SINACON PV Photovoltaic Central Inverter
Modular design for up to
-
High energy efficiency
-
DC voltage (max.) 1,500 V
-
Designed for harsh environments thanks to an innovative cooling system
Siemens acquired KACO new energy GmbH
By aquiring KACO new energy, Siemens is rigorously pursuing the path to reshaping our energy systems. The revolutionary silicon carbide inverters from KACO new energy will further advance technical progress in the three technology fields photovoltaics, electricity storage systems and electric vehicles.
Siemens' electrical Balance of Plant (eBoP) solution for utility-scale photovoltaic power plants enables PV power to be reliably integrated into the grid.
Practical, economical, and time-saving: The MV-inverter station is a comprehensive plug-and-play solution with highest power density for extra-large PV plants.
In the station, three high-performance components from the Siemens portfolio work together perfectly: central inverter, transformer, and RMU (Ring Main Unit).

RMU ( Ring Main Unit)
Maintenance-free and climate independent
Gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear 8DJH 36 is powerful, and thus perfectly suitable for application in power distribution systems, as well as for energy supply in industry and large buildings.
8DJH 36 gas-insulated medium-voltage switchgear up to 36 kV:
- Outdoor housing for extended operation possibilities
- Reduction of outage time
- Arc-proof design
- Low operating costs
- Maintenance-free
- Climate independent
FITformerREN – liquid immersed distribution transformer
Rugged and reliable
Step-up transformers connect PV plants to the grid. The transformers are configured to withstand high temperatures and harsh weather conditions. A special multiple winding design of the transformer enables to connect two independent PV inverters (up to 2.5 MVA) to the grid. It allows a cost-efficient solution with a large transformer (up to 5 MVA).
Function: To convert LV to MV with identical frequency
Ratings: < 30 MVA (< 5 MVA for PV applications), < 72.5 kV
Frequency: 50 Hz, 60 Hz
Cooling: ONAN up to KFAF
Main advantages of FITformer REN:
- Hermetically sealed tank leads to minimal mainentenance
- Usage of biodegradable cooling fluids raise the flame point
- Extremely low noise levels and losses
