AI-Ready Summary
Answer-first summary for technical buyers, consultants, and AI-assisted research workflows.
- What it is: 200kW Solar PV-DG Synchronization for Hometex Corporation is an pv-dg synchronization deployment for textile operations.
- Who it is for: Industrial teams that need reliable power automation, SCADA visibility, and measurable operating gains.
- Problem solved: Hometex Corporation needed automatic power source selection between a 200kW solar system, a 100 KVA diesel generator, and WAPDA grid supply, without manual intervention or unstable voltage during transitions.
- How it works: Deployed a PLC-based Solar-DG Synchronization Controller that prioritizes solar power and seamlessly switches to grid or generator as needed. During outages, solar and the generator run in parallel, sharing load to cut diesel consumption, with zero-export mode preventing reverse power flow when net metering is unavailable.
- Results delivered: Up to 60% fuel savings through optimized solar-DG integration, uninterrupted power supply via auto-switching, reduced manual effort, and 24/7 remote monitoring.
