The demands on today's transmission grid are constantly evolving and becoming more complex to manage. Though there is an overall increasing demand for electricity, this demand is met by an aging transmission infrastructure with interconnected grids. These same grids face the challenge of diversified energy generation. Voltage on the grid can fluctuate, including harmonics, flicker phenomena, cause oscillation in power and limit the power quality and power transfer capability. These challenges can make power flow stability more complex for network operators as they also overcome fault clearing and the unexpected wrath of a natural disaster.
LORD works everyday addressing conditions and events such as these. It is why we are always looking for new innovative solutions that might turn crisis, into an opportunity to renew and better serve the utility customers.
Today we are happy to report that we have partnered with GE to provide installation and services for a new generation of technically sophisticated power grids. The new networked solutions to wide area networks and hybrid Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) address the challenges of complex power grids. These new solutions however, demand significant engineering analysis and studies to ensure the right solution is being put in place. This is where the engineering team at LORD stands out. So contact us! Let us help you rebuild a better power grid.
