SMA Large Scale Energy Solution

Manage and connect solar energy

Intelligent use of solar power

The SMA Large Scale Energy Solution combines all the energy flows and system components in your PV power plant to create a single, all-encompassing system. This enables smart energy management across different sectors.

Optimally coordinate all energy flows

The SMA Power Plant Manager manages all energy flows in PV or hybrid power plants. This allows energy generation and the use of the energy to be efficiently coordinated, avoiding load peaks, storing surplus power and managing energy efficiently.

Benefits

Save on generator and diesel costs

Central interface for data overview and analysis: Sunny Portal

Easy monitoring and control of large-scale PV power plants

Remote access: reduced service costs and increased security

The system in detail

This is how the Power Plant Manager can be used to manage and monitor the energy flow in your power plant.

PV modules
The PV modules generate direct current from incoming sunlight.
Sunny Central UP
The SMA Sunny Central UP central inverter is the core of your SMA Large Scale Energy Solution with a centralized system layout. It converts the direct current generated by the PV system into alternating current to be able to feed this into the grid.
Sunny Central Storage UP
The SMA Sunny Central Storage UP battery inverter temporarily stores the surplus solar power in the battery. It performs various grid support functions including frequency, voltage and reactive power control, and it can carry out a black start in the event that the grid collapses.
SMA Power Plant Manager
The SMA Power Plant Manager monitors and manages the energy flows between producers, consumers and the utility grid. It secures need-based energy generation, helps stabilize the utility grid and contributes to optimal energy marketing.
Battery
The battery efficiently stores the solar power temporarily and makes it available again as required. This means that you can use solar power around the clock and feed it into the grid as necessary.
SMA Monitoring
With SMA Sunny Portal powered by ennexOS, you can keep track of current and historical system data at all times. This also enables you to see exactly how much electricity you could still sell.
