SMA - Model M - Fuel Save Controller (FSC) Brochure

The SMA Fuel Save Controller (FSC) is a key component of the SMA solution for photovoltaic/ diesel hybrid systems. It allows the use of cost-efficient solar energy to generate power in order to lower fuel consumption from diesel generators. As the interface connecting the diesel generator, the PV system and the load, it manages need-based PV feed-in according to load and generation profiles of the system as a whole. The FSC performs comprehensive grid management functions, ensures maximum operational safety, and minimizes operating expenditure and CO₂ emissions. The second generation of the FSC is available for system sizes of 100 kW to 50 MW. Hybrid systems with SMA technologies offer modular expansion at any time and optimum system control through remote monitoring. The SMA Fuel Save Controller is available in the following versions: M, L and customized ons of the modern SMA Speedwire data communication.
