Nobel Energy to introduce new solutions for solar power plant sustainability in Azerbaijan

Nobel Energy plans to implement modern solutions for reactive compensation, synchronization, and rapid response at its solar power plants (SPPs) in Azerbaijan, Nobel Energy's director of renewable energy projects, Can Aslan, said at the Azerbaijan & Central Asia Green Energy Week 2025, Report informs.

He stated that the company currently has effective systems, but their use in new projects requires comprehensive adaptation: "There is a clear trend in the industry that we are following. All elements must be coordinated-inverters, cables, trackers, panels. The transition to a new level of technology presents not only financial but also adaptation barriers."

Can Aslan emphasized that renewable energy technologies are evolving toward greater efficiency and lower costs. However, he believes that this simultaneously poses new challenges-specifically, the increased load on power grids due to the growing share of renewable energy sources.

"We're currently focusing on energy storage systems. This has become a mandatory requirement for projects in Europe: when connecting to the grid, the grid operator (TSO) requires the use of storage systems to compensate for imbalances. Azerbaijan has also adopted this approach. While such requirements weren't previously in place, they are now included in new projects," said a Nobel Energy representative.

Furthermore, AzerEnergy OJSC has implemented a large energy storage project, which is also helping, he said, adding, "After all, this isn't just about grid stability, but also about reactive compensation, synchronization, and rapid response. We intend to implement these solutions in the near future."
