AMPRION AND SMART WIRES ARE TESTING MORE FLEXIBLE POWER FLOW CONTROL ON THE POWER GRID
The Dortmund-based transmission system operator (TSO) Amprion has signed a cooperation agreement with the US Silicon Valley company, Smart Wires, for a pilot project. The aim is to increase the transmission capacity of the power grid while maintaining the high level of system stability.
The partners are starting the project, which consists of three phases, with the goal of using a mobile modular static-synchronous series compensator (mSSSC) from Smart Wires in the Amprion grid. The “SmartValve ” is designed to ensure power lines are more fully
