Hitachi Energy has secured an order from SP Energy Networks to develop and implement a power quality solution aimed at balancing the grid and enhancing the integration of renewable energy throughout the UK.
This solution will empower SP Energy Networks, the electricity network operator responsible for Central & Southern Scotland as well as Merseyside, Cheshire, North & Mid-Wales, and North Shropshire, to incorporate more renewable sources into the grid. The project, situated at SP Energy Networks’ substation in Eccles, comprises two sets of an SVC Light Statcom and a synchronous condenser, all centrally controlled by the Mach control system and connected at a shared electrical node.
