Success stories

The transformation of electricity consumption and generation profiles, driven by the incorporation of new energy vectors such as photovoltaic self-consumption, electric mobility, and the electrification of industrial processes, is creating new challenges in voltage management in low-voltage distribution networks. In this context, a real-world success case has been developed based on the integration of a power electronics converter in a 400 kVA distribution transformer substation, with the aim of enabling dynamic voltage management in the associated low-voltage network.

The implemented solution makes it possible to actively improve power quality through dynamic reactive power (kVAR) regulation, phase current balancing, and harmonic current compensation. This advanced control helps stabilize voltage under varying conditions, improve the energy efficiency of industrial processes, and increase the effective capacity of the electrical network, benefiting both end users and electricity distribution companies.

Intelligent voltage management through power electronics is thus consolidated as a real and mature solution for distribution networks and industrial environments, providing improved operational control, greater system stability, and more efficient use of existing infrastructure. This approach allows electrical networks to adapt to new energy scenarios without the need for major infrastructure expansions.

In this project, Energy in the Cloud acts as a high–value-added technology partner, thanks to its extensive experience in the design, operation, and optimization of electrical networks. Its deep understanding of distribution network behavior, combined with advanced capabilities in power electronics, digitalization, and control, enables the delivery of integrated solutions that efficiently address emerging challenges related to power quality, flexibility, and system resilience.

This initiative represents one of Energy in the Cloud’s strong commitments to actively contributing to the transformation of 21st-century power grids, with a forward-looking vision toward the challenges and opportunities of the 22nd century, fostering smarter, more flexible networks ready for the energy transition.
