1. GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business and TECO Electric and Machinery Co are installing two units of ±200 Mvar STATCOM systems at the ZhangGong Step-up Substation and the YongXing Switchyard in central Taiwan.
2. The collaboration between GE Vernova and TECO aims to integrate more renewable energy into the area, enhancing the stability of Taiwan’s grid, especially in regions like Changhua County, known for diverse renewable energy projects.
3. The STATCOM systems will play a crucial role in maintaining power flow stability as renewable energy sources become more prevalent, regulating voltage and reactive power to ensure a reliable and efficient power grid.
GE Vernova’s Grid Solutions business, in collaboration with TECO Electric and Machinery Co, is set to install two units of ±200 Mvar STATCOM systems at the ZhangGong Step-up Substation and YongXing Switchyard in central Taiwan. This partnership aims to enhance the stability of Taiwan’s grid and facilitate the integration of more renewable energy in the area, which is known for its diverse renewable energy projects including solar, wind, and hydro power.
TECO will handle the civil work and site operations while GE Vernova will deliver the STATCOM systems and transformer solutions. The cooperation between the two companies is expected to contribute to Taiwan’s renewable energy goals and ensure a stable electricity supply in the region.
STATCOMs play a crucial role in maintaining the stability of power flow within a region, especially as the proportion of renewable energy sources increases. These systems regulate voltage and reactive power, ensuring sustained reliability and efficiency of the power grid, particularly during times when renewable energy sources are not producing power.
The collaboration between GE Vernova and TECO highlights a commitment to sustainable energy solutions and driving positive change on a global scale. This initiative aligns with Taiwan’s renewable energy goals and emphasizes the importance of advanced technologies in ensuring a stable and efficient electricity supply in the region.
