Sunny prospects for photovoltaic plants

The SINVERT PVS 600Series central inverters from 500 to 2 520 kW: compact, robust, durable
Whether on the roofs of large industrial facilities, in ground-mounted PV systems, or solar power plants – you can now utilize the power of the sun even more efficiently: with the new three-phase SINVERT PVS 600Series photovoltaic inverters. With these inverters you can achieve a peak efficiency of
98.7% and a European efficiency of 98.4% when converting solar power for feeding into the grid.
The SINVERT PVS inverters operate in inverter stations according to the Siemens master-slave concept that has been proven in use now for more than a decade, and that stands for maximum plant availability, a particularly long service life, and optimized efficiency.
Peak efficiency you can count on!
Inverter stations with SINVERT PVS inverters are system solutions for simple and fast implementation of photovoltaic power plants. Additional system components and accessories required for this purpose are available.
The SINVERT Select dimensioning program helps to find the best possible configuration for a photovoltaic plant.
A modular service concept means that services can be tailored to different needs as required.
The SINVERT PVS inverters are characterized by their ruggedness and longevity, which we back up with a five-year manufacturer's warranty as standard.

SINVERT PVS 600Series central inverters

Features and advantages at a glance

Transformerless, 3-phase SINVERT PVS inverters are reliable, grid-compatible and cost-effective photovoltaic inverters which are used to convert solar energy into grid-compliant AC voltage for feeding into conventional power grids – thereby achieving peak efficiency levels of up to 98.7%.
The compact SINVERT PVS inverters are ideal for use in medium and large-scale photovoltaic power plants.
The SINVERT PVS500, SINVERT PVS585, SINVERT PVS600 and SINVERT PVS630 inverters are grouped together under the name "SINVERT PVS 600Series".
They consist of between 1 and 4 subunits and are available for outputs of between 500 and 2520 kW in the following power levels:
– SINVERT PVS500:
500, 1 000, 1 500, 2 000 kW
– SINVERT PVS585:
585, 1 170, 1 755, 2 340 kW
– SINVERT PVS600:
600, 1 200, 1 800, 2 400 kW
– SINVERT PVS630:
630, 1 260, 1 890, 2 520 kW
The IEC-compliant devices are also available already integrated in an inverter station (with two to four subunits), including medium-voltage components. Besides SINVERT PVS and
inverter stations, additional system components and accessories are available for implementing photovoltaic power plants according to IEC standards (see page 12).
The modularity of the series and the free SINVERT Select dimensioning software allow flexible planning of photovoltaic
plants (see page 20).
Photovoltaic plants in which SINVERT PVS inverters are used can be monitored and controlled with the WinCC visualization system installed on a Windows PC. WinCC gives transparency to the status and energy flow of the entire plant, from the photovoltaic array and the inverters right up to the grid connection (see page 21).
The free SINVERT WebMonitor web application can also be used for monitoring the photovoltaic plant with SINVERT PVS inverters (see page 22).
With the MobileApp of the SINVERT WebMonitor, it is possible to call up the current and historical data of the selected photovoltaic plant remotely at any time, using a smartphone or tablet computer (see page 22).
Your benefits at a glance:
■ Cost-effectiveness
– Good price/performance ratio – Low installation costs – High plant yields thanks to maximum efficiency over
very large power ranges
– Low operating costs thanks to the robust, durable
and low-maintenance design
– Reduced operating costs throughout the entire
operating period thanks to the master-slave principle with rot ating master, in which up to fou r inverte r sub­units are interconnected (see page 15)
■ Reliability
– Use of fully developed, tried-and-tested industrial
standard components – Automatic diagnosis and signaling of faults – Competent, professional support, worldwide service –Modular service concept – Compliance with the relevant guidelines
To obtain early warning of faults and creeping change due to aging and wear, monitoring and control of a PV power plant via a central control room is absolutely essential. Only in this way can the operator initiate repairs and maintenance measures at an early stage and thus avoid costly downtimes. Central monitoring and control is therefore also an essential part of a preventive maintenance system.
■ Transparency
– Central unit of the photovoltaic plant – Automatic diagnostics on site or by means of remote
monitoring – Pixel-graphics display with touch screen on the front
of the control cabinet enables simple and intuitive
operation and visualization of infeed power data and
other information

SINVERT PVS 600Series central inverters 9

Options for SINVERT PVS 600Series inverters

Basic versions and options
The SINVERT PVS 600Series of inverters can be adapted and expanded by means of options in order to meet the individual needs of the plant.
The following 4 options are available:
– PV array grounding – 1 000 V option – Symmetry monitoring – Cabinet heating

PV array grounding

In most cases, PV systems constitute a DC IT system. In a DC IT system, neither the positive nor negative pole is grounded.
When using certain module types, however, either a positive or negative grounding of the PV generator is required. It is only by this grounding that damage to modules and a steady loss of power can be prevented, i.e. that the maximum yield can be obtained on a continuous basis.
The "PV array grounding positive pole" option allows functional grounding of the positive conductor inside the SINVERT PVS inverter if this is a requirement of the photovoltaic modules used (e.g. large number of thick-film modules).
The "PV array grounding negative pole" option allows functional grounding of the negative conductor inside the SINVERT PVS inverter if this is a requirement of the photovoltaic modules used (e.g. large number of thin-film modules).

1 000 V option

The 1 000 V option increases the maximum permissible input voltage of the SINVERT PVS inverter from 820 to 1 000 V. Provision of this option ensures that the PV plant will enter operation smoothly even with voltages in excess of 820 V which can occur, for example, on cold days or in arrays containing thin-film modules. The option thus maximizes the potential yield of the installation. The MPP voltage range of the SINVERT PVS inverter is not changed.

Symmetry monitoring

The "symmetry monitoring" option measures the normalized currents at the DC inputs internally and cross-compares the values. If this comparison indicates deviations over time, a message is generated. The message can be used as a guide to localizing faults early in sections of the PV generator (e.g. cell failure).

Cabinet heating

The "cabinet heating" option minimizes the risk of conden­sation forming on the moisture-sensitive components in the SINVERT PVS photovoltaic inverter at low ambient tempera­tures. Reliable operation and maximum energy yields to the grid are dependent on compliance with the operating tempe­rature range prescribed for the relevant SINVERT PVS inverter. This function is recommended for locations at which the ambient temperature can drop below 7 °C.
Order numbers for the options
PV systems no longer constitute a DC IT system when their modules are grounded. For safety reasons, the PV system must be fenced in and designated as an electrical operating area. Only qualified electricians may be granted access.
Grounding an active conductor (positive pole or negative pole) means that the inverter's insulation measuring function no longer works in the normal way. A hazardous current can start to flow as soon as the first insulation damage occurs. For this reason, in the case of positive pole grounding, the current between the positive pole and ground is measured, and in the case of negative pole grounding, the current between the negative pole and ground. When the current increases to a critical level, the ground connection is automatically separated.
Each of the four options has its own order number which is to be specified in addition to the order number of the basic version (see "Selection and ordering data", page 23).
