Communication to STP is done directly without interface modules or additional gateway
Power meter (DAQ) is integrated into the same cabinet. Up to 6 lines can be measured
Direct communication with the Gensets reduces the needs for DAQ. FSC 2.0 can utilize CAN and Modbus

PRODUCT FEATURES
How FSC 2.0 M & L enables Integration of PV in Medium Sized Hybrid Plant?
> Management of Spinning Reserve Demand:
o As PV power can fluctuate during the day due to cloud passing or disconnection of e.g. one inverter units, FSC
makes sure during all operation time that the grid has enough reserve capacity to compensate any fluctuations.
> Generator Minimum Load and Reverse Power Protection:
o At the times of low consumption loads, the PV power can reach a high penetration level so that the generators will
run lower than their minimum load. FSC avoid this behavior and adjust the PV power to the acceptable level.
o Furthermore in case of sudden load reduction (e.g. partial disconnection), FSC immediately reduce PV power to
avoid reserve power flow to the Genset.
> Grid Feed-in Protection:
o If PV power is not allowed to inject into the grid or to a certain limit, FSC can control PV power to a predefined limit.
> Reactive Power Management
o SMA PV inverters have the capability to adjust reactive power during the operation. FSC monitor the load and adjust
reactive power of the inverters on the fly to make sure the gensets remains in the stable operation window.

PRODUCT FEATURES WITH STORAGE INTEGRATION
Which features to be fulfiled by Storage Integration?
> Increase PV penetration:
Increased intermittent PV power will be buffered by the storage system not
curtailed
A higher share of solar PV energy results in increasing fuel savings.
> Ramp-Rate Control of PV Plants:
Batteries provide reserve power to firm the output of the PV system and
ensure
stable power supply.
Makes PV power dispatchable
> Optimized Operation of Genset:
Storage utilization to react on PV drop and load changes reduces the running
reserve
capacity of the generators.
Improving operating point of gensets, increase efficiency, reduce O&M

PV DIESEL HYBRID SYSTEMS WITH THE
SMA FUEL SAVE SOLUTION
..and why Storage System?
Battery storage solution is very adequate for PV Diesel Hybrid System due to the
following facts:
Fast power response
Comprehensive provision of
ancillary services, all in one
device
Component modularity &
Scalability
Easiness of installation
According to the system requirements and characteristics the storage business case is given
By combining different use cases with the same device it can be improved

SUMMARY
Diesel gensets are used for energy production in many
countries but it is expensive and not effective
Electricity generation costs with PV is lower than
with diesel in many of those countries
This gap will increase in the future
Focus countries have both high irradiation and
energy costs
Upgrading conventional Diesel Genset systems with PV
provides a significant fuel saving potential
Large scale MW-sized systems are now possible for
many different applications, also with batteries
