A photovoltaic (PV) step-up substation is a facility that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by PV power generation units into high-voltage alternating current (AC). Its core principle involves utilizing power equipment such as transformers and inverters to convert and boost the DC voltage.
Specifically, PV power generation units absorb solar energy through solar panels, converting light energy into DC electricity, which is then transmitted to the PV step-up substation. Within the substation, the DC voltage first needs to be increased. This is because the DC voltage generated by PV units is typically relatively low and insufficient for direct grid connection. Therefore, the PV step-up substation boosts the DC voltage via a transformer, enabling it to be fed into the grid.
Product Features
The 35kV PV step-up substation is a box-type substation that takes the three-phase AC power output from the solar box-type inverter station or inverter house, steps up the voltage locally via a step-up transformer to 35kV three-phase AC, and integrates it into the grid for operation.
The PV box-type step-up substation features a rational and compact system layout. It comprises three main parts: the low-voltage inlet panel, the dual-split transformer, and the high-voltage outlet panel. These are independently installed in three separate compartments, arranged in an “I”-shape or “L”-shape configuration. It offers complete functionality and ease of maintenance. The low-voltage compartment is equipped with a remote terminal unit (RTU) and a power supply transformer, enabling remote control of the substation and self-powered operation, meeting the requirements of PV power generation systems.
