- Specialized Solar PV & Battery Switchboards, also known as grid protection units (GPU), PV distribution boards (PVDB), and network protection units (NPU).
- Switchboards designed for Microgrids and Stand Alone Power Systems (SAPS) that manage multiple energy sources like BESS, gensets, solar, and grid power.
- Electrical switchboards for EV chargers (EVDB) with advanced load control and phase balancing capabilities.
- Switchboards for Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects incorporating power, protection, control, and SCADA systems.
- On-site Testing & Commissioning services up to 132kV, including protection team management at utility or private substations.
- SCADA, PLC & RTU programming tailored to meet DNSP communication requirements for grid integration.
Innovative Solutions for Solar PV and Battery Integration
Clean Tech Controls excels in providing switchboards that aggregate embedded generation and protect the grid. These solar PV and battery switchboards, often referred to as grid protection units or network protection units, are essential in managing the flow of renewable energy. They ensure that solar power systems connect seamlessly to the grid, maintaining stability and safety. This is crucial as more commercial and residential solar projects come online, demanding smarter, more reliable hardware.
Microgrids and Stand Alone Power Systems: Powering the Future
Microgrids and stand-alone power systems (SAPS) are becoming increasingly important in delivering consistent power, especially in remote or off-grid locations. Clean Tech Controls’ switchboards protect and control these systems by managing various electricity sources such as battery energy storage systems (BESS), generators, solar arrays, and grid connections. This flexibility allows for reliable power supply even in complex energy environments, making them a key player in the transition to decentralized energy.
Advanced Testing, Commissioning, and Programming Services
Beyond manufacturing, Clean Tech Controls offers comprehensive site commissioning services up to 132kV, including the management of protection teams at utility or private substations. Their expertise extends to SCADA system design and PLC/RTU programming, ensuring that new loads and generation sources communicate effectively with distribution network service providers (DNSPs). This integration is vital for maintaining grid stability and optimizing energy flow.
