DynaPeaQ provides a new dimension in developing smart grids. It allows a significant increase in renewable generation, maximizing C02-free generation. It provides cost-effective, environmentally attractive, and high quality services for existing networks.
The Energy Storage can receive and store power from wind turbines and surplus power from the grid. It can take the power delivered on a sunny day from photo-voltaic panels and put it into its high capacity battery bank.Using modern electronics, DynaPeaQ feeds the grid with exactly the right amount of reactive and active power needed at each instant, independently of one another, and with a minimum of bulky filter arrangements. The system is based on SVC Light, combined with Li-ion battery storage. SVC Light is ABB’s STATCOM concept, utilizing Voltage Source Converters (VSC) connected in shunt to the grid at the transmission level, as well as at the sub-transmission and distribution levels. State-of-the-art IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are utilized as switching devices.
The Energy Storage’s ability to store energy is highly scalable. At present, rated power and capacity are typically in the 20 MW range for tens of minutes, but the technology permits up to 50 MW for periods of 60 minutes and more.
