Datasheet · EN — Single-page Siemens Energy data sheet (flyer format, DIN A4, 2021) introducing SVC PLUS FS, the SVC PLUS frequency stabilizer. Using a bulk number of supercapacitors, it is described as a cost-efficient, compact solution to generation-consumption imbalances: it boosts high active power into the grid emulating system inertia (discharging), actively loads the capacitors when beneficial for the grid (charging), and provides voltage support by reactive power compensation like SVC PLUS. Seven operational benefits are listed (blackout prevention, cost-effectiveness, short response time, high flexibility, independence of power generation, environmental friendliness, proven technologies) alongside a single-line diagram Grid → Transformer → Converter → Supercapacitors. The document contains no electrical ratings table — no Mvar/MW, voltage or energy figures are printed; the only quantitative statement is a fast response 'over several seconds'.
This single-page Siemens Energy document (flyer-format data sheet, DIN A4, published 2021) presents SVC PLUS FS under the title "SVC PLUS FS — Ensuring grid stability with frequency support by power electronics". Further product information is referenced at siemens-energy.com/SVCPLUSFS.
Fidelity note: the document is a one-pager and contains no electrical ratings table — no Mvar/MW rating, voltage level, energy capacity or footprint figures are printed. The only quantitative statement is the response-time claim of high active power output "over several seconds", reproduced below. Two source typos are transcribed as printed: "benifitial" and "CO2 emmissions".
While grids are undergoing fundamental changes in terms of power generation, renewable infeed and ever-growing demand, power quality and dynamic grid stability are at risk due to less synchronous power generation.
By using a bulk number of supercapacitors, the new SVC PLUS® frequency stabilizer (SVC PLUS FS) is a cost-efficient, compact solution that helps to overcome generation-consumption imbalances:
by boosting high active power into the grid when needed emulating system inertia (discharging); actively load capacitors when it is benifitial for the grid (charging) as well; and voltage support by means of reactive power compensation like SVC PLUS® (bullet list transcribed verbatim, including the source spelling "benifitial").
The data sheet lists seven operational benefits, reproduced verbatim in the table below.
Alongside the benefits, a single-line diagram shows the system composition from the grid connection down to the energy storage: Grid, Transformer, Converter, Supercapacitors.
| Benefit | Description as printed |
|---|---|
| Blackout prevention | Dynamic voltage and frequency support combined in one unit for optimal power quality. |
| Cost-effective solution | Low lifetime expenditures through compact, space-saving installation with high power density, low losses, and easy maintenance. |
| Short response time | Fast response time with high active power output over several seconds. |
| High flexibility | The highly adaptable solution is suitable for various applications through the flexible adjustment of control parameters. |
| Independent of power generation | Not defined as a power generating unit and therefore available to all transmission system operators who aren't allowed to operate power generating assets. |
| Environmentally friendly | Small footprint, no local CO2 emmissions; allows more grid access for renewable power generators. |
| Proven technologies | High-end field-proven SVC PLUS® technology and innovative application of supercapacitors combined into a reliable solution. |
