CASE STUDY Improvement of 34MW Site SITUATION/CHALLENGE BGE took over the site in December 2015; the site is 34MW but was performing badly with multiple issues, such as 288 string boxes that needed to be replaced, regular inverter failures and large sections of the park disconnected. BGE SOLUTION BGE deployed a team of engineers to work through the site inspecting, testing and repairing all issues. OUTCOME Within 3 months, BGE engineers recovered the production back to 99% availability and reconnected 1.5MW of faulty or disconnected strings, resulting in a jump of PR to 96%. The park has consistently produced above expectations since the intervention.

CASE STUDY 3 Inverter repowering on 15.6MW site SITUATION/CHALLENGE This 15.6MW solar farm was taken over by BGE in December 2017. The site had been experiencing high failure rates at Station 8 due to readings from faulty inverters over the previous two years. BGE SOLUTION Our engineering and 24/7 monitoring teams located the faulty site and retrofit works began on 1st June 2020. The construction of a centralised solution was undertaken which saw 18 x SMA string inverters mounted alongside the existing inverter station. OUTCOME After just 21 days of construction, and once new configuration codes were sent to GPM for monitoring, Station 8 was confirmed operational on 22nd June 2020. The summer months following the installation saw an average PR improvement compared to the previous year of over 10%. The production uplift and maintenance savings together imply a payback period of only 5 years. “We are all VERY impressed with the quality (and beauty) of this installation.
