Categories of Uni-Cable Models for New Energy Projects
Uni-Cable provides a variety of specialized cables tailored for renewable energy applications, each designed to address the specific demands of solar, wind, hydro, and energy storage projects. Below are the primary categories:
Photovoltaic (PV) Cables for Solar Energy Projects
PV1-F 4 mm², 6 mm², and 10 mm²; PV Cable 1500 V DC 4 mm², 6 mm².
Applications: These cables are optimized for solar panel arrays, connecting panels to inverters and control units.
Key Features: UV resistance, ozone resistance, halogen-free, flame-retardant properties, and high thermal stability to ensure efficient energy transfer and longevity in outdoor environments.
Medium-Voltage (MV) Cables for Wind Farms and Solar Power Stations
XLPE-insulated medium-voltage cables rated from 10 kV to 35 kV.
Applications: Used to connect wind turbines and solar farms to substations, these cables handle the high voltages generated by large renewable energy systems.
Key Features: High mechanical strength, resistance to environmental factors like moisture and temperature fluctuations, and excellent electrical properties to ensure minimal energy loss.
Flexible Rubber Cables for Energy Storage Systems (ESS) and Grid Connectivity
H07RN-F, 1 kV rubber cables.
Applications: Ideal for connecting battery storage systems to the grid or renewable generation sites, these cables handle high current loads with flexibility for ease of installation.
Key Features: Abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and flexibility for mobile or modular energy storage solutions.
OPGW (Optical Ground Wire) Cables for Hybrid Renewable Projects
OPGW 24-core, 48-core.
Applications: Used for monitoring and controlling hybrid projects, such as solar-wind farms, OPGW cables integrate both fiber optics and grounding functions to provide data connectivity and stability.
Key Features: Superior corrosion resistance, high tensile strength, and dual functionality for reliable data transmission and grounding.
Enhancing Efficiency in a Solar Power Plant in the Middle East
Customer Challenge: A solar farm in the Middle East experienced issues with overheating and energy losses due to the intense desert heat. The site required durable cables with high resistance to extreme temperatures and UV radiation to avoid frequent replacements and ensure long-term performance.
Uni-Cable Solution: Uni-Cable’s PV1-F solar cables (6 mm², 1500 V DC) were selected for the solar panels and inverters due to their high UV resistance and exceptional heat tolerance. The cables’ flame-retardant properties and halogen-free insulation also provided an extra layer of safety, minimizing the risk of fire.
Advantages of Uni-Cable:
Factory-Direct Sales: The customer accessed competitive pricing directly from Uni-Cable’s factory, reducing project costs significantly.
Favorable Pricing: With Uni-Cable’s competitive pricing model, the project was able to stay within budget while deploying high-quality cables.
Fast Delivery: The cables were shipped promptly, ensuring that installation schedules were met.
Quality Assurance: Uni-Cable’s PV cables were tested to withstand extreme conditions, providing reliable performance in the harsh desert climate.
Benefits Achieved: By switching to Uni-Cable’s PV1-F cables, the solar farm reduced energy losses and cable failures, achieving optimal performance even in extreme temperatures. This resulted in significant cost savings on replacements and maintenance, improving overall profitability.
