PQ-IVR®
AMSC’s Gridtec Solutions Power Quality Industrial Voltage Restorer (PQ-IVR) systems provide the ultimate solution for uninterrupted, safe, efficient, and cost-effective operations.
Overview
AMSC’s Power Quality Industrial Voltage Restorer (PQ-IVR) are dynamic systems that are our customer’s go-to for enhanced operation of their large industrial facilities. PQ-IVR systems protect from voltage disturbances like sags, swells, and harmonics distortions, even when voltage is low. By using the PQ-IVR system, our customers can operate without having to worry about these operational issues. Impressively, this saves our customers billions in revenue each year. PQ-IVR systems work better than series-connected devices. In these, the sag rebuild is not load dependent due to our key design features. With our PQ-IVR systems, you can easily add more to the load without issues.
AMSC’s PQ-IVR systems are shunt-connected voltage solutions that quickly detect power quality issues within milliseconds. When a voltage dip occurs, they inject precise amounts of reactive power to keep the plant running. PQ-IVR systems also utilize AMSC’s proprietary PowerModule™, the latest in latest power electronic converters. With this technology, PQ-IVR systems are more efficient, taking power injection to the next level. PowerModules™ are configurable to meet a wide range of requirements for your unique needs. Each system also features stacked four-quadrant IGBT inverters (blocks) that can manage the necessary output demand. Each PowerModuleTM block operates independently for more reliable operation.
AMSC’s PQ-IVR systems are the ultimate cost-effective power quality solution that drives industrial operations to new heights. In fact, there is no surprise that some of the most well-known auto parts manufacturers, semiconductor fabricators, chemical processers, and more trust us for our fully engineered, turnkey services. We provide T&D planning, project and construction management, professional substation design, substation control and protection, and commissioning and testing. With our PQ-IVR systems, our industrial customers have smooth, efficient, safeguarded, and cost-effective operations and the support they need to meet their full potential.
Features
AMSC’s PQ-IVR systems can elevate your industrial operations, offering superior efficiency, reliability, and comprehensive power quality protection. Some key features of our PQ-IVR systems include:
- Precise Power Injection: Injects reactive power immediately into the network, preventing voltage disturbances.
- Advanced Technology: Uses proprietary four-quadrant IGBT inverters with millions of reliable operational hours.
- Continuous Operation: Does not shut down during voltage dips and will never exceed the power correction rebuild design limits.
- Cost-Saving Solutions: Prevents hours of plant downtime, protects against equipment wear and tear, enhances energy efficiency, and safeguards operations.
- Shunt-Connected Design: Sag rebuild is not load dependent, so additional load can be added to the plant while still providing the required voltage support.
- Facility-Wide Protection: Guards against voltage swells and sags up to 60% of nominal voltage, protecting valuable equipment and operations.
Ride-Through Capability: Provides at least two seconds of ride-through at full power, keeping operations running.
Applications
AMSC’s PQ-IVR system are a dynamic option for customers who need a cost-saving solution that has the following applications:
- Industrial Applications: Used by auto parts manufacturers, semiconductor fabricators, and chemical processors for uninterrupted operations, saving them billions in revenue each year due to unnecessary downtime.
- Power Quality Solutions: Protects operations and valuable equipment from sags, swells, and other voltage disturbances.
- Increasing Load Flexibility: Unlike series-connected devices, more load can be added without issues.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Ensures smooth, efficient, and cost-effective operations without hours of downtime and the need to recalibrate equipment due to slight voltage variations.
- Complete Turnkey Services: Includes T&D planning, project and construction management, substation design, control and protection, and commissioning and testing so that your operations can be up and running fast and worry free.
Comprehensive Customer Support: Provides comprehensive support to help customers reach their full potential.
Benefits
AMSC’s PQ-IVR systems means peace of mind and successful, efficient, and worry-free industrial operations for our customers. As technology advances, the demand for fast, uninterrupted power can put a strain on operations. This causes plants to struggle to keep up with the demand load, creating voltage fluctuations, downtime, and damage to valuable equipment. But, we have a solution. AMSC’s PQ-IVR systems easily mitigate these concerns by utilizing dynamic voltage stabilization technology, saving our customers billions in lost revenue each year. Each PQ-IVR system detects power quality problems within milliseconds, immediately injecting precise amounts of reactive power into the network to correct both balanced and unbalanced events. PQ-IVR systems feature a shunt-connected design for robust protection. Unlike series-connected devices, they handle additional loads seamlessly. PQ-IVR systems are crucial for sensitive equipment because they provide at least two seconds of ride-through at full power. Customers looking to rapidly deploy our PQ-IVR systems can enjoy comprehensive turnkey services, having you set up for success. At AMSC, our dedicated team will provide T&D planning, project and construction management, commissioning and testing, and more.
