Ellevio wind farm in Kville, Sweden
When energy company Ellevio, formerly Fortum, needed a compensation solution for their wind farm in Kville, they reached out to Comsys for a recommendation.
We understand. Whether planning a new solar, wind, hydro or other power installation, or experiencing power quality issues at an existing one, the challenges are not to be taken lightly.
Bringing more renewables into the world’s power generation and distribution networks is causing grids to become vastly more complex, giving rise to issues stemming from a wide range of sources such as
Harmonics generated by photovoltaic inverters
A lot of capacitance added by EMC filters, stimulating resonances at solar farms
Harmonics on the USP side for excitation circuits in various types of power plants
Linear loads causing distortion
Background distortion entering into the network
A need for generating reactive power at wind farms
At Comsys we understand the risks and challenges you face and provide unique technology for managing them before they turn into problems. Our Active Dynamic Filter (ADF) technology not only helps to ensure compliance with specific market regulations and Grid Codes, but also protects your high-risk assets so you can feel more secure about investing in a new wind park or solar farm. In fact, ADF offers Sensorless Control, an innovation that enables our solutions to completely lock out background disturbances and distortion that pose a high risk to your investments when interacting with the grid.
