As technology continues to evolve, access to reliable energy sources is becoming more important, especially in remote areas. In Africa, many rural communities lack access to reliable power, making it difficult for them to utilize modern technology. However, innovative solutions such as off-grid optical storage projects are providing sustainable energy solutions for these communities. FGI, a leading technology company, has successfully implemented their FGI Static Var Generator(SVG) technology in an off-grid optical storage project in Africa, demonstrating the potential for this technology to bring accessible and reliable power to underserved areas.

1. Introduction to the off-grid optical storage project

The off-grid optical storage project in Africa aims to provide sustainable energy solutions to rural communities that lack access to the main power grid. This project utilizes solar power and advanced energy storage systems to provide a reliable and consistent source of energy to the community. The use of off-grid optical storage technology allows for energy to be captured and stored during sunny days and used during periods of low sunlight, ensuring a reliable supply of power.

2.Project situation

The off-grid photovoltaic project has the advantages of small investment, quick effect, simple government approval procedures, etc., which is very suitable for the current situation of weak main network in Africa and serious power shortage in most remote areas.

Chad energy storage photovoltaic power plant project is one of the key projects of clean energy cooperation between China and Chad under the "Belt and Road" initiative, the project is close to CNPC Chad Djermaya refinery, the project planned capacity of 300MW, of which the first phase of the construction capacity of 30MW. The project is equipped with 30MW PV, which will further ease the pressure on local electricity consumption and greatly improve the local living and business environment after completion.

3.FGI scheme

The on-site grid-connected voltage is 15kV, and the voltage level is relatively special. According to the user's situation, the company has customized development, changed the whole machine structure, modified the control program, and designed 15kV direct-hanging products to meet the on-site requirements and enrich the FGI product series. In view of the unstable situation of the local power system, the performance of SVG equipment is improved, the high and low voltage crossing performance of the product is enhanced, and the adaptability of the power grid is improved.

4.Product advantage

FGI Static Var Generator(SVG) series products have excellent performance and the following advantages over other compensation schemes:

The FGI Static Var Generator provides faster compensation with a reactive response time of less than 5ms, enabling accurate and fast compensation for load changes on site.

FGI Static Var Generator has a variety of compensation modes to compensate reactive power, voltage, power factor and other indicators.

The FGI Static Var Generator operating efficiency of the device can reach more than 99% and the loss is small.

The FGI Static Var Generator has the function of automatic switching of time-sharing control. It can automatically switch the operation mode according to the time, reduce the operation and maintenance cost and improve the compensation efficiency.
