Germany, Bad Lauchstädt: The transmission grid operator 50Hertz will expand its substation near Bad Lauchstädt in southern Saxony-Anhalt.
The substation is to become an important hub for the transport of renewable energies. High investments are planned there which will soon be implemented with regional and international companies. The Power Quality business unit of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR), located in Erfurt (Thuringia), in cooperation with Omexom EBEHAKO GmbH, received an order for the construction of two so-called MSCDN systems. The Lauchstädt substation is, among other things, the starting point for the southwest coupling line (“Thuringian Power Bridge”) on which renewable electricity will be transported southward.
“We can do energy transition,” says a delighted Wilfried Breuer, Managing Director of Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen. “With the MSCDN systems in Bad Lauchstädt, we are once again demonstrating our comprehensive system expertise in our own country, adding to transmission grid operators Tennet and Amprion. Our specialists in Erfurt have already installed such systems several times worldwide and will also ensure reliable completion in Saxony-Anhalt.”
The abbreviation MSCDN stands for mechanically switched capacitor with damping network. The reactive power compensation systems have a capacity of 300 MVAR each and provide static reactive power. Completion of the work as well as commissioning is planned for 2025.
