| 18.12.2013: German inverter manufacturer SMA Solar Technology AG has commissioned its first PV-diesel hybrid system using its SMA Fuel Save Solution. The system, located on the island of Vava’u, Tonga in the Asia Pacific region, integrates a newly installed 500 kW ground-mounted PV system with Vava’u’s diesel power station. The solar park, which includes battery storage, will offset up to 70% of Vava’u’s electricity demand during the day and approximately 13% of the annual demand of the island. The PV system is projected to offset an average of 225,000 liters of diesel each year. In addition to the ground-mounted PV modules and the battery storage unit, the solar park includes 21 SMA Sunny Tripower 20000TL inverters, 15 SMA Sunny Backup 5000 inverters and the SMA Fuel Save Controller, which enables the smart integration of PV while leaving the diesel generators unaffected. The project was developed by Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy company Masdar and was financed through a grant provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. Tonga aims to cover 50% of its electricity demand with renewable energy sources by 2020. © PHOTON http://www.sma.de http://www.sma.de/uploads/media/20131216_PR_SMA_PV-Diesel-Hybrid-Syste
