Voltage Regulation
Voltage-controller as integrated function of the SIPROTEC 5 system platform
The modular design of SIPROTEC 5 hardware and software and the high-performance engineering tool DIGSI 5 are the fundamentals for the integrated voltage-controller functionality. This control function is processed in parallel to protection, automation, measurement, and monitoring tasks.
Functions
Motivation for an integrated voltage control solution:
- Optimization of investment and operating costs (spare parts inventory, engineering, optimized use of equipment)
- Full flexibility until shortly before commissioning (simple function adjustment via software)
- Simple adjustment in the event of changed grid conditions (e.g. expansion of the grid node due to regenerative feeds)
Benefits
Benefits of integrated voltage control solution
- Reduced investment: Integrated voltage regulator function – regulation, control and protection with one device.
- Available in almost all SIPROTEC 5 devices
- Simplified commissioning
- Less testing effort
- Compact design
