Solar energy evolution
By the order of the Ukrainian developer of projects in the field of solar energy, during the 1st half of 2019 Avenston provided consulting support to the investment project for the construction of a ground-based solar power station and completed certain sections of the design documentation. The total capacity of the solar power plants located in three separate sites is 67.507 MWp.
Our services include financial and technical consulting, modeling of technological options for the implementation of the project, preparation of detailed schedules for design and construction and installation works, and other services.
When developing separate sections of the project documentation, the following equipment was used: polycrystalline solar modules with a power of 340 W, string inverters Huawei SUN2000-60KTL with a power of 60 kW and transformer stations 0.4/10 kV (2500 kVA).
In the second half of 2019, the implementation of this project was launched with the involvement of foreign investors.
Our services:
- Technical inspection of the land;
- Development of a financial model of a PV station;
- Financial consulting and participation in negotiations with foreign partners;
- PVsyst modeling was performed for various object configurations;
- Analysis and selection of basic technological solutions;
- A detailed feasibility study of the PV power plant was prepared;
- A detailed project schedule has been developed;
- Designed a single-line scheme of the PV farm;
- General plans for three solar power plants have been developed;
- Outline design for three solar plants was completed.

- Type of mounting structures: fixed, ground
- Location: Kyiv region
Reactive Power Control in Utility-Scale PV Plants
To facilitate higher levels of distributed PV penetration and meet transmission interconnection requirements, inverter-based generators need to participate in utility-voltage regulation by absorbing or injecting reactive power.
«Low energy transition»
There is the only one expert opinion at present - we are in for the global electrification of the transition to renewable energy sources and the associated transformation of infrastructure in all areas. Further development of solar power generation will be the most powerful driver of these processes. What are the obvious and hidden factors that will prompt to such changes?
Opportunities to invest in Ukraine
Ukraine is taking important strides to increase the use of renewable-energy sources and alternative fuels as part of its broader strategy to reduce its reliance on traditional fossil fuels.
What does solar energy expect in 2019?
According to the analysis of previous reports on the results of 2018, solar energy has demonstrated itself in the best way among all types of RES, lending its development potential to the current year.
