Main features and advantages of the solution
- Off-grid installation with consumptions around 200-250kW peak consumption
An off-grid installation is designed to operate autonomously without connection to the grid. With peak consumption (bulk consumption) of 200-250kW, this system is ideal for remote locations or critical applications that require energy independence. The ability to handle peak consumption guarantees continuity of power supply even in times of high demand, ensuring constant operation of essential equipment and services.
- 2 generators alternating to operate 50% of the time each
Alternating two generators to operate 50% of the time, each provides redundancies and improves the reliability of the power supply. This approach allows maintenance of one generator while the other continues to operate, ensuring uninterrupted operation. It also reduces wear and tear and extends the life of the generators, optimizing performance and reducing long-term operating costs.
- 460kWn photovoltaic installation with 4 x SUN2000-115KTL-M2
The 460kWn photovoltaic installation, equipped with four SUN2000-115KTL-M2 inverters, provides a clean and renewable energy source, reducing dependence on fossil fuels. These inverters offer high efficiency and robustness, ensuring optimal conversion of solar energy. The 460kWn capacity ensures a significant energy input during sunny hours, lowering the operating costs and carbon footprint of the system.
- 600kWh / 300kW accumulation system with 3 x LUNA2000-200kWh-2H1
The accumulation system with 600kWh capacity and 300kW power, using three LUNA2000-200kWh-2H1 units, allows storage of excess energy generated for later use. This ensures the availability of energy during the night or on cloudy days, improving the autonomy and stability of the off-grid system. The scalability of the LUNA2000 system allows it to adapt to future increases in energy demand, offering an adaptable and robust solution for energy management.
- ELUM system for the control of generators and Huawei system (PV+BESS)
The ELUM system provides advanced and automated control of the generators and the Huawei (PV+BESS) system, optimizing energy management. Its integration capability enables coordinated operation between solar generation, energy storage and generators, maximizing efficiency and minimizing operating costs. ELUM improves power supply reliability by anticipating and reacting to changes in demand and power generation, ensuring smooth and continuous operation.

Los factores que llevaron a cabo el proyecto, en concreto el de El de esta granja, básicamente era un un proyecto basado en que no tienen red eléctrica y actualmente están suministrando toda la energía, que es bastante, a través de 2 grupos electrógenos y el la intención es reducir el consumo de diésel de la planta. ¿Entonces ahí es donde entra el um en juegos, no? Aquí el um lo que hará será hacer el control de los generadores y compatibilizarlo con el funcionamiento tanto de las baterías como de la de la instalación, fotovolta la infraestructura.

Altura de la granja, como veis de forma alargada, está dimensionada, pero los consumos principales los tenemos aquí detrás, entonces las baterías, cuanto más cerca estén de los consumos, mayor eficiente tendrá el sistema. Aparte de esto, tendrá un un vallado perimetral porque como como podéis haber visto en las imágenes, hay animales y personas que están deambulando. Por tanto, tendremos que limitar el acceso a personas que puedan manipular.
