Grid Intertie SFCs

Static Frequency Converters (SFCs) enable the interconnection of networks that operate at different frequencies or require advanced power-flow control to maintain stability and power quality.

Grid Intertie SFCs are among the most reliable and flexible solutions for integrating electrical systems across railways, industrial facilities, and regional or cross‑border transmission networks.

Utilities

  • Interconnection of grids with frequency mismatch, enabling cross-border power exchange and operational flexibility.
  • Low-frequency transmission with reactive power compensation for long-distance or weak network segments.

  • Electrification of isolated or remote areas, providing a stable interface to integrate them with the main grid.

  • Bidirectional power-flow control, supporting advanced energy management, congestion mitigation, and integration of renewables. 

Key Benefits

Full Power‑Flow Control

Real‑time regulation of active and reactive power enables stable and predictable operation, even in weak grids or fluctuating load environments.

Frequency Conversion

Enables seamless power exchange between systems operating at different frequencies while ensuring stability, controllability, and decoupling between both systems.

Enhanced Power Quality

Voltage support, harmonic mitigation, and LVRT capability help maintain optimal power quality and protect connected equipment from disturbances.

Reliable Long‑Distance Transmission

Low‑frequency AC capability and advanced reactive power compensation allow efficient and stable power delivery over long distances, ideal for power‑from‑shore applications and remote area electrification.

Static Frequency Converters give us a reliable way to connect power systems, whether they operate at the same or at different frequencies. With SFCs, we enable electrification across frequency boundaries, enhance power quality, deliver energy efficiently over long distances, and control power flow with precision in offshore, industrial, and utility applications.
