PHB launches smart energy controller for plants up to 3.3 MWca

A PHB launched this Monday (17) the SEC1000, an intelligent energy controller that, when combined with PHB's photovoltaic inverters, has the ability to collect and analyze data in real time.

Composed of a three-phase meter and a control panel, the SEC1000 can be connected to the monitoring portal to control and manage the performance of inverters in plants with a power of up to 3.3 MWca and 60 inverters.

The controller can also automatically adjust the active power and other parameters of the photovoltaic plant, distributing and allocating system resources efficiently.

SEC1000 is aimed mainly at customers in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL), the Free Market for photovoltaic solar energy, who want to become self-producers of energy.

With the intelligent energy controller, it is possible to monitor the generation curve together with the load curve (in the image below) – an exclusive functionality of the product. Thus, the customer can monitor their consumption, optimizing energy expenditure and avoiding exceeding demand.

Main applications of SEC1000:

• Zero Export;
• Power limitation in the input standard;
• System power factor adjustment.

PHB120T and CT-90 meters

The other two launches from PHB are the PHB120T and CT-90 meters, which also operate with the manufacturer's inverters and allow the power injected into the utility network to be limited.

PHB120T is suitable for three-phase systems of up to 60 kWca, while the CT-90 is intended for single-phase systems of up to 8.5 kWca.

The meters are intended for customers who wish to purchase a photovoltaic system and are limited by the energy input standard, either to avoid measurement adaptation costs or to reduce project time.

The meters allow you to configure the system's power so that it generates energy to feed the loads, exporting a determined value to the concessionaire. If, at any point, the load is low and production is high, the inverter limits the power so that it does not exceed a pre-determined current.

The three products are now available on the PHB sales platform.
