PCS100 STATCOM, 100 kVAr to 10 MVAr Product overview The PCS100 STATCOM range is part of a family of STATCOM products available from ABB. Based around a low voltage converter platform, the PCS100 provides wide bandwidth performance with a flexible and highly reliable modular redundant power electronic configuration. New renewable generation such as wind and solar are becoming an increasingly important part of our electricity grid, but to meet grid connection requirements STATCOM products must often be fitted. By injecting reactive current during a fault condition the STATCOM will help the system ride through fault events. During normal generation it can correct for voltage flicker and power factor. The PCS100 STATCOM utilises advanced control allowing it to damp voltage disturbances in the electricity network. This is very important when recovering from a fault, event or in maintaining power system stability. The PCS100 STATCOM is also suited to the traditional industrial applications, correcting flicker and other disturbances created by industrial loads. In certain applications stored real power is required to support the electricity network. The STATCOM is designed to be “MW Ready” allowing energy storage devices such as flywheels, super capacitors and batteries to be interfaced to the electricity network either at the initial install time or some time later. Industrial loads such as arc furnaces and mesh grid welders can produce electrical supply disturbances such as flicker and current distortion. A PCS100 STATCOM provides the ideal solution.
User benefits - Improves power quality and plant reliability - Increases network stability and transmission capacity - Delivers grid compliance when necessary for renewable energy
Features - Power factor control - Voltage regulation - Negative sequence/unbalance compensation of current or voltage - Flicker compensation - Active resonance damping - Multiple system parallel control - High and low voltage ride through - Modular inverter blocks for simple long term maintenance
Options - Compact, self contained systems – small footprint indoor or outdoor enclosure options - MW Ready option for future energy storage integration ( For higher power levels, the medium voltage PCS 6000 system is recommended )
