Maximum Inverter Power Tracking (MIPT)
Summary
Microgrids with decentralized solar power plants can reduce diesel consumption significantly. However, they rarely work to their full potential because conventional energy management systems are unable to separately control the output of individual system parts.
With its patented Maximum Inverter Power Tracking (MIPT) technology, DHYBRID has developed a solution for dynamically optimizing the performance of solar plants in a microgrid. This reduces costs and increases the proportion of solar power in the energy supply without the need to invest in additional hardware.
MIPT technology
The patented Maximum Inverter Power Tracking (MIPT) technology is an integral part of DHYBRID’s Universal Power Platform (UPP). UPP users do not need to invest in any additional hardware.
Using the MIPT software, the UPP controls each inverter individually by collecting data on consumption, feed-in power and other grid parameters several times per second so that it can identify the optimum settings.
The dynamic MIPT algorithm then distributes the maximum PV feed-in power across the connected inverters several times per second. This makes it easier to unlock the potential of plants that are functioning well, increasing the proportion of solar power in the microgrid.
The challenge
Instead of controlling inverters individually, conventional microgrid energy management systems assign the same feed-in power to all devices.
For instance, all the inverters in a system may only be permitted to feed in a certain percentage of their nominal capacity. In such cases, PV plants within the microgrid which are generating high yields at a given time are treated the same as those that are not performing as well. The resulting power output losses are entirely avoidable and can have significant effects for microgrids in particular. This is because microgrids often include several PV plants that are all connected but may experience different degrees of shading, for instance.
This inflexible control system is particularly detrimental to performance if individual inverters fail. Defective inverters continue to have the same feed-in power assigned to them as all the other devices – despite the fact that they are no longer generating any energy. At the same time, fully operational plants that could compensate for this shortfall do not achieve their potential. MIPT, in contrast, detects outages automatically and can immediately offset them by engaging functioning plants.
The Battery Container
The requirements for Energy Storage Systems in hybrid (off-grid / microgrid) plants are complex and require a careful design and assembly.
The DHYBRID Energy Storage System (ESS) can be optimally integrated into DHYBRID’s scalable project approach and easily retrofitted into existing energy systems. Due to the oftentimes remote nature of hybrid projects, our clients expect the highest level of flexibility and reliability.
The DHYBRID ESS is available as pre-installed and pre-tested containerized solution in 10-, 20- or 40- foot containers, with the following features:
- Enclosed system with integrated ventilation and thermal management
- Included fire suppression system
- Pre-installed & pre-tested system
- FAT with client at factory possible
