SVC PLUS Mobile — Siemens Energy multi-tool for transmission grids: temporary grid support and grid resilience during emergencies

Datasheet · EN — Single-page Siemens Energy data sheet (flyer format, DIN A4, 2021) introducing SVC PLUS Mobile — the SVC PLUS STATCOM 'on wheels' for temporary grid support and grid resilience during emergencies. It frames the need (decarbonization and decentralization require resilient grids that must be supported flexibly at different locations in the shortest possible time), lists the target applications (decentral power generation, line rework and restoration, highly flexible network-condition changes, restoration after severe incidents such as thunderstorm or fire), and states the solution: a mobile STATCOM based on voltage-sourced converter (VSC) technology that can be moved and re-installed within a period of days, within Siemens Energy's FACTS portfolio. The document contains no electrical ratings table and prints no Mvar or voltage figures — only the qualitative benefits reproduced here.

What it is
SVC PLUS Mobile — Siemens Energy's STATCOM, known as SVC PLUS, on wheels, for optimum grid stability and power quality
Relocatability
The mobile STATCOM can be moved and re-installed within a period of days in a region to support grids locally
Grid independence
Can be used independently of the grid configuration
Portfolio
Belongs to Siemens Energy's powerful portfolio of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS)
Technology
Based on Siemens Energy's innovative voltage-sourced converter technology (VSC) with very low footprint
Use cases
Decentral power generation, line rework and restoration, highly flexible changes of network condition, restoration after severe incidents (e.g. thunderstorm, fire) — in general: where time for system planning is rare and buffer is needed

About this data sheet

This single-page Siemens Energy document (flyer-format data sheet, DIN A4, published 2021) presents SVC PLUS Mobile, described as the "Siemens Energy multi-tool for transmission grids – temporary grid support and grid resilience during emergencies". Further information is referenced at siemens-energy.com/facts.

Fidelity note: the document is a one-pager and contains no electrical ratings table — no Mvar rating, voltage class or dimensional data is printed. The only technical claims are the qualitative statements reproduced verbatim in the sections below. Minor spellings such as "independenly", "restauration" and "Hightech" appear as printed in the original.

The challenge: resilient grids under decarbonization and decentralization

The challenges set by decarbonization and decentralization require resilient grids. It becomes necessary to flexibly support the grid at different locations in the shortest possible amount of time. Stabilizing the grid is especially important in the following applications: change of network condition by decentral power generation; line rework and restauration; high flexible change of network condition; and restauration after severe incidences (e. g. thunderstorm, fire …).

In general: where time for system planning is rare and buffer is needed.

Solutions: the SVC PLUS STATCOM on wheels

More efficient use of existing transmission infrastructure is the key. SVC PLUS Mobile, the Siemens Energy's STATCOM, known as SVC PLUS®, on wheels ensures optimum grid stability and power quality. It can be used independenly of the grid configuration and belongs to Siemens Energy's powerful portfolio of flexible AC transmission systems (FACTS).

The page illustrates the solution with photographs of the containerized trailer-mounted unit (in the workshop and on site) and an isometric grid illustration showing mobile units deployed across a transmission network.

Benefits in a nutshell

The document lists four benefits in a sidebar box, reproduced verbatim: the mobile STATCOM can be moved and re-installed within a period of days in a region to support grids locally; SVC Plus Mobile can allow sufficient planning and implementation time to support grids temporarily during rework; cost and time efficient — the solution makes it possible to overcome the duration of long projects as e.g. line rework; and Hightech — based on Siemens Energy's innovative voltage-sourced converter technology (VSC) with very low footprint.
