 HEM
UTILITY SCALE MV CENTRAL STRING INVERTER

The Power Electronics HEM medium voltage inverter is designed for utility scale solar
applications, that require the advantages of a central inverter solution but also the modularity
of a string architecture. The HEM can reach up to a nominal power of 3.6MVA, and offers
a wide MPPT window. It also has the added advantage of having an integrated medium
voltage transformer and switchgear.

Its architecture, composed of six field replaceable units (FRU), is designed to provide the
highest availability and optimize yield production.

Its use in Utility Scale PV plants provides considerable savings in CAPEX, since having an
integrated MV transformer and switchgear reduces the need of additional connections
between the LV and MV sides.

Thanks to the Power Electronics iCOOL3 cooling system, the HEM is the first inverter able to
provide IP65 degree of protection with an air cooling system, and as a result reducing OPEX
costs.

STRING CONCEPT POWER STAGES

The HEM combines the advantages of a central inverter with the
modularity of the string inverters. Its power stages are designed
to be easily replaceable on the field without the need of advanced
technical service personnel, providing a safe, reliable and fast
Plug&Play assembly system.

Following the modular philosophy of the Freesun series, the HEM

is composed of 6 FRUs (field replaceable units), being able to
work with up to 6 different MPPts, providing a perfect solution for
irregular locations, where each area of the PV plant has a different
production curve.

HEM is also available with a single MPPt, where all the power stages
are physically joined in the DC side and therefore, in the event of
a fault, the faulty module is taken off-line and its output power is
distributed evenly among the remaining functioning FRUs.

INNOVATIVE COOLING SYSTEM
Based on more than 3 years of experience with our MV Variable Speed Drive, the iCOOL3 is the first
air-cooling system allowing IP65 degree of protection in an outdoor solar inverter.

iCOOL3 delivers a constant stream of clean air to the FRUs and the MV transformer, being the most
effective way of reaching up to IP65 degree of protection, without having to maintain cumbersome

ROBUST DESIGN
HEM inverter modules have a design life of greater than 30 years of operation in harsh environments
and extreme weather conditions. HEM units are tested and ready to withstand conditions from the
frozen Siberian tundra to the Californian Death Valley, featuring:

• Totally sealed electronics cabinet protects electronics against dust and moisture.

• Conformal coating on electronic boards shields PCBs from harsh atmospheres.

• Temperature and humidity controlled active heating prevents internal water condensation.

• C4 degree of protection according to ISO 12944. Up to C5-M optional.

• 50mm mineral panel isolates the cabinet from solar heat gains.

• Roof cover designed to dissipate solar radiation, reduce heat build-up and avoid water leakages.
The solid HEM structure avoids the need of additional external structures.

• Random units selected to pass a Factory Water Tightness Test ensuring product quality.

 MULTILEVEL TOPOLOGY
The multilevel IGBT topology is the most efficient approach to manage high DC link voltages
and makes the difference in the 1,500 Vdc design. Power Electronics has many years of power
design in both inverters and MV drives and the HEM design is the result of our experience with 3
level topologies. The 3 level IGBT topology reduces stage losses, increases inverter efficiency and
minimizes total harmonic distortion.

EASY TO SERVICE
By providing full front access the HEM series simplifies the maintenance tasks, reducing the MTTR
(and achieving a lower OPEX). The total access allows a fast swap of the FRUs without the need of
qualified technical personnel.

POWER ELECTRONICS / SOLAR INVERTER

EASY TO MONITOR
The Freesun app is an easy way to monitor the status of Power Electronics inverters. All inverters
come with built-in wifi, allowing remote connectivity to any smart device for detailed updates and
information without the need to open cabinet doors. The app user friendly interface allows quick
and easy access to critical information (energy registers, production and events).

HEM
ACTIVE HEATING
At night, when the unit is not actively exporting power, the inverter can import a small amount
of power to keep the inverter internal ambient temperature above -20°C, without using external
resistors. This autonomous heating system is the most efficient and homogeneous way to prevent
condensation, increasing the inverters availability and reducing the maintenance. (patented)

VAR AT NIGHT
At night, the HEM inverter can shift to reactive power compensation mode. The inverter can respond
to an external dynamic signal, a Power Plant Controller command or pre-set reactive power level
(kVAr).

ECON MODE
This innovative control mode allows increasing the efficiency of the MV transformer up to 25%,
reducing the power consumption of the plant and therefore providing considerable savings.

Available as an optional kit, this feature has a pay-back time of less than a few years, therefore
resulting in the increase of the plant lifetime overall revenue.

 MULTILEVEL TOPOLOGY
The multilevel IGBT topology is the most efficient approach to manage high DC link voltages
and makes the difference in the 1,500 Vdc design. Power Electronics has many years of power
design in both inverters and MV drives and the HEMK design is the result of our experience with 3
level topologies. The 3 level IGBT topology reduces stage losses, increases inverter efficiency and
minimizes total harmonic distortion.

EASY TO SERVICE
By providing full front access the HEMK series simplifies the maintenance tasks, reducing the MTTR
(and achieving a lower OPEX). The total access allows a fast swap of the FRUs without the need of
qualified technical personnel.

EASY TO MONITOR
The Freesun app is an easy way to monitor the status of Power Electronics inverters. All inverters
come with built-in wifi, allowing remote connectivity to any smart device for detailed updates and
information without the need to open cabinet doors. The app user friendly interface allows quick
and easy access to critical information (energy registers, production and events).

HEMK
ACTIVE HEATING
At night, when the unit is not actively exporting power, the inverter can import a small amount
of power to keep the inverter internal ambient temperature above -20°C, without using external
resistors. This autonomous heating system is the most efficient and homogeneous way to prevent
condensation, increasing the inverters availability and reducing the maintenance. (patented)

VAR AT NIGHT
At night, the HEMK inverter can shift to reactive power compensation mode. The inverter can
respond to an external dynamic signal, a Power Plant Controller command or pre-set reactive power
level (kVAr).

The Power Electronics HEC V1500 are reliable 1500Vdc outdoor utility-scale inverters, with
more than 2.5GW already installed worldwide. The HEC V1500 inverter family has 25 different
models ranging from 1MW to 3.5MW, and it is available for the IEC and UL market.

With up to seven 500kW power modules connected in parallel, the HEC V1500 is a multi-
level 1500Vdc system built on the Power Electronics expertise in >1,000Vdc systems and in
the proven Freesun HEC modular topology.

The HEC V1500 power stage is based on a multi-level IGBT topology, which makes the

(350kVA to 500kVA per stage).

If there is a fault in one power module, it is taken off-line and its output power is distributed evenly
among the remaining functioning modules. All power modules work in parallel controlled by a dual
redundant main control. As the main governor of the system it is responsible for the MPPt tracking,
synchronization sequence and overall protection. The automatic redundant capability based on our
industrial systems is able to shift the main control in the event of a fault, restoring the backup control
and restarting the station to guarantee high availability. (patent pending)

A modular inverter is more efficient than a standard central inverter. During low radiation conditions,
a modular architecture uses the correct number of power modules to provide power, while a central
inverter must consume power internally to support the entire system. With lower losses, a modular
inverter can provide power earlier in the morning and stop later at the end of the day. As a result,
throughout the entire service life of the PV plant, the HEC V1500 inverter generates higher yields than
a standard central inverter with a higher reliability than string inverters.

BACK FEED TRACKER SUPPLY

During solar power plant normal operation, the solar trackers are powered by the grid via the
auxiliary service transformer. In case of a loss of mains, a UPS with battery systems is needed for
powering the solar trackers and ensures achieving the safety position.

Battery systems increase the CAPEX and the OPEX of the project, due to a high maintenance
requirement, extra energy consumption and battery replacement. In order to avoid these
disadvantages, HEC V1500 inverter is able to provide the safety power supply required without
using battery systems, taking profit of the energy available in the PV field, and therefore offering
the most cost-effective solution in the market.

 iCOOL V REVOLUTIONARY COOLING SYSTEM
The Power Electronics HEC V1500 series includes the innovative and sophisticated iCOOL V
performance that allows HEC V1500 to work up to 50°C at nominal power. The cooling system
iCOOL V smartly cools the inverter, regulating the cooling system capacity depending on the data
from the temperature sensors.

HEC V1500 modules are divided into two main areas: clean area (electronics) and hot area (heat
sink). The electronics are totally sealed and use a temperature control low flow cooling system that
reduces filters clogging and maintenance intervals. The hot area integrates a speed controlled fan
for each module, simplifying the cooling system and reducing the maintenance tasks.

Furthermore, due to the modular topology, the iCOOL V reduces the Stand-by consumption at low
capacity to the maximum, boosting the cooling capacity for photovoltaic installations situated up
to 4000 meters above sea level. (patent pending)

PV ARRAY TRANSFER KIT
By mounting this kit, the inverter and the PV plant will be able to shift its running conditions from
negative grounded array to floating array and viceversa. Under regular conditions the inverter will
be running with a negative pole grounded and therefore, a GDFI will provide protection against

HEC V1500
unlikely ground fault defects and the solar cells will not suffer a negative voltage relative to their
surroundings at any time. This running mode can be transfered to a floating array configuration
enabling an isolation monitoring device that the O&M can use for: regular PV plant isolation control,
identification of the array affected by a ground fault defect and most important, increase the
operator safety under O&M service activities.

DC DISCONNECTION & PROTECTION

HEC V1500 is available with an external DC disconnection and protection unit (DU unit) that will be
coupled together with the inverter by a mounting kit. The DC subsystems are fully customizable and
can be featured with up to 32 inputs.

The disconnecting unit goes one step further by improving the PV plant safety and operation for
those who apply the best engineering.

EXTENDED MPPT
Using the latest modulation techniques, inspired by the most accurate and powerful motor control
applications, has lead to the widest MPPt full power window in the solar market. It allows optimal
PV plant design and boosted performance rates.

EASY TO SERVICE
By providing full front and rear access the
HEC series simplifies the maintenance tasks
improving the MTTR (achieving a lower OPEX).
The frontal access allows the checking of the
whole electronic cabinet (electronics boards,
semiconductors, power supply, contactors...)
while the rear access permits the revision of
AC fuses and LCL filter.

 AUTOMATIC REDUNDANT MODULAR MULTI-MASTER SYSTEM
The HEC PLUS is a central inverter based on an Automatic Redundant Modular Multi-Master System
(200kVA to 250kVA per module).

The unit’s redundant multi-master capability translates into more availability and therefore more
power production. Modularity allows for the use of fewer type of components throughout the product
range, reducing maintenance costs and simplifying the stock of spare parts.

ROBUST DESIGN
HEC PLUS inverters have been designed to last for more than 25 years of operation in harsh
environments and extreme weather conditions. HEC PLUS units are tested and ready to withstand
conditions from the frozen siberian tundra to the californian Death Valley, featuring:

• Totally sealed cabin for protecting electronics against dust and moisture.
• Conformal coating on electronic boards shields PCBs from harsh atmospheres.
• Temperature and humidity controlled active heating prevents internal water condensation.
• Stainless Steel construction with 2mm thickness for maximum enclosure longevity.
• Anti-corrosive polymeric C4 paint coat according to ISO 9223 used in the most unforgiving
environments. The HEC PLUS is also available in a C5-M degree of protection by request.
• 50mm mineral panel isolates the cabinet from solar heat gains.
• Roof cover designed to dissipate solar radiation, reduce heat build-up and avoid water leakages.
The solid HEC PLUS structure avoids the need of additional external structures.
• Random units selected to pass a Factory Water Tightness Test ensuring product quality.

 iCOOL REVOLUTIONARY COOLING SYSTEM
In Power Electronics we don’t believe in cost cutting when it affects the quality of the product and
that’s why we oversize sensitive components and improve the sophisticated iCOOL performance
that allow HEC PLUS to work at 50°C. Our know how in mining, water treatment plants and CSP
facilities located in the most demanding locations all over the world have given us the necessary
experience to develop the perfect technical solution for our outdoor solar inverters.

HEC PLUS modules are divided into two main areas: clean area (electronics) and hot area (filters
and heat sink). The electronics are totally sealed and use a temperature control low flow cooling
system that reduces filters clogging and maintenance intervals. The hot area integrates independent
and speed controlled fans per each module, reducing to the maximum the Stand-by consumption at
low capacity and boosting the cooling capacity for PV installation situated at higher altitudes than
3000 meters above sea level.

 PV ARRAY TRANSFER KIT
By mounting this kit, the inverter and the PV plant will be able to shift its running conditions from
negative grounded array to floating array and viceversa. Under regular conditions the inverter will
be running with a negative pole grounded and therefore, a GDFI will provide protection against
unlikely ground fault defects and the solar cells will not suffer a negative voltage relative to their
surroundings at any time. This running mode can be transfered to a floating array configuration
enabling an isolation monitoring device that the O&M can use for: regular PV plant isolation control,
identification of the array affected by a ground fault defect and most important, increase the
operator safety under O&M service activities.

applications, has lead to the widest MPPt full power window in the solar market. It allows optimal
PV plant design and boosted performance rates.

ACTIVE HEATING
At night, when the unit is not actively exporting power, the inverter can import a small amount
of power to keep the inverter internal ambient temperature above -20°C, without using external
resistors. This autonomous heating system is the most efficient and homogeneous way to prevent
condensation, increasing the inverters availability and reducing the maintenance.(patented)

 AUTOMATIC REDUNDANT MODULAR MULTI-MASTER SYSTEM
The HE PLUS is a central inverter based on an Automatic Redundant Modular Multi-Master System
(200kVA to 250kVA per module).

The unit’s redundant multi-master capability translates into more availability and therefore more
power production. Modularity allows for the use fewer types of components throughout the product
range, reducing maintenance costs and simplifying the stock of spare parts.

DYNAMIC GRID SUPPORT

HE PLUS firmware includes the latest utility interactive features (LVRT, OVRT, FRS, FRT, Anti-islanding,
active and reactive power curtailment…), and is compatible with all the specific requirements of the
utilities.

 VAR AT NIGHT
At night, the HE PLUS inverter can shift to reactive power compensation mode. The inverter can
respond to an external dynamic signal, a Power Plant Controller command or pre-set reactive power
level (kVAr).

EASY TO SERVICE
Its modular design allows for isolation and replacement of all the components with no effort, saving
time and money during routine inspections. Each module is equipped with guided wheels that
enable an easy frontal extraction only with the aid of the delivered trolley.

ACTIVE HEATING
At night, when the unit is not actively exporting power, the inverter can import a small amount
of power to keep the inverter internal ambient temperature above -20°C, without using external
resistors. This autonomous heating system is the most efficient and homogeneous way to prevent
condensation, increasing the inverters availability and reducing the maintenance. (patent pending)

UTILITY SCALE SOLAR STATION

The MV Skid is a compact turnkey outdoor platform made from high resistance galvanized
steel with all the medium voltage equipment integrated, including an outdoor power
transformer, MV switchgear, oil tank, filter and built in fast power connection to any HEC
solar inverter.

With between 400V-460V and 565V-690V in the low voltage range and 12kV to 36kV in
the high voltage range, this compact platform achieves power outputs between 1050kVA
and 3800kVA when combined with the HEC solar inverter series. This compact solution also
allows the installation of a low voltage cabinet that is fully configurable to the customer
needs as well as different types of cells and even an enclosure fence among other options.

The MV SKID simplifies the project design of the PV plant, reducing installation costs and the
amount of resources needed. The benefits of the MV Skid and the fact that it is also easier to
transport and deliver into remote sites makes it the optimal solution for EPC`s (engineering,
procurement and construction).

 STRING SUPERVISOR BOXES - IEC
DISCONNECTION AND PROTECTION
Considering that large photovoltaic systems normally connect a great number of strings in parallel, it can be difficult
to detect malfunctions in individual modules. With the string supervisor system developed by Power Electronics, we
enhance plant efficiency and module protection by monitoring and protecting between 8 to 24 independent channels.
Every string supervisor box comes with:

• Maximum 1000Vdc and compatible with any module.

• Positive and negative poles can be fuse protected.
• Built-in overvoltage protection.
• IP65 robust outdoor enclosure with low maintenance and minimal wear.
• Low stand-by consumption.
• RS485 Modbus TCP communication.
• Flexible wiring and connection.

SFS 16, 24 STRING SUPERVISOR

STRUCTURE MOUNTED
IEC compliant string supervisor that can monitor between 8 to 24 individual
channels. It is suitable to mount over the structure of the PV panels.

DISCONNECTION AND PROTECTION

DC BUILT-IN
It is a combination of DC fuses and on-load disconnectors that can be fitted in
one or two module frames. This solution leads to a limitation of the maximum
inverter modules that can be fitted in the same inverter frame size.

INRUSH CURRENT LIMITER - SD7ICL

Inspired by the most accurate and powerful motor control applications and
the extensive experience of Power Electronics in the variable speed drive
market, Power Electronics has designed the kit SD7ICL which can provide a
voltage ramp up on the MV Transformer by the LV side, allowing a transformer
soft load, minimizing its inrush current and therefore avoiding fluctuations in
the grid. (patent pending)

field technicians to service outdoor units in rain, snow or sun scorching conditions, without opening or
standing in front of the unit.

In its bid to create an application for mobile devices Power Electronics presents our Freesun app for
monitoring our solar inverters. It is available on Android and iOS operating systems and can be used on
both smartphones and tablets.

The Freesun application makes it easy to connect to our modular solar inverters via wifi. It is possible to
perform the following tasks: monitor the key performance parameters of equipment, monitor operating
statuses of diagnostics, module comparisons, values of incidents and many more.

The application, through a careful and simple interface, displays data graphically and numerically. It also
provides comparative information at the level of modules as well as showing detailed information of the
entire system. Easy and intuitive to use; with this application you can automatically identify Freesun solar
inverters available on the local network and store information from inverters to communicate with them
at any time.
