Siemens Power Transmission and Distribution (PTD) has signed a multi-year distribution deal with Australian company Powercorp to distribute its new power quality solution, PowerStore .

Developed and manufactured entirely in Australia by Northern Territory innovators, the PowerStore solution is the first technology of its kind in the world. Designed to absorb and source energy at exceptionally high speed, the product works to smooth all generation fluctuations to maintain utility quality electrical supply.

Steve Robinson, Siemens executive general manager power transmission and distribution, said the new product was a breakthrough for the wind generation and mining industries.

"PowerStore is a true power quality device and the first commercial solution on the market capable of large output." PowerStore addresses the problem of power fluctuation in grids, which is common, and most acute in soft grids, such as remote area isolated networks, mine site electrical distribution and community power supply. The problem also exists in large networks at the end of long distribution lines, at the interconnection point of wind farms and other critical nodes.
