Gerlitz (System Integrator Solar power plant)
Bindlach,
Germany
The existing solar power plant, equipped with automation components from another supplier which caused numerous failures etc., required modernization and ultimately needed to be made more profitable. Primary objective: A reliable system without failures, while at the same time offering a higher "solar profit".
Modular and expandable Simatic S7-1200 basic controllers and the "Solar Tracking Toolbox" – a collection of tailor-made software blocks for the efficient implementation of tracking solar power plants. 
Used Products:
  • S7-1200
  • CPU 1212C
  • Comfort Panels Standard
  • SINAMICS V20 basic converters
”The replacement of all controllers and sensors has resulted in the associated, absolutely essential reliability and robustness even under difficult operating conditions. With the special functions of the Siemens controllers such as Back-Tracking and Optimized Tracking Control, we can achieve more than ever even under unfavorable conditions. The yield stands and falls with the technology.” 
Mr. Krokauer
  • Fast integration of the Siemens "Solar Tracking Toolbox" by means of ready-made components and free tools
  • Control system can be used all year round – at ambient operating temperatures from -20° to +60°
  • Optimum insolation onto the solar modules due to automatic and precise orientation of the trackers toward the sun -up to 30% higher profit compared to fixed installations.  
 
The Bindlacher Berg solar power plant consists of three networked arrays with a total of three "trackers" that follow the sun. The plant is operated by an investment association which, together with the system integrator Gerlitz elektro-GmbH and Siemens, is modernizing this solar park and has been able to increase the yield (insolation) significantly.
