AMSC (American Superconductor) products

Modular solution to regulate voltage and power factor at key grid locations. AMSC’s interconnection & reactive power compensation solutions ensure high network performance and stability. AMSC’s D-VAR® (Dynamic Volt-Amp Reactive) system is a powerful, cost-effective way to provide continuous voltage regulation, improve voltage stability, meet interconnection requirements and dynamically provide grid support where it’s needed. The D-VAR system: modular and compact, accommodating areas with limited space availability.

Retrofit solution for even the strictest wind turbine ride-through requirements. With renewable energy playing a more prominent role in our power supplies, improved low voltage ride-through (LVRT) and high voltage ride-through (HVRT) capability is becoming critical for existing wind turbines. AMSC’s full-featured fault ride-through retrofit solution is the D-VAR RT (ride-through) system, which is designed to allow existing wind turbines to meet even the most restrictive grid interconnection requirements. This patent-pending product offers a solution for new regulatory requirements applied to existing wind turbines and features powerful, cost-effective technology that allows turbines to ride through a wide range of disturbances. AMSC’s D-VAR RT system helps new and existing turbines meet the latest regulatory requirements.

Low voltage ride-through (RT) retrofit solution designed specifically for China. China’s rapid growth to become the world leader in wind power installations has created significant challenges related to low voltage ride-through (LVRT) capabilities. Today, a large number of wind turbines in China need to be retrofitted with a solution that is optimized to the needs of the Chinese grid. AMSC’s solution is the Wind-RT system solution, which provides dramatically improved LVRT, simple installation and reliable operation. This patent-pending product offers a solution for new regulatory requirements applied to existing wind turbines and features powerful, cost-effective technology that allows turbines to ride through a wide range of disturbances. AMSC’s Wind-RT system enables existing turbines to meet new Chinese codes and continue operation.

AMSC’s D-VAR VVO® is a distribution class shunt compensation system that provides utilities & project developers with a purpose-built tool to address applications that demand fast and precise volt/VAR compensation, such as those driven by increased DER penetration. D-VAR VVO builds upon over 20 years of experience in manufacturing and deployment of D-VAR® dynamic reactive power solutions in utility networks. Featuring continuous control of reactive current, these power electronic compensators can be used to solve dynamic response limitations and costly mechanical wear issues associated with conventional switched cap banks and tap changing regulators.

Power Quality Industrial Voltage Restorer systems provide instantaneous, facility-wide protection against voltage swells and one-, two- and three-phase sags up to 60% of nominal voltage. They can detect power quality problems within milliseconds and counteract before they turn into costly problems. PQ-IVR systems incorporate the latest power electronic converters and can be configured to meet a wide range of customer requirements, helping industrial facilities realize their full profit potential.
