Project Overview

This complete solar power solution for a public service center in Togo combines a 100kW ground-mounted PV design, a 100kW hybrid inverter / PCS and approximately 215kWh of lithium battery storage. The configuration supports daytime solar use and backup planning for selected administrative systems, communications, lighting and security.

Project Background

A dedicated installation area allows solar generation to be located close to the facility’s electrical demand. Array spacing, fencing and access routes need to fit around building activity while leaving room for inspections and maintenance.

The electrical plan separates essential circuits from loads that can be paused during an interruption. Service desks, network systems and selected lighting can receive priority without placing the full facility demand on the backup circuit.

Project Challenges

Site planning must address shading, drainage, vegetation growth and safe access between array rows. PV string design, cable routes and electrical protection also need to match the selected equipment and connection arrangement.

The energy plan must balance daytime consumption, battery charging and essential-load reserve. Battery equipment requires a protected location, adequate maintenance space and appropriate thermal management.

WHC Power Solution

WHC Power’s configuration brings ground-mounted PV, high-voltage lithium battery storage, hybrid inverter / PCS control and electrical protection into one coordinated system. Available solar power can supply facility loads and charge the battery when surplus generation is available.

BMS communication and EMS settings coordinate battery protection, reserve levels and discharge priorities. A dedicated essential-load distribution arrangement limits backup demand to the equipment included in the facility’s load assessment.

System Integration and EPC Support

WHC Power supports EPC partners with equipment selection, PV string configuration, battery and inverter compatibility and protection coordination. Installation planning covers mounting foundations, earthing, isolation, surge protection, cable protection and maintenance access.

Commissioning should verify communications, operating priorities, protection settings and backup operation. Backup duration depends on actual demand, usable battery energy and reserve settings. Sensitive equipment requiring uninterrupted supply should retain a suitable UPS where needed. Any generator connection requires its own electrical and control compatibility assessment.

System Configuration

Solar PV Design Capacity: 100kW ground-mounted PV

Hybrid Inverter / PCS Rating: 100kW

Battery Configuration: Approximately 215kWh high-voltage lithium battery storage

Control: BMS communication and EMS energy management

Application: Selected administrative equipment, communications, lighting and security

Operating Arrangement: Solar self-consumption with essential-load backup

Project Benefits

The design aims to increase daytime solar use and provide stored energy for selected public services. At sites with backup generation, coordinated storage operation can reduce unnecessary generator runtime and fuel cost exposure.

Complete system planning helps the project team address compatibility, installation and maintenance requirements before implementation. Defined backup priorities also help the operator manage available energy during supply interruptions.
