Hoofddorp, The Netherlands, December 15, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Delta, a global leader in power and thermal management solutions, announced today that it will provide solar energy company Anumar with its high-efficiency photovoltaic string inverter M70A series , The company is an engineering, procurement company and construction (EPC) service provider, is building the Solarpark Schornhof project, which is currently the largest ground-based solar park in southern Germany. The compliance of the M70A inverter with the new VDE high voltage technology connection rules (VDE-AR-N 4120) was a key factor in Anumar's decision to select Delta for this project. The goal of the project is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 77,000 tons per year, with an output of 120 MWp. To date, about one-third of the approximately 1,500 Delta M70A string photovoltaic inverters required for the project have been deployed in the solar park.  

Anumar CEO Markus Brosch explained when commenting on the deployment: "In a large project like Solarpark Schornhof, it is particularly important for us to have a trusted partner who can respond quickly to our needs. We have been installing and manufacturing Equipment Delta has been cooperating with us on a number of solar power projects for many years. In these projects, Delta has always provided us with fast and easy-to-access support."

Andreas Hoischen, Senior Director of Delta’s EMEA Photovoltaic Inverter Business Unit, added: “Due to its compact design combined with high power density, our M70A inverter is easy to transport and install, and is particularly suitable for large-scale, ground-mounted, commercial solar power generation. Factory, such as the one we own in Schornhof."

Anumar chose Delta's M70A string inverters because they meet the requirements of the new VDE high-voltage technology connection rules (VDE-AR-N 4120), which is a basic prerequisite for connecting the factory to the high-voltage grid. In total, Delta will provide approximately 1,500 inverters to meet the needs of the site, and the first batch of panels-generating 70 MW of electricity-have recently been connected to the grid. The solar power plant has a peak output power of 120 MWp and is expected to generate 110 million kilowatt-hours of electricity each year.

One of the challenges is how to best create a solar park with as little ecological impact as possible. Only half of the 150-hectare site will be covered by solar modules. The remaining 70 hectares will be transformed into a "green paradise" to encourage biodiversity for operators. This part of the project requires the planting of approximately 50,000 new shrubs and trees, while preserving the existing surrounding woods.

The energy conversion from the solar module to the feed point of the high-voltage grid is carried out in three stages. In the first phase, the solar energy from up to 12 module strings-corresponding to a maximum of 70 kW-is combined into an inverter, where it is converted to 400 VAC AC voltage. In the next phase, energy from up to 30 inverters is transferred to one of 60 or more transformers, raising the voltage level to 20 kV. The energy is transferred from the transformer to the substation built specifically for the solar park. Finally, the voltage level was increased to 110 kV in order to feed energy into the high-voltage transmission network through the solar park. Solarpark Schornhof generates enough electricity to power up to 30,000 homes, which is equivalent to the entire Neuburg-Schrobenhausen rural area.

Anumar chose Delta's solution because the two companies have successfully completed multiple solar projects together over the years. In these projects, Delta has always impressed Anumar with its excellent product knowledge and industry expertise, which has helped establish a long-term, personal and loyal partnership between the two companies.

The Solarpark Schornhof project is located in the Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district southwest of Ingolstadt and is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2021. The funding for the project is based on a 90 MW power purchase agreement (PPA) and the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG).
