    • Operates as an islanded supply or in parallel with the public grid on a dual connection
    • Rectification stage 33/0.69 kV, inversion stage 0.69/11 kV, with DC link battery voltage support
    • Factory-assembled and tested as a complete containerised unit before shipping
    • Outdoor-rated skid, IP54 with C3 anti-corrosion grade

    Overview

    GridLink provides a controlled electrical interface between a generator and a private consumer, delivering part or all of the generator's output directly to site, either as an islanded supply or in parallel with the public grid. At its core is a power electronics converter that manages voltage, frequency and active power flow.

    The G99 variant addresses a change in regulatory interpretation of G99: the converter's output stage now performs fault ride-through (FRT) and fast fault current injection (FFCI) directly, removing dependency on the generator's own ride-through capability and the earlier disconnection interlock. The 5 MVA skid footprint and interfaces are unchanged from the original variant.

    Figures are indicative and subject to change; project-specific ratings and certified data are confirmed per project.
