Power Electronics for Medium Voltage Distribution Networks
Distribution utilities are under pressure to accommodate distributed energy generation, solar, electric vehicles, and other unconventional or bi-directional "loads". These varying loads create voltage quality problems at the medium voltage level not easily corrected with conventional voltage regulators, switched cap banks, etc.
AMSC has developed a power electronic device (D-VAR VVO) that connects directly to the medium voltage distribution grid (without a transformer) for the correction of voltage quality problems. The D-VAR VVO can be sited anywhere a voltage regulator can, and can be installed by utility line crews.
That said, practitioners of power electronics and electric power engineering bring different sets of ideas and expectations to product features, usability, reliability, etc. The technical features of the D-VAR VVO will be introduced and serve to motivate stories and surprises from the VVO product.
