Smart Wires Launches Newest Product, the Power Router
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
PARIS, Aug. 24, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Smart Wires announced the roll-out of
its latest power flow control technology, the Power Router(TM), at the CIGRÉ
2016 General Session in Paris. The state-of-the-art device is currently being
deployed at utilities around the world with numerous pilots in place. The Smart
Wires engineering team brought years of experience to the Power Router
development, leveraging the success of other products while integrating
revolutionary power electronics that enable the device to increase or decrease
transmission line reactance.

Designed to be the most powerful device in the Smart Wires product line, the
Power Router is typically installed on existing transmission towers or in banks
within or near the transmission right-of-way. The device is designed for
modular deployment, allowing for flexible and more efficient infrastructure
investments. The Power Router expands on the capabilities of the Power
Guardian(® )technology with increased per-unit impedance change and the ability
to synthesize a highly tunable capacitance or inductance. This new
functionality allows the Power Router to address an even greater set of network
challenges and offers electric utilities another degree of freedom in
applications where pulling power is required.
Power Router deployments can be completed in a vastly compressed timeline
compared to conventional construction, enabling faster integration of renewable
generation and often eliminating the need for reconductoring or new line
construction. Like other Smart Wires technologies, the devices can be deployed
anywhere along a line, mitigating customer concerns and avoiding environmentally
sensitive areas. Even at a fraction of the cost of conventional power flow
control solutions, the Power Router generates added value by reducing
construction outage windows and leaving open the possibility for redeployment
when system topology changes and new needs arise.
"Our priority is a laser-like focus on delivering integrated end-to-end power
flow control solutions designed to rigorous utility requirements. Early
indicators from our client base who have previewed and piloted this technology
are very promising. We are helping utilities to build intelligent assets and
transform the way they plan their grids," explained Haroon Inam, CTO for Smart
Wires.
About Smart Wires
Smart Wires solutions are deployed at leading utilities such as PG&E, Southern
Company, TVA and EirGrid. Our modular approach to grid infrastructure is unique
and has several advantages over traditional power flow control solutions that
typically require long-lead times, are highly complex, demand significant
capital investment, and ultimately represent single points of failure. Smart
Wires solutions can be deployed incrementally and reconfigured as needs evolve,
thereby reducing investment risk, shortening lead times, and providing
flexibility in an era of increasing operational uncertainty. Smart Wires is
located in the San Francisco Bay Area with offices in the United States, the
United Kingdom, Australia and Ireland.
