AVR Settings Design
We’re changing the face of the grid, enabling energy flow more safely, smoothly and more efficiently, to make a net zero world possible.
Overview
Our Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Design service ensures that your SuperTAPP settings are 100% optimised for your specific substations, transformers and networks.
Challenges
- Incorrect AVR settings cause integration issues, over/under-voltage errors and inadvertently high levels of circulating current.
- Customer voltages outside statutory parameters can lead to penalties.
- Incorrectly regulated voltages can cause customer equipment failures.
- Connection of additional, intermittent generation disrupts voltage control.
- EV charging and other changes in customer demand disrupt voltage control.
- Uncontrolled voltages waste power, stress assets and increase system losses.
Solutions
-
For network operation
We optimise the AVR settings for your specific assets, based on detailed information about the substations, transformers and network.
-
For network operation
Our custom-designed settings ensure your AVRs perform at optimum efficiency when there are any changes to your assets, supply inputs or customer demand profiles.
-
For network operation
Available for new installs, refurbs and substations with changed parameters. We can also integrate and optimise settings for new and legacy transformers.
-
For network operation
Optimised settings can be implemented by our engineers, in-house or third party contractors, with ongoing technical support, directly from our experts.
Technical Summary
- Settings optimised for distributed generation connections.
- Settings optimised for peaks and troughs in customer demand.
- Settings optimised for changes in substation equipment and operating conditions.
- We can integrate new and legacy transformers – and some 3rd party AVRs.
- Fix and upgrade legacy transformers to modern voltage control standards.
- Reduce wasteful circulating current between transformers.
- Make AVR Settings compatible with your overall voltage control strategy.
- Engage with our Consulting Team to help achieve whole-system voltage control.
- Implement digital communications to make every asset part of voltage control.
