GridON’s breakthrough fault current limiter (FCL), has successfully completed its first year of operational service on UK Power Networks’ primary substation at Newhaven, East Sussex, proving both reliable operation and extremely effective performance in limiting several network fault events
GridON’s FCL has successfully completed its first year of operational service, proving both reliable operation and extremely effective performance in limiting several network fault events. The FCL performed exactly as specified and designed for - it reacted instantaneously, reducing the excessive current during the entire fault duration, and recovered to normal operation immediately upon fault isolation and clearance.
GridON’s FCL has proven to be remarkably robust and reliable, and following extensive experience in live operation for the past year, GridON is confident in its maturity for wide deployment in all voltage ratings.
GridON has recently sold an FCL to Western Power Distribution for a primary substation in Birmingham, UK. GridON's FCL has drawn continuous interest in potential unit sales from distribution and transmission network operators, as well as from energy-intensive industrial corporations, around the world.
By suppressing prospective faults, GridON's FCL enables network meshing and connection of additional power generation sources. The FCL significantly cuts capital expenditures and extends the useful life of existing network assets. In case you are challenged by increasing faults in your network, GridON would appreciate the opportunity to explore possible solutions with you at your earliest convenience.
