Photovoltaic power station

A PV power station comprising at least one AC power production unit, each of one or more of the at least one AC power production unit comprising:

• a DC power generator composed of x MW solar strings, where x is a positive number;
• one or more first DC/AC 3-phase converters with a total declared power rating of y MW,
• the first DC/AC 3-phase converter(s) configured to receive DC power provided by the DC power generator, convert the received DC power into AC power, provide that converted AC power through a transformer to a power grid;
• an energy reservoir that is configured to receive at an input of the energy reservoir at least some of a remaining portion of the DC power generated by the DC power generator;
• one or more second DC/AC 3-phase converters having a total declared power rating of z MW, where z is a positive number, the second DC/AC 3-phase converter(s) configured to receive DC power from the energy reservoir at an input of the one or more second DC/AC 3-phase converters, convert the received DC power from the energy reservoir into AC power, and provide that converted AC power through the transformer to the power grid;
• and
• a switching mechanism configured to turn on and off the input of the energy reservoir and the input of the one or more second DC/AC 3-phase converters, such that the input of the energy reservoir and the input of the one or more second DC/AC 3-phase converters are not simultaneously on,
• wherein the sum of y and z being greater than x.
