ABB wins order to optimise Germany’s renewable energy integration

ABB has won an order worth around US$ 30 million from Amprion, a German transmission grid operator, to supply phase-shifting transformers (PSTs) that will optimise power flow in the German electricity network and help in the integration of renewable resources.

 

To better control the flow of power in the existing grid infrastructure, ABB is supplying two PSTs with 2,494 megavolt amperes (MVA) capacity each. These PSTs will enable Amprion to integrate wind power more efficiently.
