Connection of wind or PV into the grid? LoviSil® feed-in joints offer the solution
The challenge: dependence on switchgear
In modern wind farms, switchgear is mandatory at every turbine for protection, safety and operation of the electrical network. But this component often poses a logistical challenge:
- Long delivery times: Complex production and global delivery issues delay projects.
- No quick repair: Damaged units require full replacement, which can take months.
- Operational risk: A defective control cabinet can not only shut down one turbine, but in the case of a ring network also the supply of electricity from the other turbines.
This leads to financial risks due to missed deadlines and downtime.
The alternative: LoviSil® feed-in joints
Lovink Enertech introduces the LoviSil® feed-in joints as a smart (temporary) solution. This cable joint connects the MV cables of PV or windturbines directly into the main cable, allowing turbines to be connected directly to the underground collection grid, without waiting for MV switchgear. The advantages of LoviSil® cable joints:
- Thermal stability: Resistant to variable loads and harmonic currents.
- Self-healing: LoviSil® is liquid and prevents permanent damage in the event of voltage spikes.
- Easy installation: Less dependent on workmanship, less chance of errors.
- Waterproof and robust: Ideal for moisture rich soil conditions.
With the LoviSil® feed-in joint , the wind turbine or PV can be connected to the (ring) grid instantly, so that electricity can be delivered earlier. This mitigates financial risks due to delayed delivery.
