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.
16-17
REAL TURN-KEY SOLUTION
With the HEM, Power Electronics offers a real turn-key solution, including the MV transformer and
switchgear fully assembled and tested at the factory. The HEM is a compact turnkey solution that will
reduce site design, installation and connections costs.

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

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.

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

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.

AUTOMATIC REDUNDANT POWER MODULE SYSTEM (ARPMS)
The HEC V1500 topology combines the advantages of a central inverter with the availability of string
inverters. HEC V1500 is a modular central inverter based on an Automatic Redundant Power Module
(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.

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)

HECPLUS
UTILITY SCALE SOLAR INVERTER
Power Electronics’ HEC PLUS outdoor modular and redundant inverters are the most powerful
and reliable Utility Scale PV Inverters on the market. The upgraded 1000Vdc class inverters
offer an extended MPPt voltage range and maximum efficiency in AC output voltages ranging
from 400Vac to 460Vac, covering all commercial and utility-scale PV facilities.
The HEC PLUS is based on a modular & redundant topology with up to 10 modules that
provide the competitiveness of central inverters and the availability of string inverters. The
HEC PLUS is featured with an outdoor stainless steel enclosure, 50mm mineral isolation
panel and the most advanced iCOOL filter-less system that makes it suitable for the most
demanding conditions.

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,

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.

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)

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:
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.

Any Android or iOS device can easily wirelessly connect to the inverter for a comprehensive and user
friendly interface. Forget about using built-in displays with tiny screens or tedious menus, and allow your
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.
