Renecost – the future of grid stability

Installation

Although the Renecost system is equipped with internal protection functions (power control loop and control circuit) against overload and short circuit, overload and short-circuit protection is still required for the connection cables between the voltage source and the load. This protection must take the nominal current of the system into account.
The installation of the Renecost system is straightforward. Basically, two variants are possible:

01

Directly after the transformer station – on the low-voltage side, behind the energy meter and before the main low-voltage distribution (NSHV). It must be ensured that the Renecost system is installed downstream of the main protective device. The upstream protective device must be rated according to the nominal current of the system. The rated short-circuit withstand capability of the network at the installation point must not exceed 17 kA; otherwise, the let-through current at the circuit breaker must be limited to 17 kA. This ensures that the permissible short-circuit withstand capability of the system is not exceeded.

02

The system can also be installed on an outgoing feeder of a low-voltage main distribution board (NSHV). In this case, only part of all consumers is supplied with regulated, reduced and stabilised voltage. The system must be protected by an upstream protective device (fuse or circuit breaker) whose rated current corresponds to the rated current of the system.
