Statcon Energiaa’s Newest Offering- Microgrid Energy Corridor System

Delhi-based power electronics manufacturer company, Statcon Energiaa won the prestigious award for renewable energy excellence at the REI Expo 2022 held at Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. The award category was ‘Excellence in RE Storage Solutions. The innovative product, titled ‘Microgrid Energy Corridor System’, provides uninterrupted supply to a microgrid using various renewable energy resources. It is also used to connect various microgrids through AC Coupling.

The key features of the Microgrid Energy System are as follows:

• Combines multiple renewables: Can combine multiple renewable sources like solar, biomass, wind, and micro hydro to provide seamless, uninterrupted power to the microgrid.
• A plug-n-play outdoor solution which requires zero infrastructure for operation. It requires no AJB, ACDB, or protections as all these are in-built.
• Provides battery storage to store energy using all types of external storage technologies like lead acid, gel, lithium as well as flow batteries.
• In-built interface for diesel generators to charge the batteries and cater to loads.
• Smartness through IoT-based multilevel remote monitoring and control, and hence, giving operator level ease of operation.
• Supports both AC coupling and DC coupling to increase system scalability,
• AC-AC power transfer for connecting multiple microgrids.
• Zero downtime owing to its reliable and redundant design.
• 100% technology ownership: Statcon Energiaa claims that no company currently offers a single solution for microgrids apart from a few assemblers who do not own the individual components (MPPT chargers, inverters, and so on), leading to zero sense of ownership. This compromises the system’s reliability in the long run. Consequently, microgrid owners replace such products within a year of installation and then switch to some other similar available product.

The innovation offered by Statcon Energiaa, the firm says, is indigenously designed and developed with all its components like transformers, cabinets, power stacks PCBs, and software designed in India. Thus, it boasts 100% control over technology. The product allows microgrid operators to not only operate with peace of mind but also have the confidence to expand them in the future. Statcon Energiaa offers highly competitive pricing for this innovative solution to cater to a growing microgrid demand, the firm says.
