Stabilize AC grids in milliseconds and get the most out of existing infrastructure: Increasingly decentralized energy systems and the associated uncontrolled power flows pose new challenges for the existing, mature grid infrastructure. Thermal overloads in the lines and a growing number of cases in which frequency and voltage come critically close to acceptable range limits, or even exceed them, threaten grid stability and the transmission infrastructure, and often require costly redispatch intervention to deal with current and voltage factors. Compared to traditional power flow controllers like phase shifting transformers, Siemens Energy advanced dynamic power flow control solutions can control power flow in just milliseconds. It is also able to stabilize the AC grid even when critical situations develop suddenly (grid code N-1) and let you get the most from your existing grid capacity while maintaining maximum protection, reducing the risk of power failures, and minimizing redispatch costs.
