Static Compensator, PureWave

Aartech Solonics Limited offers PureWave DSTATCOM Distributed Static Compensator. PureWave DSTATCOM is well suited to a major goal of the smart grid: integration of renewable energy sources, such as wind, concentrated solar and tidal power generation. It allows these renewable energy sources to meet utility interconnection requirements, as well as the power factor, voltage output, and low-voltage ride-through requirements of various worldwide grid codes. Features: ultra-fast response time: 3 to 6 milliseconds; provides faster voltage (or VAR, or power factor) control to enhance system voltage stability; substantial short-time capability for contingency events; each inverter section can provide up to 3.3 MVAR for 3 seconds; modular design provides redundancy; and each 1.25-MVAR inverter has its own independent controls and circuit breakers, maximising system reliability and availability. Individual inverters can be maintained while the remainder of the system is in operation. Inverters are air-cooled-not water-cooled-eliminating maintenance, enhancing reliability; and packaged in compact ISO-style container, which minimises need for valuable substation space. Up to four containers can be paralleled for a total system output of ±40 MVAR; includes climate-controlled control room with air-conditioning, if required. Weatherproof maintenance aisle enhances reliability and serviceability; flexible system sizing with control of external devices. Up to six externally switched capacitor or reactor banks can be controlled by PureWave DSTATCOM; and fully factory-tested for quick installation and commissioning.
