Central Inverters

[Shurouq]

I have a question regarding the use of the central inverter. I am designing a 2MW floating PV system and the system suggested string inverter, however, I would like to try the central inverter to compare between systems. Where can I find the central inverter option?

Hello,

In the database we unfortunately do not have a filter to sort out the central inverters from the string inverters. In PVsyst, the difference from a string inverter and a central inverter would be characterized by the fact that the central inverter do not have multiple MPPTs

So I am designing a 2MW FPV system and in the design I used about 7 strings inverters and no MPPT, does this mean they are central?

Among the Generic inverter in the database, you can find examples of central inverters. Here you see that there are no MPPTs.  


By opening the .OND file, you find this information in the Additional parameters tab.
