• Decoupling Engine Speed and generator through Back to back conversion process fundamentally changes the characteristics of fuel based energy production

• Significantly improved response capabilities of the prime mover- predictive- not reactive


• Converter provides Grid Support Features

• Generation Stability without Storage• Transient response• Frequency Regulation• VAR Support-100% • Virtual Spinning Reserve• Engine off operation

• Healthy LOW LOAD operation typical 10%• Dispatchable + Renewable Firming 24/7/365 • Cost effective transition Grids to 100% renewable with fossil back up
