Bangladesh's Largest PV Project Goes Online With Sungrow Inverters

• Bangladesh, which is celebrating its 50th year of freedom this year, has actually started commercial operations at its largest PV project-- the 130 MWp Bagerhat solar energy plant. Powered by Sungrow's main inverter remedies, which works carefully with the ABB as well as Orion Group in the country.

With 95% of Bangladesh's power generation coming from gas, diesel, and coal, this 130 MWp project is a significant growth for a country that had a total grid-connected solar capacity of approximately 100 MW in 2020.

Found in Khulna, the Bagerhat project surpassed the 73 MW Mymensingh solar energy plant as Bangladesh's biggest solar energy plant upon its conclusion. Using Bangladesh's 2,500 hours of sunshine annually, the project will certainly have the ability to create power comparable to that generated by more than 324,000 tons of coal a year. It is up until now the biggest eco-friendly power project to offer tidy power by utilizing the most reliable monocrystalline photovoltaic panels and over 99% efficient inverters. This plant is attached to 132/33 KV Mongla PGCB Grid Substation via a recently built around 9 kilometres transmission line.

Due to Bangladesh's humid and hot environment, ABB chose Sungrow's innovative SG3125HV 1500Vdc system for its efficiency as well as cost-effectiveness. The SG3125HV features temperature-controlled air cooling which allows it to operate without derating even when the temperature level is up to 50 levels Celsius. Moreover, its layout enables financial investment financial savings in the form of lower transport as well as installment prices.

The financier of this project, Orion Group is a leading service corporation in Bangladesh. "We needed an option that provides one of the most upside in regards to performance, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with the problems of the project. Sungrow, as a leader, was able to surpass all of our assumptions with their advanced item," commented Mehedi Islam Aneek, Project Manager of Orion Group.

Recently, the federal government of Bangladesh introduced its renewable energy generation approach for the Eighth Five-Year Plan duration. The federal government stated the brand-new technique will need to be boldy sought so that all that is prepared to get implemented in time and the called for policy assistance is prioritized. Citing the considerable success of the intro of rooftop PV systems and also the duty solar power has played in giving lighting for homes, the Bangladeshi government claimed that the Eighth Five-Year Plan will certainly remain to concentrate on solar and wind power growth.

"We are honored and also delighted to be a part of the very first 130 MWp range solar project in Bangladesh. Bangladesh's rapid industrialization has brought about a drastic demand boost for power generation as well as the federal government is extra concentrated on renewable resource development than ever. With our experience and also expertise, Sungrow prepares to broaden our footprint in this growing market and assist Bangladesh within its renewable power generation targets and beyond," stated Hu Yukun, Regional Manager, South Asia of Sungrow.
