Nobel Energy to boost stability of solar power plants in Azerbaijan

Nobel Energy plans to introduce advanced solutions for reactive compensation, synchronisation, and rapid response at its solar power plants in Azerbaijan.

Can Aslan, Director of Renewable Energy Projects at Nobel Energy, announced the plans during the "Green Energy Week 2025: Azerbaijan and Central Asia" event in Baku.

“As we move to new projects, all elements — inverters, cables, trackers, panels — must be fully coordinated. There are not only financial hurdles but also adaptation challenges when adopting next-generation technology,” Aslan said.

He noted that while the company currently operates effective systems, integrating them into new projects requires careful adaptation to the latest industry trends.

Aslan emphasised that renewable energy technologies are evolving toward greater efficiency and lower costs, but these advances bring new challenges, including increased load on power grids due to the growing share of renewable energy sources.

“Energy storage systems are now a key focus. In Europe, grid operators mandate the use of storage facilities to compensate for imbalances. Azerbaijan has adopted a similar approach. Whereas such requirements were absent before, they are now incorporated into new projects,” he added.

Aslan also highlighted that Azərenerji OJSC has already implemented a large-scale energy storage project, contributing to grid stability.

“It’s not just about stabilising the grid. Reactive compensation, synchronisation, and rapid response are equally critical, and we plan to implement these solutions in the near future,” he said.
