Hitachi Energy has been innovating static frequency converter solutions for more than 40 years. SFCs have a unique ability to control voltage, frequency, and power flow. This technology makes them crucial to several power applications, particularly rail, grid interties, shore-to-ship, and pumped hydro storage. SFCs are based on Hitachi Energy
The pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) is a well-established and commercially-acceptable technology for utility-scale electricity storage and has been used since as early as the 1890s. Hydro power is not only a renewable and sustainable energy source, but its flexibility and storage capacity also make it possible to improve grid
Pumped-storage hydroelectricity (PSH), or pumped hydroelectric energy storage (PHES), is a type of hydroelectric energy storage used by electric power systems for load balancing.The method stores energy in the form of gravitational potential energy of water, pumped from a lower elevation reservoir to a higher elevation.
