Unlike traditional grid-following PCS that purely follow the grid voltage, Hopewind's Grid-Forming PCS acts as a Voltage Source. It actively constructs voltage and frequency, providing vital support for renewable energy systems and weak grids.
Solves instability issues caused by high proportions of wind and solar, enabling high percentage renewable energy access in local grids without curtailment.
Replaces the need for expensive synchronous condensers and additional compensation devices, reducing overall CAPEX for the plant owners.
Mimics the characteristics of traditional synchronous generators to provide instantaneous inertia support, preventing rapid frequency drops during grid disturbances.
Acts as a Voltage Source rather than a Current Source, actively establishing and stabilizing grid voltage and frequency instead of passively following them.
