Aluminium smelters, which are supplied by captive power plants, can maintain their production even when disconnected from the external grid, a.k.a. islanded operation, provided that the captive plant can control frequency and voltage in a stable manner. Do you want to know more about this - please read the paper Ensuring Availability of Aluminium Smelters Through Island Operation Capability which Solvina presented at the IBAAS conference in September 2018,  or contact us for more information.

We are very excited to announce that Grid Code Compliance project for South Rhodes power plant (119 MW) was successfully completed. In exceptional collaboration with Wärtsilä, Solvina performed site testing for seven four-stroke identical 18V46 diesel engine generators. The scope of the test was to verify that Wärtsilä generating units fulfilled the criteria of the Greek Grid Code and focused on the fluctuations of the prime mover of each generator. This was done by measuring and analyzing the fluctuations of the active power and the generator terminal voltage. https://www.wartsila.com/media/news/27-01-2010-wartsila-receives-power-plant-order-from-greek-islands
