The transformative role of phase shifters in the energy transition
Phase shifting transformers are key to creating balance within and between power networks. With their capability to provide active power flow control, phase shifters not only improve the stability and flexibility of grids but also maximize the utility of existing hardware. In our rapidly evolving energy landscape marked by an increase in renewable power plants and complex power generation scenarios, phase shifters mitigate the challenges of unwanted power flows, ensure grid stability, and prevent overloads.
A holistic approach: from customer challenge to energization on site
Siemens Energy has established a service that goes beyond finetuning customer requirements. Subject-matter specialists run grid studies that go toward building a comprehensive profile to answer the key question: What capabilities does the phase shifter need to solve the customer’s pain points?
Defining the specs
Once specifications have been set, a tender can only achieve so much in ensuring a cost-efficient result. Therefore, Siemens Energy offers customers a collaborative and iterative approach to defining specifications. The experts share their insights into which combinations of specifications drive cost and performance, while the customer’s network planners have a clear picture of the required capabilities of their new transformer.
This Siemens Energy approach combines expertises to give customers a perfectly tailored transformer – the most cost-efficient and robust solution to the performance needed.
