👌👌👌👌👌
Great job explaining a lot of material! You explained just the right balance of easy to understand while being technically useful. would you mind talking about the space required for a solar power plant, as well the output wattage of the panels ie. is 460w better than 550 or 350W. Thank you
@wolfmanj3 The space required for a solar PV power plant depends on several factors such as the total wattage of the panels, the efficiency of the panels, and the desired output of the plant. Generally, a 1 MW solar PV power plant requires approximately 4 acres of land. However, this can vary based on the specific conditions and design of the power plant.
In terms of panel wattage, higher wattage panels such as 550W and 460W may have advantages in terms of space utilization and efficiency. With higher wattage panels, fewer panels are required to generate the same amount of power compared to lower wattage panels. This can lead to space savings, which can be particularly beneficial for large-scale power plants where land can be a significant cost.
However, it's important to note that higher wattage panels may also be more expensive, and their installation and maintenance may require specialized equipment and expertise. Additionally, the selection of panel wattage should be based on factors such as the available space, local solar irradiance levels, and project budget, among others.
Overall, the choice of panel wattage depends on several factors, and it's important to evaluate each project's unique requirements and constraints to determine the most appropriate solution.
Im currently building a PV power plant, grid-connected, power 735KW, that will produce around 1.100MWh annually. Fixed mounting, bi-facial panels, string inverters, connected on grid with cable to city substation that is 4km far. I plan to sell the electricity for about 100eur/mwh. Your video helped me alot, please your thoughts, thanks!
@pericagligorijevski that's good to hear that you're a renewable energy supporter!
The energy pricing is going to be dependent on your PPA (Power Purchase Agreement). Would you be able to share the PV Power plant location so I can support researching for options?
@@SCADASupportPh yes, its located in North Macedonia, the KWp is around 1500, considering the geolocation( 280 sunny days, average 5h per day sun ) but also the bifacial panels. Im also searching for options for max production -what to place below the panels so im reading the comments on your video and would like some tests if possible for white marble, gravel, or even nylon...
How is your project going ?
yeah @pericagligorijevski2336, we'd be happy to know the status or any update on the above mentioned project.
Hello there. I had slight delays for administrative things, permissions etc. But today the construction is stsrting. In 2 months will be finished and i will do an update.
Explained in very clear voice and language. Is there any possibility to get this file in pdf or pptx ? Thank you.
@tay Thank you, I'm glad to help out.
unfortunately, my backup copies were purged from my hard drive, so this video is the only copy available.
Great video. I have some question
1) at 16:29 of the video, I see a small solar module (above the data logger) on the MET. What is it used for?
2) Is there some other link or videos where I can get the P&ID for study of such a PV power plant?
Thank you
That would be the "Reference Cell", it is used to measure the actual irradiance on a tilted angle. Absolutely, I'll make a video exclusively for the Met Station and share it with you guys.
Thanks!
@@SCADASupportPh so there is a reference cell in addition to the reference module present in the arrays. Thank you that clears my doubt..waiting for the next video.
@@dhanashripatankar676 for some additional context on the Meteorological Data Acquisition System (MDAS) for PV Systems: th-cam.com/video/hw4_T5cqZ7Y/w-d-xo.html
very well made, could you please provide us with the powerpoint
Great video. Do you have references for the material presented here?
@Haritha thanks! hope you liked it.
What I did here is compile all the learnings I got from my previous work experiences and have them formatted for a more general audience. If you have topics in mind related to the solar industry or use of SCADA in renewables, please feel free to suggest and I'll try my best to accommodate them.
@@SCADASupportPh Thanks for your reply to my comment. I do have a few suggestions: In the other video about SCADA, you had mentioned a little bit about SCADA control function (software section). It would be great if you can provide a little bit more information about the controls, for example, wind stowing controls and how it communicates with the MET system? can SCADA over-ride wind stow safety commands, etc., Also, any inputs on standards to refer to for control and protection systems for solar PV would be great.
@Haritha Yes, the control functionality will only exist if your Software has "Write" functionality or commands to your field devices.
For wind stow functionality, the tracker angle is the one being controlled here and there should be a controller or a PLC near the tracker system that would recognize / interpret the signal from your SCADA system and would interact with the motor of each tracker.
On the met station, there would be a remote Data Logger that would act as local data acquisition system..... - and I'll make sure to publish the video I have in the pipeline for this.
The experience I got that are related to Control and Protection systems are more on the standard hardware - Circuit Breakers , Disconnects, and for those that are within the Substation ; RTAC, Protection /Feeder Relays, etc
@@SCADASupportPh Thank you for a detailed response. Looking forward to more videos on this subject!
Hi everyone,
I have a couple of question, Can a common switchgear be used for both battery and solar in 3-7 MW َAC-Coupled projects, and then connected to a transformer and grid, or should separate switchgears be considered for the battery and transformer, separate from the solar system?
Moreover, the voltage and frequency of the Inverter and PCS systems are exactly the same.
Thanks
@alirezakosari , It's possible but I would say a risky approach and will be dependent to the specific requirements of the project, the design of the switchgear, and the regulations in the location where the project will be installed.
Based on sites that I've seen and worked on, there are separate switchgears for the BESS and transformer, separate from the solar PV energy system considering safety requirements, reliability in operation as well as different protection requirements.
Regarding the voltage and frequency of the Inverter and PCS systems being exactly the same, this can simplify the system design and reduce the need for additional equipment, however it is still important to ensure that all components are properly sized and integrated to mitigate any issues during daily operations that could potentially lead to damage or safety issues.
what is the length and width of solar panel?
Varies by solar modules/panel. For example Qcell 400W are 74*41, Sunrun 360W are 42 wide - 64 lenght i believe
@arindar4310 the length and width of the solar panel would be dependent on the number of Solar Modules. The response from @babygangster4486 is correct when we talk about a single Solar module. The difference between a solar Module vs a solar Panel is also being discussed here : th-cam.com/video/K12l9J3pLIU/w-d-xo.html
There is a big substation around 6 km from my power plant base. Is this means that I don't need to build a local substation in my 10 mw power plant and can use that one instead?
@caveman thanks for your comment. I do have some items that needs further clarification on:
1. What is the relationship of the big substation to your power plant? is it a part of your system, or dedicated for a different entity? (e.g. Utility, or other systems)
2. If you have a 10MW Solar Power Plant, are you sending energy production to the Grid or Utility?
@@SCADASupportPh 1-The substation doesn't belong to my power plant, it's for the city 2- The power plant energy would be for the grid.
@@Caveman00BC based on the answers you have above, I would assume that the system you have now is not to be considered as a Power Plant but a large commercial PV system wherein you have no controls on the output generation like curtailment, deration and the like. Meaning, at any given point in time, the total output power of your system is equivalent to the sum of your (online) inverter's power output.
With a PV plant this size, I would suggest to coordinate with your EPC ( Engineering, procurement and construction) team, to revisit the design and the regulatory framework affecting such
substation installations as well as the grid connection agreement. Grid connection and potential substation
requirements should be listed on the Initial Electrical Layouts.
Key electrical systems must be designed in detail. This will include equipment required for protection, earthing and interconnection to the grid. The following
designs and specifications should be prepared during procurement stage:
• Overall single line diagrams.
• Medium voltage (MV) and low voltage (LV) switch
gear line diagrams.
• Protection systems.
• Interconnection systems and design.
• Auxiliary power requirements.
• Control systems.
@@SCADASupportPh Exactly, And thank you for your detailed answer.
hi guy.
What the SCADA software did you use?
@ThohayViệtNam for projects in Europe that was built around year 2000, we used WinCC by SIMATIC, but it has it's limitations. While project in the US, the majority is built with Wonderware by AVEVA - these are more costly but does the job as we need it to be.
How about on your side?

Thanks you very much very informative, I thought solar plant use battery to store energy, in this case its direct from panel to the inverter, did I get it right sir? Thank you
@frederickdelatonga prior to 2019 there are only 2 types of Solar Energy system installations, the OFF-GRID; which uses backup battery for energy storage and night time demand and the other is GRID-TIED systems; grid backfeeding which is the one being described in this presentation.
Beginning 2020 the HYBRID; grid tied system + battery storage solution became popular with the addition of the it's components (charge controllers, battery bank, battery-based grid-tie inverter etc).
Battery storage are popular mainly on residential and commercial usage, however when it comes to power plants, the ROI for battery storage vs the cost of adding it on top of an existing or new Power Plant's implementation cost is still for debate.
@@SCADASupportPh thank you very much sir
@@SCADASupportPh you mean to say sir, solar plant can only use in day time, and they don't have a day of autonomy in case of bad weather because they dont have a power bank? Thank you sir
@@frederickdelatonga8849 The statement you have above is fairly right, as the output / performance of a PV plant (without battery storage) is relative to the irradiation from a specific light source ; which in case the Sun. The Power being generated by your PV system is linear to the irradiance being received by solar panels.
Thank you sir!
@@SCADASupportPh thank you so much sir
