GridLink Private Wire Solution

Islanded or dual-connection private wire interface

The commercial and technical overview of the GridLink arrangement: how a generator sells directly to a private consumer, how power flow is controlled at the point of connection, and how the system stays inside network and equipment standards.

Controlled interface delivering part or all of a generator's output directly to a private consumer
Islanded supply, or in parallel with an existing grid connection
Power electronics converter controls voltage, frequency and active power flow
One-directional active power; prevents unintended export beyond the private wire
Reactive power control to compensate for interconnection impedance
Modular, factory-assembled; outdoor installation next to existing HV infrastructure

Overview

GridLink provides a controlled electrical interface between a generator and a private consumer. It allows part or all of the generator's output to be delivered directly to the consumer, either as an islanded supply or as part of a dual connection operating in parallel with an existing grid connection while maintaining defined and controlled power flow.

For the generator, it enables direct energy sales to a private consumer at a higher unit energy value than conventional export to the public grid. For the consumer, it provides access to locally generated electricity through a dedicated private-wire connection, typically at a lower unit energy cost than electricity supplied via the public grid.

The architecture is flexible and modular, suited to industrial facilities, utilities, infrastructure operators and renewable energy projects.
