Aimed at electricity utilities and manufacturers of renewable energy products, VoltLogic is a four-quadrant device that can import, export and store real and reactive power.

Following the success of its Eco Whisper silent wind turbine, Renewable Energy Solutions Australia (RESA) is set to release VoltLogic.

Replacing products currently on the market, VoltLogic is an all in one solution that delivers multiple functionalities including grid stabilisation, power factor correction, voltage regulation, peak demand shifting, UPS, inverter and phase balancing. Existing solutions require network rebuilding and/or multiple devices to deliver only some of these functions where-as VoltLogic efficiently and economically delivers all functionality within a single solution to reduce infrastructure expenditure.

Currently, fluctuations in the supply of renewable energy can mean voltage spikes, leading to wear and tear on equipment, shorter equipment life spans and increased costs. VoltLogic can manage these spikes and operate as an inverter from the renewable energy source/s. In areas where there are limitations on exported power such as in remote and rural areas, VoltLogic can limit power exported to the grid.

VoltLogic provides a myriad of hybrid solutions, with the ability to combine electrical power from various renewable and/or non-renewable energy sources. Even in hybrid systems there is still only one point of attachment to the grid, simplifying installation.

RESA principal commercial manager Michael Le Messurier says VoltLogic is an exciting new product to be bringing to market.

“It’s perfect for utilities wanting to extend the life of ageing assets, as voltage can be optimised without costly investment in new infrastructure. We are currently working closely with electricity utilities around the country to help them realise the benefits of improving the efficiency of their networks,” he says.

VoltLogic is available in single and three-phase options, and with modular architecture, can be easily expanded as system requirements grow.
