With a pop\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion of just under six mil\u00adlion inhab\u00adi\u00adtants in an area rough\u00adly equiv\u00ada\u00adlent to that of Ger\u00admany, the coun\u00adtry is very sparse\u00adly pop\u00adu\u00adlat\u00aded. Except for urban cen\u00adters such as Oslo, Bergen, and Trond\u00adheim in the south and south\u00adwest, many com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adties and towns are scat\u00adtered far apart and often very remote. What makes the land\u00adscape so appeal\u00ading is a real chal\u00adlenge for reli\u00adable pow\u00ader sup\u00adply. Since medi\u00adum-volt\u00adage lines from the grid con\u00adnec\u00adtion point to the near\u00adest set\u00adtle\u00adment are often twen\u00adty kilo\u00adme\u00adters or longer, keep\u00ading the volt\u00adage sta\u00adble for con\u00adsumers here is any\u00adthing but easy.

An MV reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtor com\u00adpen\u00adsates for volt\u00adage drops or ris\u00ades in the mid\u00addle or last third of long lines. But it can do even more, as Alexan\u00adder Kris\u00adtensen, CCO at Magtech, explains: \u201cEven if the ther\u00admal capac\u00adi\u00adty of the line is avail\u00adable, the volt\u00adage drop means that, with\u00adout reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion, not all of the pow\u00ader can be trans\u00admit\u00adted.&nbsp;Depend\u00ading on the design, an MV reg\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtor can even triple the capac\u00adi\u00adty of a line.\u201d This elim\u00adi\u00adnates the need for com\u00adplex and cost\u00adly grid expan\u00adsion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\"
