When supplied with an energy storage system (ESS), that ESS is comprised of 80 pad-mounted lithium-ion battery cabinets, each with an energy storage capacity of 3 MWh for a total of 240 MWh of storage. The ESS cabinet includes a bidirectional inverter rated at 750 kW ac (four-hour discharge rate) for a total of 60 MW ac.
The DC conductors are connected to 220 three-phase string inverters, each rated at 10 kW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 2.2 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.37. The inverters are made in China in a plant that produces 100,000 of them each year and are subject to 25% import tariff.
The DC cables are connected to 19 utility-scale central inverters, each rated at 4 MW ac, giving the PV system a rated AC power output of 76 MW ac, which corresponds to an inverter loading ratio of 1.32. The inverters are made in Europe in a plant that produces 250 of them each year. These inverters are not subject to import tariffs.
