An efficient and effective power quality solution

To address this challenge, ABB will supply a step-less Power Quality Compensator - Reactive ((PQCR), which helps to regulate and stabilize the power supply when there are dynamic and highly fluctuating loads. The PQCR will help improve power quality and voltage stability and help comply with grid codes. In addition, ABB will also supply fixed and dynamic reactive power compensation panels at 23 traction substations.

By improving the reliability of the grid and reducing downtime, ABB's innovative PQCR technology will help DFCCIL optimize the operating costs of its freight network. The solution will be implemented in the western segment of the DFC between Mumbai and Dadri that covers a distance of more than 1,500 km.

"We are pleased to support the Indian Railways with our state-of-the-art power quality technology and to contribute to a world class freight rail corridor in the country," said Giandomenico Rivetti, head of ABB's High Voltage Products business, a part of the company's Power Grids division. "This initiative further supports ABB's commitment to contribute to India's economic growth with state-of-the-art technology solutions."

As a pioneering technology leader, ABB offers power quality products and solutions in low, medium and high-voltage applications for utility, industrial, infrastructure and transportation sectors.
