Uriel Renewables and Coqui Power are the co-developers of the solar power plant situated in Loiza town.
The plant enables both active and reactive power regulation and is scheduled to be connected to the national grid in December 2012.
Designed to withstand 260kmph winds, the PV project is in compliance with the stipulations of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA)
TSK Solar general manager Roberto Montes remarked that the project has an extra degree of complexity due to the specific weather conditions in the Caribbean region.
"The solar plant was also designed to operate in a challenging electrical environment, with 40% overcurrent, voltage control issues and the need for a back-up energy storage system.
"Thanks to the robustness of our PV components, the new installation will help further stabilize Puerto Rico’s electrical grid," added Montes.
