Rheinfelden hydroelectric
power plant
Germany + Switzerland
The hydroelectric plant's reconstruction
led to an increase in capacity from
185 GWh to 600 GWh. Schneider Electric
delivered a completely ready-to-use system
to meet the plant's own energy needs
on both the German and Swiss sides.
ALMA
Southern Observatory,
Atacama Desert in Chile
Energy distribution for the world's largest observatory.
From the power plant to 3,000 meters
above sea level over 30 km of medium
voltage cables through the desert to the antenna
field on the 5,100-meter-high Chajnantor
plateau, three transformer stations with
62 WS medium voltage panels, 9 cast-resin
transformers, 4 low voltage main distribution
boards and 4 rotary converters ensure the
smooth operation of 66 radio antennas.

Senftenberg, Germany
With a 168 MW capacity, the Senftenberg
Solarpark is one of the world's largest
photovoltaic power plants. In the third
construction phase (78 MW of peak
capacity on 204 hectares), 62 PV boxes
with 109 Xantrex GT630E central inverters
are used to convert energy.

The PV box is an all-in-one solution that
contains all the components required
for connecting solar installations to the
medium-voltage grid, thereby reducing
the time needed for commissioning
solar farms. The plant is connected to the
110-kilovolt distribution network operated
by supplier Envia via a 63/80 megavolt
ampere medium power transformer as
well as six-span, air-insulated 20-kilovolt
switchgear from Schneider Electric.
