Best Performance even in the Hottest Place

New fan system with vertical top-bottom air flow. Optimize the cooling capacity with advanced features to ensure temperature
regulation in the most demanding conditions:

• Filters to protect Inputs and Outputs from moisture
and dust.

• Regulated ventilation flow: Ensure maximum
power saving depending on inverter's instant loads.

• AC-Decoupled from grid voltage: Isolated from
external instabilities.

• Cooling System entrances are automatically closed
while the system is not working to avoid dust.

Ruggerized Outdoor Design for Harsh Environments

From design to component assembly, every phase is carried out with close attention to the real working conditions, especially
for extreme-hot and dust requirements, obtaining as result a rugged device conceived for a long-term operation life.

2-level Control System with Cutting-Edge Algorithms

WD3 control systems are based on the unique experience of GPTech in energy management systems, with more than 15 years of
development. WD3 Control is built on a 2-level Control architecture:

o Local-Module Control layer provides the finest management of
main parameters (Q, V, I...) for each power unit. DSP-Embedded
Algorithms have the faster response to real-time working
conditions.

o Central Control layer manages the complete power station,
consisting of power electronics devices, ancillary services,
medium voltage equipment (transformer and switch gears) and
ESS (batteries, ultracaps).

o Its gateway for external monitoring and control is adapted to
main communication protocols. it can be easily integrable
with external SCADA systems through a unique node.
