Power from the system is converted using the advanced technology of KSTAR smart PV commercial solution that includes AC output overloading up to 110%, SVG function with fast response to the reactive power control,low investment, as well as low consumption and high yields.
The plant comprises of 5832 PV modules (380Wp) connected to 34 KSTAR inverters. It is expected to generate power (up to 3.4 mln kWh annually) and is supplied to the national grid. In addition, the project is co-financed by the ArmSwissBank within the framework of the “Programme for the Promotion of Renewable Energies: German-Armenian Renewable Energy Fund (GAF-RE) Phase III” funded by KfW Development Bank and implemented by the German-Armenian Fund of the Central Bank of Armenia with the technical consultancy of Fichtner.
Choosing Armenia as an important new energy market is one of KSTAR’s overseas developing strategies. Armenia has a significant solar energy potential. The average annual amount of solar energy flow per square meter of horizontal surface is about 1720 kWh (the average European is 1000 kWh). One fourth of the country’s territory is endowed with solar energy resources of 1850 kWh/m2/year, according to Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources of The Republic of Armenia.
