FGI Static Var Generator SVG Powers Kubuqi PV Project: Sustainable Desert Transformation & Clean Energy

I. Background

The Kubuqi Desert, China's seventh-largest, has been a major focus for ecological management. Desertification threatens its ecosystem and nearby economies. However, this barren area is rich in solar energy. Photovoltaic (PV) desert control projects effectively use this resource to improve the environment.

These projects build large PV power stations in the desert using advanced technology. The solar panels generate clean electricity for surrounding areas, and also stabilize sand and prevent wind erosion.

This project showcases an innovative, multi-faceted approach to desert control, leveraging solar technology to generate power, revitalize land, and boost rural economies.

• Pioneering Technology: This is China's first large-scale PV desert control project to extensively use flexible support materials in a desert environment.
• Enhanced Power Generation: It utilizes bifacial solar modules for double-sided power generation, boosting electricity output by 5-10%.
• Multi-dimensional Ecological Planting: High-quality forage grass and medicinal herbs are cultivated beneath the solar panels.
• Innovative "Livestock-Forage Coupling": A unique desert control technique is employed between the panels, starting with raising chickens, then sheep.
• Soil Improvement and Sustainability: Livestock manure is returned to the fields, aiding desert control and soil improvement.
• "PV+" Benefits: The project delivers multiple advantages, including power generation above the panels, planting below, breeding between, desert control and soil improvement, and rural revitalization.

II. FGI's Solution

Currently, several power stations within the Kubuqi PV desert control project are already connected to the grid. FGI provided 8 high-power Static Var Generator (SVG) devices, contributing to the smooth grid connection of the photovoltaic power generation project. Based on different on-site requirements, both indoor and outdoor models were configured for users. Each device is connected to the on-site integrated automation system, enabling remote monitoring and real-time upload of operational data, which facilitates convenient operation and maintenance.

III. Advantages of the Solution

FGI actively responds to policy and industry demands, and considering equipment operational performance, has iterated on its dynamic reactive power compensation devices multiple times, resulting in the following advantages:

1. Excellent High and Low Voltage Ride-Through Capability Indicators like the range and duration for high and low voltage ride-through exceed national standards. This ensures the equipment stays online during sudden drops or surges in grid voltage, preventing accidents from escalating.
2. Time-Based Automatic Control Switching The system can set different operating modes based on specific times, automatically switching to better adapt to various on-site requirements.
3. Rich Variety of Models FGI offers a wide range of models, including indoor, outdoor, air-cooled, and water-cooled units. Voltage levels cover 6kV, 10kV, 20kV, and 35kV, meeting diverse project demands.
4. Multi-Unit Coordinated Control Mode This enables unified and coordinated control when multiple devices operate on a shared busbar.

FGI specializes in the research, development, and manufacturing of power electronic products. We offer five main product categories: "electricity conservation, power quality, explosion-proof power, renewable power, and energy storage." FGI is committed to contributing its strength to the construction of a new power system.
