.0 TL3 NEW 5.0 TL3 6.5 TL3 7.5 TL3 8.6 TL3 9.0 TL3 10.0 TL3 Up to 98.5 % efficiency Two MPP trackers, symmetrical and asymmetrical loading possible Multilingual menu Graphical display Data logger with web server Priwatt function for the selfconsumption of solar power, ready for storage Your quickest way to the highest yields. The transformerless, three-phase inverters blueplanet 3.0 TL3 to 10.0 TL3. All of the advantages of the larger 3-phase inverters can be found in one power class which is just perfect for private roof systems as well as small commercial applications. The blueplanet 3.0 TL3 to 10.0 TL3 come, without exception, with 2 MPP trackers which can get to grips with all imaginable design configurations of a modular PV generator. As such, each MPP tracker can process the whole AC output. If you also consider the extremely wide input voltage range from 200 V to 950 V, multiple string configurations become possible. So, with these characteristics, the blueplanet TL3 present themselves as the most flexible three-phase inverters in their power class on the market. The DC and AC periphery of the blueplanet TL3 ensures the quickest cabling thanks to plug-in connectors and the menu selection is performed conveniently using the graphic display. So that the appliances can stand up to the harshest conditions out in the open, their compact housing is built to IP65 protection class.

The blueplanet 15.0 TL3 INT and 20.0 TL3 INT offer you plenty of scope for your photovoltaic projects in the medium power range from small, commercial solar roofs to large-scale, open space solar parks. Both inverters operate using two separate MPP trackers that can handle both symmetrical and asymmetrical loads. You will be able to deal with east/west facing roofs (symmetrical load), factory roofs which are shaded or inconsistently designed and open spaces (asymmetrical load). Two strings can be connected per MPP tracker. The wide input voltage range underscores the high performance of the units: The inverters start at 250 V, and, when in operation, continue to feed in at 200 V. They work right up to 950 V. First, these features give you a high degree of flexibility in system planning, and later, their long working hours will result in extremely high profitability. The inverters comply with the BDEW medium voltage directive and a broad range of international grid regulations. Moreover, the combination of inverter and Powador-protect allows you to meet the requirements of grid and system protection as well as power management simply and inexpensively. An extension module with 4 digital inputs allows performance targets sent by the grid operator via ripple control receiver to be put into action by the inverters themselves; this does away with an intermediate data logger. Please find more information about the extension module on our website. The inverters are equipped with preinstalled sockets for each MPP-Tracker into which the DC surge protection device of type SPD 1+2 can be fitted. They also include two Ethernet ports that allow for bus cabling ( daisy chain ).

System components System components Measuring. Controlling. Protecting. Grid management with Powador-protect. Technical data Powador-protect Powador-protect is a voltage and frequency protection device and a control unit for PV systems that feed into the medium- or low-voltage grid. If an interface protection test is not possible due to a large number of string inverters or lack of inverter test terminals, Powador-protect can be used as central interface protection according to VDE-AR-N 4105 and CEI 0-21. Powador-protect also offers the functionality for feed-in management. It evaluates potential free contacts provided by the control system of the distribution network operator and transmits configurable feed-in commands as defined by the distribution network operators. As a protection device, Powadorprotect constantly measures the voltage and frequency grid parameters. If a limit violation of grid parameters is detected, Powador-protect triggers the interface switch and disconnects the PV System from the grid. This function is available with inverters from any manufacturer. The best results are achieved when Powador-protect is operated with KACO new energy three-phase inverters or transformerless single-phase inverters: KACO new energy inverters are equipped ex works with internal interface switches that are controlled directly by Powador-protect.* No external interface switches are necesssary. As a voltage and frequency protection device, Powador-protect provides a single-fault tolerance (redundant design). This means that if a single error occurs in the device, the safety functions always remain intact; the fault is detected and signaled for maintenance. For smaller systems, Powador-protect is the ideal solution because some distribution network operators require voltage drops between the inverter and meter to be taken into account. If there are long distances, shutdowns may occur in grids with high voltages because of the voltage drop between inverter and meter. Powador-protect is installed in the main distribution system and measures the voltage directly at the meter. The internal protection setting on the inverter can therefore be set higher. Powador-protect also offers another important feature: feed-in management. In some countries, law requires managed, remote-controlled power reduction of PV systems above a certain installed power. Formerly, a separate device was required for this purpose to send the corresponding signals of a ripple control receiver to the inverter as a control command. Powador-protect combines the functions of grid and system protection and feed-in management, saving space and money. During feed-in management, Powadorprotect can manage the signals of the ripple control receiver for up to 31 inverters. * Please note the Application note Powador protect for compability.

Turnkey solutions Turnkey solutions Solar power storage: for small loads. Example: Grid-remote electricity supplied to a desert clinic by means of solar power. TARGET is a human rights organisation founded by Annette and Rüdiger Nehberg that primarily supports women s rights. Defying building and bureaucratic hurdles with great perseverance and tenacity, the association built a childbirth clinic among the Afar people in the middle of Ethiopia s Danakil desert. The energy supply to the area was provided by means of solar power with the help of KACO new energy. The photovoltaic system has a 60.5 kilowatt output and it was complemented by a 109 kwh storage system. During the day the system supplies electricity directly to the electrical appliances in the clinic and the operating theatre, as well as to the kitchen and laundry. Excess power is stored and, when required, is taken from the batteries to contribute towards the electricity supply at night. Occasionally a diesel generator comes into action if, for example, the batteries are empty. Since the commissioning of the PV storage system in June 2015, the clinic s energy supply has been reliably, permanently and sustainably based on the sun. Careful use of natural resources and minimum environmental impact were crucial pre-considerations for TARGET. From this ecological point of view alone, solar energy is preferable in comparison to diesel as an alternative. Moreover, purchasing diesel is expensive and a recurring task. Particularly in remote, sun-rich regions, the price advantages of locally-generated solar energy lend themselves as an ideal replacement for conventional diesel generators: Photovoltaics can be easily integrated into existing systems, contributes the lion s share to energy provision and is independent of rising oil prices. The automatic energy supply management is performed by the bidirectional blueplanet gridsave eco battery inverter. Three of its 20 kilowatt versions are deployed in the clinic. TARGET attaches enormous importance on the operating theatre being ready for use at all times. Thanks to its superior energy management capabilities, the blueplanet gridsave eco controls all electrical appliances which are connected to the mini-grid and switches the remaining ones off in sequence when the PV power is diminishing, thus driving the storage system to greater autonomy. If the solar energy reserve becomes critical, then it switches the diesel generator on as a back up to enable continued use of the operating theatre. Plans to connect to the public grid are currently in progress. As soon as this becomes available, the blueplanet gridsave eco will effortlessly adapt itself to the new situation: It will stop the gaps in the energy supply with electricity from the public grid so that the diesel generator can continue to be used as the very last link in the chain. Can new electrical appliances be added if the hospital is extended? The simple answer is: yes. The blueplanet gridsave eco flexibly integrates additional electrical appliances into the electricity network. The threshold values governing the switching off of appliances can be adjusted at a later date. Thanks to its AC coupling, the blueplanet gridsave eco allows for the extension of existing PV systems and for selection of the battery capacity according to needs. In this spirit, we wish TARGET and the clinic a successful future! Read more about TARGET here: www.target-nehberg.de Highly anticipated: The container arrives safely in the Danakil desert with the help of heavy machinery. In 1977, Rüdiger Nehberg (seen left in the photo together with Lars Brehm, the TARGET Project Manager) crossed the desert on foot and thus got to know the Afar people. Energy Tank: Battery inverters, solar inverters and switchgear are all safely housed in a container. The necessary cooling is provided by fans. The clinic seen from the bird s eye view: An oasis of help for the women and children of the Afar. 72 73 72 73

Turnkey solutions Turnkey solutions Solar power storage: for large loads. Example: Energy management of electrical and thermal accumulators for maximum self-consumption in a residential area. PV and diesel: the power of two. Example: The KACO new energy FuelSave solution manages the hybrid system of a packaging manufacturer in Lebanon. 23 households, 145 kw PV power, one central electrical storage system and several thermal storage systems: in a flagship project in the German town of Weinsberg, KACO new energy is showing that it is possible to completely meet energy requirements with photovoltaics. Winning the 2015 Smart Grids-Quartier-Award proves that we are on the right track. A bidirectional battery inverter with 120 kva works as driver of the power distribution. Due to its enormous efficiency level, and especially due to it having the shortest response times possible, the bidirectional battery inverter ensures that the power supply to the households is uninterrupted, including off-grid operation of the entire development in the event that the public distribution grid fails. Power to heat: Solar power which is not stored for use as electricity is sent to the thermal storage system; on the one hand, it drives a heat pump with 35 kw(el) of power which charges a 20,000 litre buffer tank. In addition, 18 decentralised smaller water tanks are heated directly; they are positioned on the individual buildings to cover the daily demand for hot water. KACO new energy has created an energy management system for the entire residential complex, which assumes control of all electrical and thermal components. Through the perfect synchronisation of current needs and long-term usage patterns, this energy management system achieves the ideal balance between direct usage and both storage technologies. In short, this means maximum personal consumption and a high level of energy self-sufficiency, i.e. independence from external energy import to the greatest possible extent. A comprehensive measuring and monitoring system records all of the development s electrical and thermal energy flows. The regular analysis of this data serves to continually optimise energy management. Ultimately, the decentralised production and storage of electricity covers 97 % of electricity demands and around half of the heating demands of the model development. Our simulations show that covering heating requirements in full is merely a question of the standard of the insulation used. In our model development, we show you how a decentralised photovoltaic energy supply can help you to: optimise the use of solar power achieve a high level of energy self-sufficiency implement a system concept which is beneficial to the grid All components and control instruments of the model development can be transferred to projects of almost any size: from large commercial and public buildings such as hotels, swimming pools and municipal facilities, right up to new housing estates and apartment buildings. Freely attributed to Socrates, it is said that: If you draw the right conclusions, you take the right action. And just that happened in Bikfaya, a suburb of Beirut: There, Gemayel Freres, a packaging and corrugated cardboard producer, was pondering the question of the factory s future energy supply. Connection to the public grid meant longer-term power cuts and the diesel generator as emergency generator was proving to be expensive. The company soon came to the conclusion that solar energy is the way out of the dilemma and the FuelSave solution from KACO new energy the appropriate management of the energy supply. A photovoltaic array can be integrated into the energy supply system relatively easily, it can be operated effortlessly, is low-maintenance, and environmentallyfriendly. For the processing company in a sun-rich region, it reliably supplies the energy which is needed during normal working hours. Apart from that, Gemayel Freres ensured from the very outset that the PV array could be modularly extended. It can therefore keep pace with the development of the company and its future energy needs. 300 kilowatt output might just be the beginning The FuelSave controller ensures that the new PV-diesel hybrid system functions without a hitch. So, in one fell swoop the company covers 70 percent of its energy requirements from the sun and its own diesel generator stops the remaining gap. The controller permanently keeps the generator in its optimum operational state so that it uses diesel economically and is conducive to a long life-span. In contrast, the dependency on electricity from the grid has sunken drastically together with the related costs. Excess solar energy is even fed into the grid by net metering and public grid power cuts no longer pose challenges to the company: It can rely to a great extent on the photovoltaic and diesel hybrid energy supply. We can therefore conclude: They took the right action! Maximising self-consumption in a residential estate: 145 kw PV output for electrical and thermal storage. Blue skies over Bikfaya: Clean energy covers 70 per cent of energy needs. Additional roof space is available for an extension of the PV system. 74 75 74 75

Turnkey solutions Turnkey solutions Grid management: for utility loads. Example: Eight blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3 charge and discharge batteries to regulate the frequency of the South Korean electricity grid. From the top of the Korean peninsula, South Korea has developed into one of the world s most progressive countries. The isolated location poses challenges to the necessary power supply: Apart from having no energy resources of its own, there is also no integrated cross-border grid to compensate energy supply fluctuations. The consequences: Problems with grid frequency and power cuts. In order to solve this problem, South Korea is now the pioneer in the use of large-scale storage systems for grid management. Since June 2014, a further four strikinglypainted containers stand in the grounds of Yong-In City voltage transformation substation near Seoul. They house the hardware of the pilot project which the state utility company, KEPCO (Korea Electric Power Corp.), is examining to establish the suitability of storage sets for regulating grid frequency. KACO new energy was successful in the tendering process and thus despatched eight bidirectional blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3 battery inverters, each with 1,000 kva output, to Yong-In. Two containers each house four units. The remaining two containers are home to the Samsung SDI lithium-ion batteries with a capacity totalling 4 MWh. By charging and discharging the batteries, the battery inverters provide static grid support in the form of active and reactive power. It is also possible to support the grid dynamically by means of Fault Ride Through (FRT). The battery inverters receive the commands on how they should react to the grid from a superordinate energy management system. The project ran for one year until June 2015. The experience was convincing and KEPCO is already at work on further storage systems. On what type of storage project can we support you? The grid could be the public grid or even a grid-connected energy supply to a small town or industrial plant. The size of the storage system can be adapted to requirements. The blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3 is compatible with all conventional battery technology. Another advantage is the flexible composition of the energy mix: The blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3 can be used with conventional energy sources, as well as with wind and photovoltaic. Talking about photovoltaic: The integration of solar energy is of course the most obvious decision when it comes to the economic, ecologic design of such storage systems for grid management and a more independent energy supply. And KACO new energy is your best partner when it comes to single-source system solutions. Four containers, housing the battery inverters and storage, stand at the end of the lane. Project Location: The voltage transformation substation of Yong-In City, a town of one million inhabitants near Seoul. The blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3 has been designed to be operated and serviced in narrow spaces. The 4 MW Power Conditioning System (PCS) container with the blueplanet gridsave 1000 TL3. 76 77 76 77
