Enoda PRIME Exchanger
WHAT IT IS
A replacement for substation equipment including the transformer. The Prime Exchanger actively shapes the LV-network AC signal to improve network stability, and provides insight that can drive decision making in real time.
WHY IT MATTERS
Increasing The Capabilities Of The Distribution Network
Distribution networks are struggling to keep pace with the changing demands of distributed energy resources, volatile loads, and increased demand.
The Enoda PRIME Exchanger helps build the future energy system by making distribution networks more resilient, capable, and robust to disruption.
WHAT IT IS
A Dynamic Power Exchanger
Paired with our Nodal Asset Management software and linked by Ensemble, Prime Exchangers create stable and adaptable networks and are the foundation of ENODA’s intelligent, integrated platform.
FEATURES
Fundamentally New Power Flow Technology
-
Dynamically controls the LV-network voltage within the limits set by the network operator.
-
Removes harmful harmonic signals caused by volatile loads and renewable energy sources.
-
Renewable and distributed energy resources can contribute useful power rather than being curtailed.
-
Phase load balancing reduces stress on network infrastructure.
-
Power factor control can reduce the demand for reactive power from the grid.
-
Prime Exchangers can be coordinated by Enoda ENSEMBLE™ to provide frequency and ancillary services.
BENEFITS
Designed to Benefit Network Operators
Cost Effective Modernisation
The Prime Exchanger is a drop-in solution that replaces the transformer and other substation hardware, and increases the capabilities of the distribution network.
Streamlines Network Management
In-depth data and control enables DSOs to manage their networks proactively, watch operating trends, and pre-emptively mitigate disruptive events.
Improves Network Stability
Multiple Prime Exchangers, coordinated by Enoda ENSEMBLE™, can manage power flow to maximise the utility of energy resources and maintain grid stability.
Enhances Network Flexibility
With increased stability and resilience, networks can seamlessly integrate distributed energy resources and volatile loads, and serve changing consumption patterns.
HOW IT WORKS
How Prime Exchangers Harmonise Energy Across The Grid
NODAL ASSET MANAGEMENT
Nodal Asset Management software collects data from Prime Exchangers and other network devices, and is the DSOs interface to enhanced network control. Nodal Asset Management turns raw data into real-time insight that DSOs can use to optimise the performance of their networks.
