All-in-one Microgrid Solution
20 – 60 kW
ABB MicroGrid Inverter is an all-in-one solution that
maximizes use of solar PV power, in combination with
energy storage, to supply reliable power for village
electrification and small commercial/ industrial sites.
The compact, factory tested, single cabinet design
minimizes installation and commissioning times. ABB
MicroGrid Inverter is a modular and scalable solution
capable of supporting increasing future load
requirements.
Robust Converter Design
ABB MicroGrid Inverter draws upon ABB’s extensive
UPS and solar inverter expertise. Particular attention
has been paid to the physical robustness. ABB
MicroGrid Inverter’s IP31-rated protection copes with
dust, water condensation, excessive humidity (up to
95 percent), corrosive air contamination and rough
manhandling. To ensure reliable operation in harsh
environments, Product-Name is designed to operate
over a wide ambient temperature range from −5 to
+50°C. Simple and fast serviceability is provided by
the swappable, modular converter architecture to
ensure minimal downtime.

All information and specifications are subject to change.
ABB MicroGrid Inverter incorporates safety features
for users and maintenance staff by mounting all the
electrical components behind enclosures inside one
cabinet.
Operating Modes
ABB MicroGrid Inverter ensures no load disruption by
seamlessly transitioning between on-grid and off-grid
operation. Solar PV power is prioritized to supply the
load with a high efficiency. The connected batteries
are charged with the excess solar power, and from
the grid when needed, to guarantee the continuous
supply of power after dusk. Any excess PV power can
be returned to the grid to generate additional revenue
when the batteries are fully charged.
Remote Monitoring
It is essential that operational staff can remotely
monitor the system performance and quickly react to
any status changes of the ABB MicroGrid Inverter. An
Ethernet interface is provided as standard to enable
customers to connect remotely. A local operator’s
touch panel is available optionally.
