Technology Description
The Phase-EQ technology is a patented power electronics device that gives utilities dynamic, dispatchable control of power from phase-to-phase in a three-phase circuit. This can be installed at feeder mid-points, or at the substation. Inter-phase balancing can be automated to make all power downstream of the device appear as perfectly balanced three-phase power to the upstream system. The Phase-EQ can also be given measurements for a different point in the feeder to “virtually” balance to that point. This technology has been supported and vetted by NYSERDA for its ability to increase solar and EV hosting of distribution systems.
