Case Study: 60MW Solar PV Project in Ghana – Pioneering Smart Energy Management in Africa
I. Project Overview: Ghana 60MW PV Power Station
1. Project Background
Located in a key industrial park in Ghana, this project leverages the region's abundant solar resources to create a distributed PV power supply system. The project operates under a "Self-Consumption, Zero-Export" model.
The electrical architecture is clearly divided: the 160KV substation and upstream transmission are managed by the local utility, while the output side of the main transformer and the downstream distribution system are maintained by the client. The client manages power distribution and billing for sub-tenants within the park. To ensure compatibility with the existing infrastructure, the project utilizes a 10KV grid-connection, ensuring a precise match between solar generation and the park's load.
2. Core Requirements & Tailored Solutions
The primary objective of the owner was "Maximum Self-Consumption with Zero Grid Injection." It was critical to prevent any surplus power from flowing back into the 160KV main grid while maintaining economic stability. TARGET Solar delivered a customized, integrated solution: "Anti-Backflow Protection + Intelligent EMS."
Decentralized Layout with Centralized Management: The 60MW capacity is divided into 30 independent 2MW grid-connection points. This modular approach minimizes the impact of single-point failures, increases system redundancy, and allows for localized consumption, significantly reducing line losses.
Intelligent EMS (Energy Management System): Our proprietary EMS provides full life-cycle management across all 30 points. Key features include:
Real-time Monitoring: Precision data collection from PV arrays, inverters, and load profiles.
Anti-Backflow Strategy: Utilizing multi-energy collaborative control algorithms to preemptively manage reverse-current risks.
Optimal Dispatching: Dynamic power allocation based on load forecasting models to maximize efficiency.
Automated O&M: Smart fault diagnosis and standardized reporting to reduce operational costs.
3. Implementation Value
Energy Independence: The system is expected to meet over 55% of the park's electricity demand, reducing reliance on the national grid.
Economic Impact: Significant reduction in electricity bills and avoidance of grid-tie policy risks.
Carbon Neutrality: Generating 80 million kWh annually, the project will reduce CO2 emissions by over 50,000 tons over 25 years.
