The solution to cost-effective hybridisation of renewable and carbon-based energy sources has taken a major step forward thanks to Zigor, the international producer of energy conversion systems, electronic power devices and renewable energy solutions.
Highly available, top quality power with the lowest cost per KWh can be obtained using the Zigor product portfolio: SEPEC and HIS/HIT inverters for single phase and three phase power respectively.
Delivering consistent energy supply at the lowest possible cost
As renewable energy sources are neither manageable nor available on demand, combining them with energy supplied from the grid and/or a diesel generator, plus storage via a battery, provides cost-efficient and reliable energy while reducing CO2 emissions. It differs from existing systems as it can incrementally add energy to the demand or user from the available energy sources, for example: grid, generator, solar, wind and battery. It follows a program to deliver energy at the lowest possible cost.
The Zigor SEPEC solution has been thoroughly tested and is currently in use in Spain where it delivers a high return on investment, taking into account both initial investment and maintenance costs.
Off grid power generation
This system has many applications including generating power in rural or remote locations which are not connected to the grid so are heavily reliant on costly diesel power generation. The HIS/HIT inverter reduces fuel costs and CO2 emissions by replacing diesel power with renewable energy when it is available. This is particularly suited to telecom sites in remote locations where power generation had previously been prohibitively expensive.
Reducing costs and CO2 emissions
The Zigor SEPEC solution is also applicable to on-grid sites where CO2 and cost reduction are priorities. In addition, the system can manage wind or solar energy sources so that they provide a continuous high quality power supply due to the sophisticated energy conversion and control system combined with battery back-up.
