The LVR will help manage the instability and frequent variation of voltage levels in the distribution network.
ABB has developed LVRs for medium-voltage (MV) with ratings up to 8MVAand low-voltage (LV) grids with ratings up to 250kVA.
Developed under the Germany’s ‘Networks of the future/Smart Country’ initiative, the LVR has been tested on distribution grids in Germany.
ABB Power Products division president Bernhard Jucker said: "This latest LVR can automatically adjust the voltage based on the actual load or generation mix in the distribution system, addressing a key stability challenge posed by the increasing amount of renewables entering the power network.
"This development is in line with our Next Level Strategy, and addresses the dynamics of the evolving power grid."
