With the energy transition there has been a rapid increase in the connection of renewable energy sources in the power networks. These renewable systems rely heavily on power electronics and create reverse power flows in the networks.
Most power networks in Australia have aging equipment that was not designed to deal with the modern power electronics nor reverse power flows.
Key Challenges
K-BIK Power has studied many failures of new and older substations assets that have been affected by the increase in renewables technologies and has taken the lessons learnt into new equipment specifications.
K-BIK Power’s Approach
When a Client needs a new item of plant specified K-BIK Power works with them to understand the network topology in which the asset will operate.
This includes if the equipment is at the renewable generation site or in the general transmission or distribution network.
Each location can have varying challenges based on their system location and utilization.
Solutions Delivered
Taking this into account, equipment specifications that cater for renewables both now and into the future has allowed many Clients to procure equipment that is more suitable to the application than simply specifying the equipment they traditionally used.
