How Many Photovoltaic Booster Substations Are Needed In Photovoltaic Power Generation Projects Is Often Determined By These Factors

09-03 2024 | By:

 

Often, photovoltaic booster substations are used in the terminal link of the entire photovoltaic power generation process to increase the voltage of “photovoltaic” and transmit it to the grid. Some friends may not know how many photovoltaic box transformers are needed in a photovoltaic project, and what factors determine this. The following photovoltaic box transformer manufacturers will take you to understand.

Scale and power of power station

The scale and power of photovoltaic power generation projects are important factors in determining how many photovoltaic booster substations are needed. Usually, the capacity of each substation is generally around 500 kilovolt-amperes (kVA), so the larger the total capacity of the project, the more photovoltaic booster substations are needed.

2. Power station layout and terrain

The layout and terrain of the power station are also factors that need to be considered. If the power station is widely distributed, the terrain is complex, or the power needs to be transmitted to different places, more substations are needed to ensure the stability and reliability of power transmission.

3. Load rate and reserve rate of substation
The load rate and reserve rate of substation are also factors affecting the number of photovoltaic booster box substations. The load rate refers to the ratio of the actual power output capacity of the substation to its rated capacity, and the reserve rate refers to the measures such as spare equipment, spare power or spare personnel reserved to ensure the reliability of substation operation. If the load rate is high or the reserve rate is low, more photovoltaic booster box substations are needed to ensure the normal operation of power transmission.

4. Funding budget and equipment type
The equipment type and price of photovoltaic booster box substations are also factors to be considered. If the project funds are limited, it is necessary to choose equipment with moderate price and reliable performance to reduce the number of photovoltaic booster box substations.

In the end, how many photovoltaic booster box substations are needed in a project and what kind of photovoltaic box transformers need to be configured may ultimately be determined by the box transformer drawings, which are designed and evaluated by design units with relevant qualifications and experts in this field. And the final equipment is also customized by the box transformer manufacturer with accurate box transformer drawings and quotation.
