AMSC has announced that two of its D-VAR STATCOM reactive compensation solutions will be used to increase grid reliability on the UK's power grid.
SSE will utilise D-VAR reactive compensation and voltage control systems to enhance the electricity grid in the Western Isles of Scotland near the future wind farms at Stornoway and Loch Carnan. The solution includes installation and ongoing maintenance and support for SSE. The contract calls for commissioning of the system by the end of 2012. Commissioning of the system near the Loch Carnan Wind Farm is expected in the first half of 2013.
