State: Port Moresby, Pacific Islands
Date: January 2025
The Problem:
Grid Alternate Energy and O’Brien Electrical were facing major challenges in Port Moresby due to the city’s unreliable electricity grid. Frequent voltage spikes and drops made it difficult for solar energy systems to function efficiently. While solar power is widely adopted in the region, high rainfall, cloud cover, and the inability of solar systems to operate at night created additional hurdles. The instability also prevented solar batteries and inverters from detecting a steady grid connection, leading to frequent disruptions.
Our Solution:
PSS Distributors supplied five AVR-30 voltage regulation controllers, designed specifically to tackle the region’s unique power fluctuations. These regulators:
- Eliminated voltage spikes and drops, stabilising the grid for solar systems.
- Enabled uninterrupted operation of solar batteries and inverters, ensuring they could function even when grid conditions were unstable.
- Seamlessly integrated solar power with battery storage, allowing businesses and residents to maintain a reliable power supply despite grid fluctuations.
The Result:
With the installation of the AVR-30 regulators, Grid Alternate Energy and O’Brien Electrical successfully stabilised their solar power systems. This solution has made renewable energy more viable in Port Moresby, allowing for consistent power supply across mixed commercial and residential developments. The client can now confidently deploy solar and battery storage solutions without concerns about grid instability.
Key Highlights:
- Customised AVR-30 voltage regulators designed for the Pacific Islands.
- Stabilised solar power supply in an unreliable grid environment.
- Integrated solar batteries and inverters, ensuring no power interruptions.
