Regulation and Storage

For the installation of turbo-generator units operating as mini grids

JLA Hydro has developed an electronic card for frequency regulation through load control: the Electronic Load Controller.

This system is directly integrated into the control panels and allows for the regulation of the turbo-generator unit’s frequency in areas that are not connected to an existing electrical grid. For grid-connected sites, this solution helps limit overspeed in the event of grid disconnection.
 
Regulation is primarily achieved by dissipating energy using an electrical load bank, also known as a “ballast.” This approach ensures highly accurate frequency regulation, even during rapid load variations on the user network.
 
In addition to this system, JLA Hydro offers on-site energy storage solutions, which help stabilize loads, manage supply and absorption of energy, optimize integration of various energy sources, and shift energy use between the time of production and consumption. Energy storage can also be used for providing network support services.
