Boundary Dam provides nearly half of the power generated by SCL.\r\n\r\nThe three 190 MVA generators each will be outfitted with RTX POWER static excitation systems with redundant controllers and N+1 thyristor bridges.\u00a0 In addition to a local 15\u201d HMI panel for each unit, remote HMI panels will be installed in the control room to access the three (3) static excitation systems.\r\n\r\nOne significant benefit of the RTX POWER system is the mechanical flexibility. For the Boundary site, this was a vital aspect as the uprated static excitation system is replacing a smaller exciter and a new location for the exciter was required.\u00a0 REIVAX\u2019s and GE\u2019s engineers worked together to find the best configuration for the static excitation system in order to optimize the overall installation work.\r\n\r\nThe Boundary project will deliver three (3) full excitation systems, one system per year, between 2019-2021.\r\n\r\nREIVAX has also been awarded a second separate contract directly with Seattle City Light for the supply of two (2) static excitation systems for their Cedar Falls hydro station.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIf you would like more information please check our our latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/reivax-case-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"case studies (opens in a new tab)\">case studies<\/a> and learn more about what solutions we can provide for: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/excitation-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"excitation systems (opens in a new tab)\">excitation systems<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/digital-hydro-speed-governor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"hydro speed governor (opens in a new tab)\">hydro speed governor<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/combined-system\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"combined systems (opens in a new tab)\">combined systems<\/a>.\r\n\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<!-- \/wp:post-content --><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reivax attended IEEE PES Conference Meeting in Atlanta 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":19530,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1604,1605],"tags":[1592],"yst_prominent_words":[920,919,189,165,921,162,922,917,914,160,156,130,916,913,912,918,915,164,326,161],"class_list":["post-19526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-awards","category-excitation","tag-excitation-system"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19526"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22086,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19526\/revisions\/22086"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19526"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.reivax.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=19526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
