The regulators, which stabilise networks by adjusting voltage in response to changing generation levels, have been developed for medium-voltage applications for systems up to 8MVA and low-voltage applications for use up to 250kVA.
“This latest LVR can automatically adjust the voltage based on the actual load or generation mix in the distribution system, addressing a key stability challenge posed by the increasing amount of renewables entering the power network,” says ABB power products president Bernhard Jucker.
