TMEIC Solar Ware Samurai 1.667MW Inverter has Heat Pipe Cooling
TMEIC Corporation has introduced the Solar Ware® Samurai 1.667 MW Inverter, approved for outdoor installation. The new inverter is the latest addition to TMEIC's portfolio of PV utility scale solar inverters for industrial markets. The multilevel inverter configuration eliminates 56% of switching losses, pushing overall efficiency up to 98.7%. Heat-pipe air cooling results in improved reliability and a smaller footprint (about 5.75 square meters). Up to 12 of these Samurai inverters can be paralleled for a total power capability of 20MW. This is TMEIC’s first heat pipe air cooled PV inverter design and is delivered in a NEMA3R/4 outdoor enclosure.
"The Solar Ware Samurai is a revolutionary new inverter for the solar industry. The Samurai's new thermal solution offers a cooling system designed for the desert environment," says Donn Samsa, Director of Marketing, TMEIC. "It is the result of decades of research and development to create the most advanced inverters in the industry."
TMEIC developed the grid connection features of this new inverter working with Japanese power companies. These grid connection features include power factor control, reactive/active power control fault ride through (both voltage ride through and frequency ride through) and TMEIC’s proprietary anti-islanding capability that utilizes a slip-mode frequency shift technique. Fault analysis capabilities include a fault event log and waveform acquisition via a memory card.
The Solar Ware® Samurai inverter's unique features include: Patented new 3 Level Multilevel Inverter Technology; Maximized and optimized efficiency; Wide MPPT range (550Vdc - 950Vdc) allowing for best in class dc/ac ratios; Flexible dc-input configuration to meet complex array configuration; New cooling system for desert environments; and Proprietary anti-islanding technology uses slip-mode frequency shift methodology.
