Switched Source helps distribution system operators better utilize legacy grid infrastructure by providing power-electronics that increase reliability and efficiency, as well as increasing the system’s capacity for hosting renewable and distributed energy resources.
Switched Source’s flagship device, the Tie Controller, unlocks superior grid management capabilities, acting as a controllable valve to “push and pull” specified amounts of both real and reactive power bi-directionally. As a result, neighboring power lines can be operated as a networked platform providing all energy consumers with two sources of power.
