PV Box
Solar Power Conversion Substation
Overview
Features
The PV Box is a power conversion system. In PV plant installations, it operates between the DC field and the AC MV grid connection point. The PV Box performs the DC power concentration, the DC/AC conversion and the AC voltage elevation to the grid voltage level. It ensures the protection of the maintenance people and the installation against electrical faults such as short-circuit and lightning. The optimized versions of the PV Box allow a reduction of the Balance of System cost, an increase of the reliability and an improvement of its deployment speed.
