RELIABLE POWER DISTRIBUTION Outdoor systems for a more resilient grid Start

Introduction Power distribution grids are becoming more and more complex. To facilitate a reliable power supply, increased resilience is needed. Therefore, we focus on helping customers to improve the r eliability and efficiency of their distribution grids. From the substation to the end users, we offer a complete portfolio for energy distribution over the entire supply chain: from planning through design and manufacturing up to installation, operation and service. By keeping them a step ahead of their challenges from end to end, utilities are enabled to optimize less developed network environments...

We contribute to decarbonization Our portfolio supports the integration of sustainable power generation into existing grids, and promotes future topics such as electromobility by increasing grid reliability. As a pioneer in vacuum switching technology, we drive the transformation towards equipment with a low environmental impact to further reduce emissions. Our outdoor switching devices are a successful example for state-of-the-art technology focused on sustainability over the entire product lifecycle. We combine the latest technology in vacuum switching and electronic control as an alternative...

Outstanding capacity to adapt to critical situations Overhead lines constitute about 70 percent of the world’s medium-voltage power distribution grids. They extend many thousands of kilometres, often in sparsely populated areas. Impacts from external influences such as extreme weather events, lightning strikes, falling branches, or animals make them vulnerable to faults. To withstand adverse conditions and minimize faults and outages in networks, a greater resilience is required. With leading technology, high standards in quality, and ongoing development, we can provide an exceptional product...

No compromise on health and safety Driven by innovation, our engineers always aim to develop safer switchgear solutions and improved design concepts. From conception to product development, the ease of installation and operation, reduced maintenance, and outstanding protection are at the core of our efforts. The result is a portfolio that encompasses products with a small footprint, less weight, fully integrated technology, simplified installation, and fast commissioning. These factors contribute to less operator risks and improved safety. Additionally, end users are less impacted by system downtime...

Make the most of your budget Functional and solid product development helps to optimize applications and simplify installations. With a cost-efficient approach, customers achieve optimal results for their assets. This includes a lower investment cost, the avoidance of penalties (SAIDI and SAIFI), quicker installation and commissioning of equipment, and less truck rolls due to better network protection. Combined with low maintenance requirements, this results in low operating costs and a fast return on investment (CAPEX and OPEX savings). Less truck rolls and lower labor cost result in reduced...

SMART GRID Clever functions for reliable operation To meet varying electricity demands, our advanced solutions enable to sense, monitor, communicate, and manage energy flows, as well as real-time electricity asset management. Smart grids are designed to maintain system resiliency, stability and reliability while allowing maximum renewable power generation connected to the grid at the same time. Flexible solutions for automatic protection and remote operation, supported by state-of-the-art communications for lightning-fast data exchange is the key to achieve this. We meet the demanding requirements...
