Amid the wave of green transformation, the pharmaceutical industry is accelerating toward a new stage of energy upgrading. A Taiwan pharmaceutical company with international influence has actively responded to the call for energy saving and carbon reduction by installing a 704.12 kW photovoltaic system, providing a continuous supply of clean energy to support the company’s green manufacturing.
Multiple Challenges Under High-standard Scenarios
As the first pharmaceutical plant in Taiwan built in accordance with PIC/S GMP, EU GMP, and U.S. FDA 21CFR international standards, the facility operates under extremely precise management, with near-stringent requirements for safety and stability. Even minor anomalies could trigger a chain reaction. Therefore, ensuring the electrical safety and efficient operation of the photovoltaic system has become a critical issue that must be addressed.
The Complex Building Layout Makes Module Faults Hard to Detect
The plant layout is highly intricate, with the photovoltaic system spanning multiple rooftops, warehouses, carports, and auxiliary buildings, and even deployed across different floors. Under traditional maintenance methods, if a module malfunctions, manual inspections are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but the inability to quickly locate the fault may result in prolonged unresolved issues.
Critical Environments Allow No Margin for Error
Core areas of the pharmaceutical plant include cleanrooms and temperature-controlled storage zones, with some sections meeting GMP Class B standards. Any electrical anomaly or overheating could contaminate entire batches of medicine, lead to product loss, or even halt production, placing extremely high demands on the safety and reliability of the photovoltaic system.
The AMCL Smart Rapid Shutdown Device supports three shutdown modes: automatic high-temperature shutdown, remote shutdown, and manual on-site shutdown, allowing flexible operation according to actual scenarios. In emergencies such as high temperatures or fires, the system voltage can be reduced to below 80V within 30 seconds, effectively preventing electric shock and ensuring the safety of personnel and equipment. Additionally, it supports both single-module shutdown and full-plant shutdown, enabling versatile applications and enhancing the plant’s precise management.
