INGEGRID™ is a combination of passive elements and power electronics
units that provide a flexible and efficient solution for voltage control,
power quality, power-flow regulation and energy storage in transmission
and distribution grid.
INGEGRID™ is a new product Ingeteam range aimed at solving the
problems associated with the generation, transmission and distribution
of energy in electricity grid. Ingeteam's experience in power electronics
equipment coupled with its experience in the field of protection and
control, convert the INGEGRID™ turnkey solutions into the best solution
for resolving problems associated with these fields.
Functionalities
Postpones the updating of Transport and Distribution assets
Avoids the use of combustion turbines and provides energy that can
be locally distributed
Reduces the impact of the generation slopes in conventional centres
by means of renewable generation
Displaces wind generation from the trough to the peak hours
Auxiliary frequency, primary reserve and "black-start" capacity control
services
Reduction of Transport and Distribution line and transformer conges-
tion: "Peak-shaving"
Reduction of losses in distribution grid
Improves wave quality and sending of reactive power
Charging of electric vehicles without expansion of the existing distribution
grid
• Island supply during emergency situations
Solutions
The INGEGRID™ product range is divided into two types of unit, each
designed for clearly different purposes:
• INGEGRID™SHUNT: Parallel units designed mainly for reactive
compensation, dynamic voltage control, storage and power management
• INGEGRID™SERIES: Serial units designed to regulate power flows,
supply continuity and service quality
INGEGRID™ incorporates the protection, control and communication
systems necessary to protect the different parts of the installation and
the line to which the units are connected.
The system is capable of incorporating a SCADA system that allows
customers to view the status of their installation and to carry out actions
on its elements in a simple and intuitive manner. The solution permits
101, 104, PROCOME and 61850 communication with substation equip-
ment or transformation centres.

INGEGRID™SHUNT is a modular solution that combines reactive compensation using Power Electronics with storage units and
capacitor banks connected in parallel. The SHUNT product range is composed of one or more of the following elements:
• STATCOM (Static Compensator): A power electronics unit that enables the dynamic compensation of supplied/absorbed
reactive power. STATCOM consists of a VSC (Voltage Source Converter) connected directly to the LV (low voltage) grid or
connected via a transformer to the MV (medium voltage) and HV (high voltage) grid
• Capacitor banks: Static reactive compensation (capacitive) units
• Storage systems: Static units that enable energy to be stored following delivery to the grid. The storage systems technologies
range from the ultra-capabilities of the batteries to the flywheels
• Protective, control and communications units
Functionality
The joint availability of power electronics units, capacitor banks and storage systems provides a flexible and modular solution:
• Dynamic voltage and power factor control
• Active filtering of harmonics
■ Compliance with renewable energy generator grid codes
■ Energy storage: Peak shaving, load levelling, uninterruptible power supplies, management-integration of renewable energies
(solar, wind), frequency regulation, spinning reserve

INGEGRID™SERIES is a range of power electronics units that are connected in series in the transmission and distribution
lines. The SERIES product range is composed of one or more of the following elements:
• A VSC (Voltage Source Converter): This a power electronics unit that enables the transformation direct current into
alternating voltage and which is connected directly to the LV grid or, by means of a transformer, in series with the MV
and HV lines
■ Capacitor or inductance banks: Static reactive compensation (capacitive-inductive) units
• Protective, control and communications units
Functionality
The joint availability of power electronics units, static compensation and storage systems provides a flexible and modular
solution in terms of:
• Dynamic control of power flows in transport grid: Static Synchronous Series Compensator (SSSC)
■ Improved stability of transport grid: SSSC
■ Supply continuity for end customers: Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR)
• Compliance with renewable energy grid codes: provides generators with immunity against voltage dips
