Ingeteam wins 170 MW
inverter order for three PV
plants in Morocco
Ingeteam will supply 35 inverter stations
I
ngeteam has commenced the
supply of its equipment to three
solar photovoltaic power plants in
Morocco, totalling 170 MW of output
power. These three PV plants, which will
be amongst the largest in North Africa,
are expected to be operating within
a year and to have a service life of at
least 20 years.
The power produced is to be supplied to
the Moroccan power distribution grid,
serving to cover the energy demand of
thousands of homes in Morocco.
This will make it possible to slightly
reduce the country’s heavy reliance on
foreign energy sources, given the fact
that this North African country imports
90% of all the energy it consumes.
The execution of this project comes
within the framework of the target set
by Morocco, to produce 52% of all its
energy from renewable energy sources
by year 2030.

The solution supplied, namely Inverter
Station, features Ingeteam’s new dual
photovoltaic inverters and a medium
voltage skid that integrates all the
necessary components in order to inject
to the grid the solar output power after
transforming it from low to medium
voltage. Thus, the power transformer,
the oil deposit, the medium voltage
switchgear, the ancillary services
transformer and the low voltage
switchgear, are supplied integrated into
a single metal platform or skid.
Ingeteam’s dual PV inverters belong to
the INGECON® SUN PowerMax B Series
and are able to provide up to 2.55 MW
at 1,000 Vdc. On the other hand, the
1,500 Vdc inverter version can supply
up to 3.6 MW in a single 5,600 x 890 x
2,260 mm equipment, which makes it
one of the market leaders in the field of
power density thanks to its 317 kW/m3.
The solution supplied achieves up
to 4.66 MW per Inverter Station,
featuring dual inverters with 1,000 Vdc
technology. These new inverters have
been especially designed to withstand
adverse ambient conditions.
In the African continent, Ingeteam
is responsible for the operation and
maintenance of 230 MW divided into
five different South African PV plants.
Moreover, Ingeteam has been recently
awarded the supply and commissioning
of the protection, control and metering
systems for three substations in Malawi.
Scope of supply
For this project Ingeteam is supplying:
• 35 inverter stations fitted with all the
necessary equipment to inject medium
voltage power: dual photovoltaic
inverters, LV/MV transformer, medium
voltage switchgear, auxiliary services
transformer and low voltage switchgear.
• Commissioning of the system.
• Operation and maintenance service. n
