FACTS

ABB grid technology provides stable, reliable power to three million homes in the Northeastern US

ABB’s SVC Light® solution delivers more voltage stability and reduces risk of power interruptions in the Northeastern US.

FACTS (Flexible Alternating Current Transmission Systems) technologies provide more power and control in existing AC as well as green-field networks and have minimal environmental impact.

With a complete portfolio and in-house manufacturing of key components, Hitachi ABB Power Grids is a reliable partner in shaping the grid of the future.

Our offering

STATCOM

Electrical loads both generate and absorb reactive power.

Static Frequency Converters (SFC)

Connecting industrial, utility and rail applications to the electrical supply with differing voltage and frequency is a complex task.

Fixed series compensation

Series compensation is a well established technology that is primarily used to reduce transfer reactances, most notably in bulk transmission corridors.

Static Var compensation (SVC)

Static Var Compensators (SVCs) are devices that can quickly and reliably control line voltages.

Synchronous Condenser System

Hitachi ABB Power Grids rotating condenser's short-circuit power and high inertia compliments the fast response time of our Static Var Compensators (SVC), offering an unrivalled system solution.

Thyristor controlled series compensation

Series compensation is a well established technology that is primarily used to reduce transfer reactances, most notably in bulk transmission corridors.
