• Statcon Energiaa’s Microgrid Inverters have been in high demand by all the major Microgrid companies in India and this solution has enabled them to scale faster.
• Statcon Energiaa was also awarded with ‘Excellence in RE Storage Solutions’ at the prestigious ‘Renewable Energy India Awards’ held at the REI Expo 2022 at Greater Noida on Friday, the 29th of September for this product.
• The company has taken this product to a highly innovative and scalable model.
• The Company is a 35+ years old Indian Power Electronics manufacturer designing and building products for Solar, Power, Defence, Railways and Green Hydrogen sectors.
Statcon Energiaa’s innovative product, ‘Microgrid Energy Corridor System’, provides uninterrupted supply to a microgrid using various renewable energy resources. It is also used to connect various microgrids through AC Coupling.
Key features of the solution are as follows:
a. Combines multiple renewables: Can combine multiple renewable sources like Solar, Biomass, Wind and Micro Hydro to provide seamless, uninterrupted power to the microgrid.
b. A Plug-N-Play Outdoor Solution that requires zero infrastructure for operation. It requires no AJB, ACDB or protections as all these are in-built.
c. Provides battery storage to store energy using all types of external storage technologies like Lead Acid, Gel, Lithium as well as Flow batteries.
d. In-built interface for Diesel Generators to charge the batteries and cater to loads.
e. Loads of smartness through IoT-based Multilevel Remote Monitoring and Control, and hence, giving operator level ease of operation.
f. Supports both AC Coupling and DC Coupling to increase system scalability,
g. AC-AC Power Transfer for connecting multiple microgrids.
h. Zero Downtime owing to its reliable and redundant design.
i. 100% Technology ownership: No company currently offers a single solution for microgrids apart from a few assemblers who do not own the individual components (MPPT chargers, inverters, and so on), leading to zero sense of ownership. This compromises the system’s reliability in the long run. Consequently, microgrid owners replace such products within a year of installation and then switching to some other similar available product.
It is indigenously designed and developed with all its components like transformers, cabinets, power stacks PCBs, and software designed in India. Thus, it boasts of a 100% control on technology. This product allows microgrid operators to not only operate with peace of mind, but also have the confidence to expand them in future. The idea of a Scalable Microgrid Business is at the core of this product’s design philosophy. Statcon Energiaa offers highly competitive pricing for this innovative solution to cater to a growing microgrid demand.
IMPACT OF OUR TECHNOLOGY
Currently, we are catering to more than 1500+ microgrids through our solution in India and abroad – competing with some of the biggest names across the globe. In rural regions, where this product is running, the residents are benefitting from interrupted power supply, easy system maintenance, increased employment, improved local commerce and much more.
Moving forward, we have already bolstered more microgrids by associating with some of the biggest microgrid operators in India, Africa and Southeast Asia. We are one of the very few unique manufacturers operating in this space who have 100% ownership of the technology being used and hence, microgrid operators can feel confident not only about the reliability aspect but even the improved LCOE for the next 10+ years.
This technology ensures that the heart of a microgrid solution is sophisticated yet simple to use. With this aim, we have designed this product for minimal maintenance and maximum durability. The more user-friendly it is, the more it will help our clients to recommend it for microgrid programmes and the end-user will also be able to reap maximum benefit.
Statcon Energiaa customises the design and the technology for every microgrid client as it recognises that while there are commonalities in microgrids across the globe, there are also varied technological and socio-cultural challenges that exist in different types of such remote installations.
