A new grid code in Mex­i­co places greater respon­si­bil­i­ty on large con­sumers to pre­vent grid feed­back. Ernesto Viveros advis­es them on how to meet all require­ments — includ­ing with Pow­er Qual­i­ty prod­ucts from Rein­hausen.

A trac­tion trans­former is cru­cial to the oper­a­tion of a train.
It ensures that the dri­ve, brakes and oth­er impor­tant elec­tron­ic com­po­nents receive reli­able pow­er and oper­ate effi­cient­ly.

Min­er­al oils are still the stan­dard in most trans­form­ers and tap chang­ers. But there are more sus­tain­able alter­na­tives. Rain­er Frotsch­er, expert for insu­lat­ing flu­ids at MR, explains what’s impor­tant here.

In just a few years, the longest sub­ma­rine cable in the world is intend­ed to bring clean elec­tric­i­ty from Moroc­co to Great Britain and lead the island’s coun­tries into cli­­mate-neu­­tral­i­­ty. HIGHVOLT test sys­tems help to make sure that the ener­gy also arrives there reli­ably.

The TESSA® APM (asset per­for­mance man­age­ment) soft­ware shows the sta­tus of trans­form­ers in real time. With installed intel­li­gence, it extends the ser­vice life of the assets and enables more effi­cient main­te­nance.

Sjouke Pieter Boots­ma, Direc­tor Sup­ply Chain Man­age­ment at Ten­neT TSO, explains the key advan­tages of ISO 55,000, espe­cial­ly for man­ag­ing big­ger asset bases.

With its new Remote Ser­vice, Rein­hausen helps faster than ever with instal­la­tion and com­mis­sion­ing, or for mal­func­tions of tap chang­ers and trans­form­ers. Ener­gy sup­pli­ers have a dig­i­tal con­nec­tion to the Rein­hausen experts in Regens­burg via an app—any place, any time.

Solar pow­er sys­tems, charg­ing sta­tions for elec­tric vehi­cles, and bat­tery stor­age sys­tems have one thing in com­mon: They are direct cur­rent sys­tems. But as long as they are con­nect­ed via AC net­works, there are high con­ver­sion loss­es. Are direct cur­rent net­works the answer?

Whether mass-pro­­duced or cus­­tom-made, whether com­pos­ite, porce­lain or hybrid, whether for pri­ma­ry sub­sta­tions or over­head lines, and for all volt­age lev­els — 
noth­ing works in the grids with­out insu­la­tors. Rein­hausen Pow­er Com­pos­ites (RPC) cov­ers all of these aspects with its prod­uct range.

When it comes to dig­i­ti­za­tion, Thai­land is well ahead of Europe — and that also applies to the ener­gy sec­tor. Since 2016, Rein­hausen has been able to pro­vide on-site sup­port with its solu­tions and ser­vices.
