Abstract: A photovoltaic power plant system for power generation, comprising one or more photovoltaic clusters and one or more modular multilevel converters. Each photovoltaic cluster includes a number of photovoltaic strings connected to one or more MPPT DC/DC, converters connected to a common LVDC, bus. Each photovoltaic cluster includes a DC/DC converter including an input connected to the LVDC bus, and an output connected to a MVDC collection grid. Each of the one or more modular multilevel converters includes an input connected to the one or more photovoltaic clusters via the MVDC collection grid and an output connected to a transmission grid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrical device comprising a gas-insulated transformer or reactor. The electrical device comprises a housing enclosing an interior space, at least a portion of which defining an insulation space containing a dielectric insulation fluid comprising an organofluorine compound, and an electrical component being arranged in the insulation space and being surrounded by the insulation fluid. The electrical component comprises at least one winding. The electrical device further comprises an electrical connector for bringing the apparatus from non-operational state to operational state by connecting at least one winding to a power grid. The device further comprises an auxiliary power source which is connectable to at least one winding when the apparatus is in the non-operational state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to gas-insulated electrical apparatuses, in particular gas-insulated transformers or reactors, comprising a housing enclosing an interior space, in which an electrical component comprising a winding is arranged, at least a portion of the interior space defining an insulation space which is filled with an insulation fluid electrically insulating at least a part of the electrical component from the housing. According to the invention, the electrical apparatus further comprises a cooling element comprising a condenser, an evaporator and a cooling fluid to be circulated between the condenser and the evaporator. The evaporator is designed such that at least a part of the electric component is immersed in the cooling fluid in its liquid state, thus being in direct contact with the cooling fluid.
