Grid resilience

The increasing system complexity demands investments in power grid infrastructure that stabilizes the grid and ensures uninterrupted energy supply, even under adverse conditions. With our resilient grid technologies, such as our flexible AC transmission systems, storage solutions, as well as our service and digital offerings, we ensure efficient power grid operations through reliability, availability and stability. Step by step, we're achieving grid resilience.

E-STATCOM

SVC PLUS FS® is the frequency stabilizer extension of our SVC PLUS® STATCOM, offering energy storage by supercapacitors. In addition to reactive power compensation, it enables active power to be injected or stored to balance the frequency in the grid.

HVDC

High-voltage direct current (HVDC) is ideal for bridging the distances between large-scale renewable power generating installations such as offshore wind farms and the load centers they serve. In a multi-terminal configuration, the collecting of renewable power can be combined with pan-continental integration of power transmission systems, such as for interconnecting multiple regional or national AC grids.

Service

We support our customers around the world in successfully overcoming the challenge of meeting the growing need for sustainable, reliable, and affordable energy.
We keep society energized.

STATCOM

The global rise in renewable energy production challenges electricity grids with its intermittent nature, causing voltage and frequency shifts, especially over long distances from generation to consumption. Our SVC PLUS® technology regulates reactive power to stabilize voltage fluctuations, and offers additional features like Active Filtering of harmonics and Grid Forming functionality.

Battery Energy Storage Systems

Battery Energy Storage Systems are rechargeable batteries that can store energy from different sources and discharge it when needed. They can be used to balance the electric grid, provide backup power, and improve grid stability.

Synchronous condenser

Parallel connected synchronous condensers, provide short-circuit power and inertia and stabilize the network through voltage recovery during faults. Increasing renewable power feed-in, can cause lack of short-circuit power and inertia.
When fossil-fuel power plants are in standby shutdown, synchronous condenser solutions use a conventional generator to provide the necessary inertia and short-circuit contribution by means of its rotating mass while also providing or absorbing reactive power.
