TBEA is making progress in the Brazilian solar energy market with the implementation of TSVG (TBEA Static Var Generator) technology, a harmonic control and reactive power compensation solution that, according to the company, is making its debut in the country as part of a large-scale photovoltaic generation project.
According to Guilherme de Souza, TBEA's LATAM After-Sales Services Manager, the device will be integrated directly into the customer's substation busbar, as part of a project that will begin operating in May.
“In addition to the traditional scope with an electrical center and transformer manufactured by TBEA, and 363 kW inverters, this project will feature the innovation of Statcom TSVG”, he emphasized.
The technology is already well-established in markets such as China and India, countries that face similar technical challenges due to the high penetration of renewable sources. “It is a regulatory requirement in countries with a large amount of installed renewable load, and now we are bringing this technology to Brazil, focusing on solar and wind power plants,” he highlighted.
TBEA's TSVG injects or absorbs reactive power quickly and accurately to maintain voltage stability in the power grid. It is widely used in industrial applications, wind farms, solar power plants and transmission systems to improve the efficiency and stability of the power system.
It is worth mentioning that the TSVG manufactured by TBEA brings additional functionalities, such as harmonic cancellation up to the 13th order and effective reduction of transformer stations and inverters in solar plants, providing a significant reduction in CAPEX in this type of plant.
Expansion of TBEA in Brazil
As one of the largest portfolios of products and solutions in the electrical sector, TBEA continues to grow rapidly, closing an order for 7 GVA in 800 KV rectifier transformers for one of the bi-poles being installed in Brazil.
In the case of TSVG, the arrival of the technology follows the manufacturer's own growth in the country in of solar inverters and mobile medium-voltage substations. Currently, the company has 1,5 GWac in centralized photovoltaic energy projects in operation in Brazil and plans to add almost 1,55 GWac in the third quarter of this year. "We should end the third quarter with more than 3 GWac in operation," said the executive.
With the introduction of this innovation, the company stressed that it seeks to anticipate regulatory and technical demands that should become increasingly common in the country as the electricity matrix becomes more renewable and decentralized.
