Renewables
Renewable energy projects require medium-voltage interconnection equipment that can be deployed quickly, operate reliably in remote outdoor environments, and meet strict utility grid interconnection requirements.
Federal Pacific engineers medium-voltage solutions purpose-built for solar, wind, and battery storage applications, providing reliable power delivery from generation assets to the utility grid under the GridConnex name.
Renewable Energy Interconnection Challenges
Renewable energy developers face a unique set of power distribution challenges driven by the nature of distributed generation, remote site locations, and utility interconnection requirements.
Grid Interconnection Compliance
Meeting utility requirements for protection, control, and metering at the point of common coupling, including revenue-grade metering and relay protection for DER interconnection.
Rapid Site Deployment
Retrofitting aging substations often means replacing equipment within original footprints, requiring custom-engineered switchgear that fits legacy dimensions while delivering modern performance.
Compact Footprint
Replacing overhead pole-mounted grid-tie equipment with a single, ultra-compact pad-mounted enclosure reduces site complexity and simplifies installation.
Elimination of Oil and SF
Air-insulated equipment removes the environmental risk and maintenance burden associated with oil and sulfur hexafluoride, which is especially important in remote or environmentally sensitive locations.
GridConnex by Federal Pacific
Federal Pacific designs medium-voltage distribution equipment that supports reliable grid operation, safe switching, and long-term serviceability across utility distribution networks.
GridConnex DER Interconnection System
The complete solution for medium-voltage grid-tie interconnection. Everything required for protection, switching, and revenue-grade metering is housed in a single enclosure, including an air-insulated Auto-Jet load break switch, single-phase vacuum circuit breakers with relay-controlled protection and automatic three-phase switching, CTs and PTs for revenue-grade metering and relay protection, lightning arresters, and a switchgear space heater. No SF6 or oil — quick installation, ultra compact.
