AMSC’s Dynamic Volt-Amp Reactive (D-VAR) Systems are a dynamic and cost-effective solution for optimizing grid performance and stability where you need it most.
Overview
AMSC’s D-VAR® systems are a proven solution for optimal grid performance and monitoring where and when you need it most. From generation to transmission and distribution of electricity, customers of any size can be rest assured that these systems are the answers to a wide range of interconnection challenges. AMSC’s D-VAR® systems offer high-speed voltage disturbance detection using advanced monitoring technology. These cost-saving systems also increase the power transfer capacity of utility networks, even in space-constrained environments. Importantly, AMSC’s D-VAR® systems meet stringent utility interconnection requirements of wind and solar power plants. Our systems can do all of this, even in space constrained environments. They feature modular, scalability, and compact designs for any customer looking for a proven solution to safeguard and maximize the efficiency of their operations.
AMSC’s D-VAR systems are the trusted choice for your interconnection & reactive power needs. Customers praise their revolutionary impact on transmission and distribution networks, industrial operations, and renewable energy plants, and more. AMSC tailors each D-VAR system to their specific needs, providing solutions that stand up to ever-changing grid conditions.
Boosting reliability across the grid, AMSC’s D-VAR systems bring voltage stability and power factor correction to transmission and distribution network customers. These are crucial for maintaining steady power delivery. With our industry-leading smart technology, D-VAR systems dynamically adjust reactive power at key points on the grid. This prevents costly grid disturbances and outages, for a better power network.
AMSC’s D-VAR systems give industrial operations better power quality. These systems fix voltage fluctuations and power factor. Both are known to disrupt sensitive equipment and processes, and sometimes even cause equipment failure. Using D-VAR systems improves operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and protects equipment for more reliable operation.
AMSC’s D-VAR systems help renewable energy plants, such as wind and solar generation, meet utility interconnection requirements. With proven voltage regulation and power factor correct, D-VAR systems enhance the grid and meet stringent regulatory requirements.
