- Voltage
regulation system for the Kusenhorst substation
- Two-thirds
of the multilevel STATCOMs installed worldwide are from Siemens
In handing over the converter for a state-of-the-art grid
stabilization system for voltage regulation to the German transmission grid
operator Amprion, Siemens is celebrating delivery of its one-hundredth STATCOM
(static synchronous compensator) from the SVC PLUS series. The turnkey
installation will be deployed in the important Kusenhorst node in North Rhine
Westphalia, Germany. STATCOM systems stabilize fluctuations in the grid by
absorbing or feeding in voltage-supporting reactive power, depending on the
requirements. This approach significantly reduces the risk of voltage drops and
blackouts. Two-thirds of the globally installed STATCOM systems with modular
multilevel converter technology (MMC) are from Siemens, making the company the
world market leader in this segment.
