Regulation of

stationary under- and over-voltages,

voltages sags and

voltage imbalances

Efficient integration of distributed generation along distribution
feeders

Limiting the voltage rise in the distribution grid enables the integration
of larger amounts of renewable generation

Installation next to an existing secondary substation, or supplied as
an integrated part of a new substation.

Avoids or reduces the need for grid expansion
A active regulation of the voltage increase the integration
capabilities of the distribution grid.

Making renewable energy real
Summary and outlook

Building power systems on renewable sources is a holistic challenge

It requires solutions ensuring best utilization of primary energy

And it requires a system layout integrating as much as possible of the
electrical energy available from renewable plants.

Many solutions are available meanwhile – more will follow.

But not only solutions are key, but also profound understanding
of the power system.
ABB is committed to make renewable energy real!
