The Answer Drives GS derives from our experience in inverter manufacture for heavy industry.
The Answer Drives GS base module is, actually, our Answer Drives 3000 inverter, which
has been used in numerous installations all over the world owing to its reliability and efficiency.
Our experience in applications requiring AFE (Active Front End) solutions has enabled us to
develop a product particularly suited for the power production industry that works with onsite distribution of electricity into the grid and commercial PV systems.
We believe that only the best can be expected from an industry leader: our best is supplying
a solution that guarantees the highest level of flexibility in response to the specific demands
of your system whilst ensuring the longevity of our inverters.
This is achieved using a high level of standardization: Nidec ASI offers its customers 2 versions of inverters (depending on point of delivery), each available in 4 classes depending on
the voltage range of the PV system.
In addition, our inverters have been designed with a careful choice of components to ensure the highest levels of performance during the life cycle of your system.

ANSWER DRIVES GS
STATION
The Answer Drives GS station by Nidec ASI is an integrated PV power plant for the
supply of medium voltage power to the distribution grid produced by large PV systems or
solar parks.
This is an economic turnkey solution, including wired equipment and cooling system
(available in two versions: either air or water-cooled).
The station is factory tested before delivery and is ready to hook up on site to the PV system
and then to the distribution grid.
The flexibility of the Answer Drives GS station enables the best configuration for every
type of system.
Availability: single station, multiple stations with star configuration and multiple stations
with ring configuration.

The enclosure with a painted and insulated carbon steel structure and raised false flooring ensures
long-lasting durability (over 25 years).
The insulation of the walls and the roof provides high thermal
insulation from the environment.

Safety doors:
each enclosure is equipped with doors with locks,
for the safekeeping of the various components.
The doors have tamper-proof hinges,
that open outwards and anti-panic handles.
The LV equipment room includes the Answer Drives GS converter system with MIRO function for
conversion system optimization even with low insolation levels.
There are also service cabinets, air conditioners, the UTF [fiscal counter] meters that measure the
electricity produced and the supervision system that monitors all system data from a remote location.

> Pure Free Cooling: with low external air temperature the conditioner acts like a normal
ventilation system with external air exchange. The compressor is turned off.
> Assisted Free Cooling: with relatively low external air temperature the free cooling
operates yet if it is not low enough to keep the internal temperature at the required value,
the compressor comes on as required by the temperature.
> Cooling: the compressor is running. The system acts like a regular air conditioner.
The Free Cooling, function, by modulating the use of the compressor, ensures reduced
power consumption for enclosure cooling. Full power application occurs only when outside
temperatures are very high.
To ensure the continuos operation, the overall cooling power for the enclosure is oversized:
the system operates even if one of the air conditioners is out of service.
The free coolers, compared to regular ventilator fans, eliminate dust and reduce the level of
humidity in the air, being potential causes of electronic equipment malfunction.
Nidec ASI has also certified Answer Drive GS for use with water-cooling.
This cooling method improves dissipation.
The water-cooled enclosure, compared to the air-cooled version, is smaller and easier to
maintain (there are no filters to change and no liquids to top up).
An integrated water/water cooling control unit is available upon request for combined heat
and power systems.

MIRO FUNCTION
The MIRO function significantly increases the efficiency of the system, in particular under
conditions of partial insolation of the array and/or under poor weather conditions.
In fact, the MIRO enables the conversion units to be activated/deactivated according to
the power to be supplied with the objective of maintaining active only the units necessary
for conversion of the electricity coming from the PV array.
Thanks to the modularity of our approach, the conversion efficiency may be optimized by
activating just the minimum number of units required for the supply of the power coming
from the PV strings in large systems.
In this manner, the active conversion units will work within their most efficient operational
range.
The graph illustrates the increased efficiency obtainable with the MIRO function.
The MIRO function with a Master-Slave rotation system balances the operation time of
all units over the long term, reducing wear and downtimes and prolonging the inverter's
life cycle.

ARTICS Smart Energy is the control platform by Nidec ASI for the intelligent management of
low/medium voltage micro-networks capable of integrating traditional residential and industrial
loads with the production of renewable energy managing variability without compromising the
quality of service.
The mode of operation known as grid-connected (the micro-network is connected to the
distribution grid at a single connection point) and island (the micro-network is disconnected
from the main grid) not only require their own independent monitoring and control system,
but also a power supply system created with smart devices, above all the inverters that input
the power to the grid.
To be used within a micro-network, the inverters shall satisfy the following prerequisites, they
must:
> not produce EM interference that interfere with the network, especially when there are many
inverters connected
> contribute to the frequency and voltage stability of the network, managing the active and
reactive power produced depending on the load requirements
> maintain service even in the presence of strong network disturbances
> be equipped with a communications system suitable both for the transfer of the data
required for network control to a higher-level control system in order to receive the proper
commands

ENERGY METER
The weather station is ideal for users who give great importance to the total analysis of performance even on the PV power generation side.
The meter is to be checked and certified with a cumulative certification +CT and VT
including tax duty. Supplied standard are: UTF, CT e VT proof terminal block for BT Cl 0.5
(with UTF certificate), GSM MODEM power supply, stylus antenna, terminal board and
wiring for connection to meter.
Weather conditions influence PV electricity production to a great degree, yet this does not
mean that efficiency cannot be optimized.
The meter, besides in situ reading, can acquire the impulses from one or more meters.
The Nidec ASI weather station uses a multi-function sensor, which, besides module insolation
and temperature data, also manages an ambient temperature sensor and an anemometer for
the purpose of making even more precise calculations on the operation of the PV system.
In systems with LV/MV transformers with two secondaries, two meters are required, one of
which will be the master acquiring the reading of the second so as to provide a single
electricity reading.
The data gathered by the station enable the calculation of the nominal power provided by the
current insolation and by the module temperatures and the comparison of this with the actual
power measured by the inverters. Significant downward shifts signal faulty system operation.
In this manner shaded areas, dirty panels and hard to find power reductions due, for
example, to the degradation of one of
the panels can be identified.
