ABB has provided juwi Hellas SA with two ABB PVS980-CS compact skids, with a power output of 8.4 MVA for a 9 megawatt photovoltaic project in Greece.

The supplied compact skid is a complete plug-and-play solution and houses all the electrical equipment that is needed to rapidly connect a PV power plant to a medium-voltage electricity grid, including an oil-immersed transformer, MV switchgear, monitoring system and DC connections from solar array.

The project belongs to the Hellenic Petroleum Group of companies and is the first 1500 Vdc (volts direct current) project ever constructed in Greece. It has also been certified by TUV Austria Hellas according to IEC 62446- 1:2016.

The solar park covering an area of 14 ha, with more than 27,000 solar panels, was built in less than four months. With an expected annual output of 13,500 MW/h, the plant will reduce CO2 emissions by approximately 8,800 tons per annum.
