ABB has introduced its new Proteus portfolio of solar photovoltaic (PV) and battery energy storage system (BESS) solutions, designed to help utilities, renewable energy developers, and power producers address the growing demand for reliable power conversion and grid integration technologies. The launch comes at a time when renewable energy installations are expanding rapidly across global markets. As countries accelerate clean energy deployment and strengthen grid infrastructure, the need for efficient power conversion systems and advanced storage technologies continues to rise. ABB’s Proteus platform has been developed to help customers maximize energy generation, improve operational performance, and support grid stability.
The portfolio includes advanced solar inverters, converter stations, and integrated control systems engineered for utility-scale projects. The systems are designed to deliver high conversion efficiency while maintaining power quality and operational reliability across a wide range of environmental conditions. ABB has focused on reducing installation complexity through compact designs that simplify transportation, assembly, and commissioning activities.
The new Proteus inverter incorporates improved airflow management and enhanced engineering features that support dependable long-term performance. The system has been developed to meet the requirements of large renewable energy projects where operational uptime and efficiency are critical to project economics.
In parallel, ABB has expanded its energy storage offering through bi-directional converter stations and intelligent control platforms that support utility-scale battery installations. These solutions help balance power supply and demand while supporting frequency regulation, grid stabilization, and energy management applications. Features such as grid-forming capability and black-start functionality enable operators to strengthen network resilience and maintain continuity during disruptions.
ABB’s experience in power conversion technologies spans decades, with more than 120 GW of installed capacity worldwide. The company serves customers across more than 70 countries, supporting renewable energy projects with engineering expertise, manufacturing capabilities, and lifecycle services.
