Power Conversion & Storage solution to help otimize power connections and stabilize catenary power
distribution.
Operators are increasing voltage from 3 kV to 25 kV to increase line capacity and reduce substation
counts.
A Static Frequency Converters (SFC) is an enabler of this transition,
particularly where the network grid capacity is limited.
Helping to connect to lower voltage connection to the grid, saving costs and deployment time.
To balance high renewable energy penetration in grid energy mix,
for greenfield projects (newly created lines), SFC substations can help ensure excellent
power quality from the grid, balance power between substations to avoid localized peaks,
facilitate power exchange between trains, and increase distance between substations,
reducing costs to connect to the transmission network.
SFC permits to decouple frequency and phase between
the catenary and the grid connections, enabling to
remove neutral sections along the catenary.
