Kidang Village in Lombok, Indonesia welcomes Clean Green and Quiet Renewable

OPS began work in 2008 for the design supply and installation of renewable technology including a PV array, battery and inverter system in Lombok, Indonesia. The system was commissioned by Lombok’s local government with the initiative to supply Renewable Energy to the inhabitants living in the remote Kidang Village. The supply of Solar PV power services a village population of roughly 1000 people living in a spread out arrangement. The system has no diesel or grid, enabling 100% clean green and quiet energy to service the inhabitants.

OPS has just completed the project as of March 2009. Please click on the images below for better resolution.

Upcoming Bahamas Island Renewable Power System

Optimal Power Solutions has been chosen as key supplier of a new renewable energy technology system in Exuma, Bahamas. The site is a privately owned resort island of roughly 74 acres, in the picturesque Pipe Creek area of the Bahamas.

OPS are providing a highly advanced power station control and optimized energy delivery system. The system’s technical components include two OPS proprietary technology 300k Hybrid Power Conditioner Inverters with two dual channel 120kW MPPT chargers (Maximum Power Point Tracking).

One of the main benefits of the MPPT charge controllers is that they maximize the power from the PV array regardless of the battery or DC link voltage. MMPT systems are less commonly specified in such large systems, however investment in these systems is very sensible given the avoided investment in additional solar.

The system also includes a total of 240kWp of Photovoltaic Arrays, a whopping 360v battery bank rated with over 4MWh storage, three 312kVA gensets and eight 15kW wind turbines. This system has a total capacity of about 1.5 MW. The total system will be used to supply a community with a resort and several houses.
