Power Control For The Vast North Sea Offshore Wind Farm

PRODUCT: avr3asxxxx-standard-range
HISTORY: The Galloper turbines transmit the electricity generated to shore via two submarine cables, each 45km long, leading to an onshore substation near the village of Necton. Here, GE used two Sollatek Automatic Voltage Regulators (Model AVR3S800) to regulate the power to critical equipment at the substation.

The Galloper turbines transmit the electricity generated to shore via two submarine cables, each 45km long, leading to an onshore substation near the village of Necton. Here, GE used two Sollatek Automatic Voltage Regulators (Model AVR3S800) to regulate the power to critical equipment at the substation.

Sollatek’s AVR3S800 provide sufficient power to control the site and boast a wide stabilisation input range of +/- 20%.Using advanced solid-state digital processor technology, these systems can efficiently correct voltage fluctuations with a response time of 15ms.To mitigate against the effects of coastal environmental factors, the Sollatek AVRs are housed in a 40” container which complies to SEN specifications SP-NETSST-510.
