Spanish company Gamesa Electric has been awarded a major solar project in Honduras which involves the supply of solar power stations and control for a 53,31MWp project.
Gamesa Electric, which recently entered the Indian market, will deliver the solar power stations to Honduras in early 2016 and the project will be commissioned in early the second quarter of 2016.
With this project, Gamesa Electric has reinforced its presence in South America.
"This project is signed two and a half months after our former 50MWdc plant in the Philippines and adds to the 32MWp in Panama, 23,5MWp in UK and 10MWp in India recently announced by the company, which joins to a total accumulated order backlog of more than 275MWp in the last one and a half year," the company said in a statement.
For the Honduras project, Gamesa Electric Power Plant Controller will ensure the fulfillment of the Honduras Grid Code requirements of the complete PV plant, including P-Q commands, Voltage and power factor regulation and Low Voltage Ride Through (LVRT).
The PPC will receive commands from the Honduras National Grid Operator, and through a real-time controller, will send communication signals to the Gamesa PV inverters to fulfill the received command in the Point of Common Coupling (PCC), the company said.
Last month, Gamesa India announced new orders in the wind power industry. Gamesa has won an order for 50 MW from Atria Power, a renewable energy producer.
The order is for Gamesa's two 25MW machines, which were recently introduced in India.
The Atria Power project is to come up at Kayathar in Tamil Nadu. Gamesa, whose Indian operation is headquartered in Chennai, will also build the wind farm for Atria.
