ABB Enhances Renewable Energy Solutions with Advanced Proteus Portfolio
Amidst the global shift towards renewable energy, ABB has unveiled its Proteus portfolio, designed to meet the rising demand for efficient power conversion and grid integration. With renewable electricity generation projected to rise by 60% in the next four years, as reported by the International Energy Agency, ABB’s latest offering is set to play a crucial role in this expansion.
The new Proteus solar inverter is scheduled to be showcased at Intersolar 2026 in Munich, Germany, from June 22 to 25, at stand B3.250. Daniel Gerber, Business Line Manager, Renewable Power at ABB, emphasized the importance of reliable power conversion solutions in the global energy transition, highlighting that, “With over 120 GW of power conversion capacity installed to date, ABB combines its enhanced portfolio of PV, BESS and control systems technologies, global presence, engineering, manufacturing, and service capabilities, delivers high performance and consistent project execution worldwide.”
Photovoltaic (PV) systems are recognized as a leading scalable and cost-efficient source of clean energy. This has been a driving factor for the surge in utility-scale solar projects, particularly in countries like China, India, and the United States. The demand for ABB’s high-efficiency power conversion and grid integration solutions is evident in these markets.
The Proteus portfolio features inverters, stations, and control systems offering efficiency rates up to 99.45%, which is crucial for maximizing energy output. With advancements in hybrid liquid and air cooling technology, the Proteus systems promise long-term operational reliability while reducing installation complexities and costs. The new inverter design optimizes airflow and enhances build quality, ensuring durability across various operational environments.
As renewable energy sources introduce variability to the grid, there is a growing demand for Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). ABB’s Proteus BESS solutions are equipped with bi-directional converter stations and advanced control systems. These systems support grid-forming and black-start operations and boast a battery-agnostic design, making them ideal for large-scale utility projects.
With a presence in over 70 countries and over 120 GW of installed power conversion capacity, ABB supports utilities, EPCs, and developers on a global scale. Their Proteus portfolio, designed for a 30-year service life, is backed by comprehensive lifecycle services, ensuring reliability and superior operational availability.
