SiC MOSFET Technology
A Hybrid Solution Engineered for Enhanced Stability
Stability Enhanced DC Coupled Hybrid Solution
Because Hybrid is no longer optional, it’s essential
The SMA Large Scale Stability Enhanced DC Coupled Hybrid Solution combines solar and storage with grid-forming capability. Designed for utility-scale projects, the solution combines grid-forming capability with functions that support energy yield and operational stability.
The solution combines DC-coupled architecture, grid-forming technology and coordinated plant-level controls.
The future-ready solution enables recovery of PV curtailment losses, time-shifted energy delivery, frequency regulation services, and advanced grid support functions, including the provision of synthetic inertia. High-power density, integrated digital controls, and turnkey deployment simplify project execution while assisting in reducing infrastructure complexity and operational costs.
Enhanced Stability with Grid-Forming
Designed to support stable operation in weak and dynamic grid environments with advanced grid-forming capability.
Grid-forming stability: Enables voltage and frequency formation for stable operation in dynamic grid conditions.
Inertia and fast frequency response: Provides synthetic inertia and fast frequency response, supporting disturbance ride‑through and system strength.
Stronger system strength contribution: Supports short‑circuit contribution and delivers improved performance during grid disturbances and fault conditions.
Proven and compliant: Backed by SMA grid‑forming project experience and compliant with most major grid codes.
